A Kaiber alternative for music videos with a story and a singer
Kaiber's song-to-video tool makes a montage, and its lip-sync is a separate tool for one forward-facing face. Reelody writes a story for the whole song and syncs the singer inside it.

The short answer
Kaiber's Music Video Montage turns your audio and a description into a one-to-three-minute video, and its own guide is clear about what that is: “It's a montage, not a story.” Lip-sync lives in a separate Canvas tool, which asks for “a forward-facing shot of a single person's face”.
Reelody makes the story and the performance together: a scenario with a cast and locations, then the singer synced on the lines you choose, in close-ups, wide shots and duets.

When Kaiber is the better choice
If you already have footage or images and want them cut to the beat with no prompting, Kaiber's Beat Sync does that. Its Canvas is a flexible space for mixing image and video models, its credits roll over and do not expire, and its entry plan is $10 a month.
When Reelody is the better choice
If the video should tell a story and the singer should sing it, Reelody plans both from the song: 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. There is a free demo of your own song, no card. See how the lip-sync works.
