What Hula AI is, and why people look for an alternative

Hula AI: Trend Video Generator is made by Prequel Inc., the company behind the Prequel app, and is free to download on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play, where it is listed as Hula - AI Video Generator. Its store description covers avatars, photo-to-video effects, video remixes, sticker packs made from a single selfie, and cartoon and time-travel styles. Its App Store in-app purchase list shows Hula Premium weekly and yearly subscriptions plus AI creation packs, video packages and coins, and its App Store version was last updated on September 29, 2026.

Searches such as ‘hula ai free alternative’, ‘hula ai app cost’ and ‘is hula ai app worth it’ suggest people are weighing the price or want a different set of effects. Before you switch, know what Hula AI does that Ginly AI doesn't: avatars, sticker packs, video remixes and cartoon styles.

How we compared

Every fact about another app comes from its official App Store (US) or Google Play listing, checked on October 1, 2026, and links to it. For iPhone and iPad, the Platforms column follows each App Store listing's Compatibility section; Android means the app has a Google Play listing. We chose apps that, like Hula AI, turn your own photos into short videos or AI looks on a phone. We haven't tested the other apps' output, so we don't rank their quality, and because prices vary by region and change often, we describe pricing models, not prices.

6 Hula AI alternatives, one by one

1. Ginly AI: 100+ ready-made video effects from one photo

Ginly AI turns a photo into a short AI video using ready-made effect templates. We list it first because we make it, and because its library is built around trend videos like the ones Hula AI is named for: fan cams, tiny-you clips, dances, figurines and transformations. Each template carries its own instructions, so there is no prompt to write.

• Trend effects: AI stadium video catches you on a stadium fan cam or a festival big screen, Mini Me AI has giant fingers lift a tiny you, AI dance video makes the person in your photo dance, 3D figurine AI turns you into a desk figurine, and earth zoom AI dives in from orbit down to you. More in AI trend videos.
• Time-travel looks and transformations: AI aging video adds an older you to the frame, AI younger self a younger you, and AI transformation videos cover hair, muscle and mermaid looks. All are AI-imagined.
• Halloween: zombie filter, werewolf filter and creepy smile filter in the Halloween AI trend set, for adults only.
• Platforms: iPhone and iPad (iOS 13 or later per the App Store listing) and Android 7.0 or later. Videos are made in the cloud, so you need an internet connection; there is no web or desktop version.
• Pricing model: free to download, and creating a video uses credits. Credits come with weekly plans (Plus, Pro and Ultra), and subscribers can top up with credit packs. New users may get free starter credits, and a daily credit gift may be available. Offers can change.
• Good to know: guest mode works without an account, the interface comes in 11 languages, and the AI providers' content filters may reject some photos.
• Where Hula AI is stronger: Ginly AI makes videos only. It has no avatars, sticker packs, cartoon styles or photo results, and it can't remix a video you add.
• Best for: trend, dance and transformation videos from one photo on iPhone or Android, with no prompt.

2. Pose: no-prompt trend looks on iPhone

Pose: AI Photo Video Generator from Spark Dynamics offers trend filters that work from one photo without a prompt, according to its App Store description.

• Where it is stronger: it makes trend photos and headshots as well as videos.
• Overlap with Ginly AI: fan-cam and birthday themes, like our AI stadium video and AI birthday video effects.
• Limitations: the key features in its App Store description are mostly photo shoots, headshots and portraits, so videos are one part of it.
• Best for: iPhone and Android users who want viral trend photos and videos without typing a prompt.

3. Momo: AI photo styles with dance videos

Momo: AI Photo & Video Maker comes from ScaleUp and is also on Google Play. Its Play description lists AI dance videos, a viral video creator, selfie retakes, a hairstyle changer, an aging filter and an upscaler, across hundreds of styles that include fan-cam edits.

• Platforms: iPhone and Android.

4. Glam AI: selfie styles, beauty looks and video effects

Glam AI: Video & Photo Editor from Glam Labs, Inc. combines AI effects with a photo and beauty editor. Its Google Play description lists 400+ filters and effects, AI styles such as cartoon looks, 10 results from one photo, image to video, an AI clothes changer, a beauty and body editor, and headshots.

• Where it is stronger: a bigger library by its own count, cartoon-style looks (which Hula AI also offers), beauty and fashion tools, and photo results as well as videos. Its Play description also says new effects arrive 3–4 times a week.
• Limitations: video effects are one part of a broader photo and beauty editor.
• Best for: trend-driven selfie styles and beauty or fashion looks. More in our apps like Glam AI comparison.

5. Revive: photo animations and AI avatars

Revive: AI Face Photo Animator is made by RefaceAI Limited and is also on Google Play.

• Platforms: iPhone and Android.
• Pricing model: a weekly Revive PRO subscription, a lifetime access option and avatar packs, per its App Store in-app purchase list.
• Where it is stronger: AI avatars, which Hula AI users won't find in Ginly AI, plus photos that speak or sing and a lifetime purchase option.

• Best for: dance and meme motion clips made from a photo.

• Avatars: Revive, or Hula AI itself.
• Sticker packs and video remixes: Hula AI itself, or Viggle AI to put yourself into a video clip; Ginly AI does neither.
