The short answer
Pick Solmi if this describes you: If you work from your phone, Solmi has iOS and Android apps with one shared credit balance. It imports a Suno share link directly, the same account makes songs, covers, dance and lyric videos, you can regenerate and pay for one shot at a time, and it detects lyrics in 14 languages.
Pick visuals.fm if this does: If you are a label, manager or agency making release content for several artists, visuals.fm gives you a shared workspace, saved style rules, an API and a creative team you can hire for a turnkey video. Its three visual treatments from one photo are a fast way to see directions before committing.
Pick Reelody if the video should tell a story and the singer should sing it: a cast that stays the same in every scene, more than one singer when the song is a duet, and lip-sync that holds when the singer is small in a wide shot. Every plan and the free demo render in 1080p.
