Summary
Overview
Viggle animates characters. You supply a character image and a motion reference, and it makes the character perform that motion, or swaps a character into an existing video. It also offers real-time character swap and PINOC, a tool that turns photos into rigged 3D characters with exportable motion. Its API and MCP servers let agents run the same jobs.
Who it fits
It suits creators, marketers and animators who want a mascot, product character or meme-style clip moving without building an animation rig. Developers and agent users can connect through MCP or the API.
What the plans include
Free gives 5 videos a day. Pro is $9.99 a month, or $7.99 on the yearly view, with 80 credits and no watermark; higher tiers add credits and parallel generations. PINOC starts at $10.39 a month, and the API costs $0.01 per credit.
Limits and alternatives
Quality depends on the character image and reference motion you choose. Runway adds editing and general video generation, Pika offers effects-driven clips, and Hedra animates talking characters from audio.
