AutoShorts.ai is one of the cleanest pure-automation tools on the market: you pick a niche, connect TikTok and YouTube, and the platform handles the rest. But creators keep raising the same flag — after a few weeks the output starts repeating, retention drops, and there is no real editor to course-correct. Vexub gives you the same hands-off automation potential plus a real editor, six creation modes and a predictable price at €1 per finished video.
This is the honest side-by-side. Both tools target faceless creators, both ship subtitles and AI voiceover, but they answer different questions. AutoShorts asks: "how do I post every day without thinking?". Vexub asks: "how do I post every day AND keep control of quality?"

Where AutoShorts falls short in 2026
AutoShorts wins on pure automation. Where it loses ground is once the algorithm starts to punish repetition. Reviewers consistently note that AutoShorts "delivers on automation but needs more variation to keep viewers engaged long-term under the 2026 algorithm standards". Three things hurt the long-term play:
Faceless shorts only. No text-to-video for long horizontal content, no MP3-to-video, no YouTube clipping, no AI video models. You stack other tools as soon as you want to grow beyond one format.
Templates over editor. You can tweak templates but you cannot truly edit a scene, swap a clip, or refine the camera. When a video underperforms, you cannot salvage it.
Repetition risk. Daily auto-generation from the same topic bank tends to produce very similar outputs. After a few weeks the channel feels machine-made — and that's how the algorithm treats it.
Cost per video adds up. Starter at $19/month for ~12 finished videos works out to roughly $1.58 each. The Daily plan at $39/month covers 30 videos — same as Vexub at €30, but with no editor.
What Vexub does differently
Vexub is built as a single video engine with six modes, so you can stay on one tool whether you are running an autopilot faceless channel, repurposing a podcast, or producing a cinematic AI shot.
Six modes in one tool
Text-to-Video. Paste a prompt and get a complete vertical video with AI voice, subtitles and edit.
MP3-to-Video. Upload a voiceover or podcast extract, turn it into a short.
MP4-to-Video. Re-edit horizontal footage into a vertical short with B-roll and subtitles.
SMS Video. Recreate viral SMS conversation videos with synthesized voices.
AI Video (VEO 3, Kling, Grok). Generate cinematic AI shots from a prompt.
YouTube Clipping. Turn long videos into vertical clips with active speaker detection.
A real editor on every paid plan
When a video does not perform, you can open it in the Vexub editor, swap the voice, change the subtitle preset, replace a B-roll clip or tighten the pacing. AutoShorts does not give you that path — the video is either kept or regenerated from scratch. The 13 subtitle presets, camera control and B-roll library are all included from the entry plan.
Predictable price per finished video
Vexub plans are priced in finished videos, not in raw minutes processed. The €30 entry plan ships 30 finished videos per month, which is exactly €1 per finished video. Yearly billing applies a 60% discount.
