Choose Faceless.so if you want one service that picks a niche, writes, voices, edits and auto-posts daily on a schedule. Choose AutoShorts if you want scheduled, hands-off publishing from a topic without managing the production steps yourself. Choose neither if you need real archive footage or a written source file naming where every clip came from.
What each one does
Faceless.so positions itself as a scheduled faceless channel: it picks a niche, writes the content, adds voiceover, handles editing and auto-posts daily. The visuals it uses are generated rather than sourced from archives, and it does not provide a media credit file naming its sources.
AutoShorts is built for scheduled, hands-off publishing from a topic: you give it a subject and it handles publishing on a set cadence. Its visuals are also generated, and like Faceless.so it does not name its sources in a credit file.

Where Faceless.so wins
Faceless.so fits when you want the whole channel run by one subscription. Its starter plan costs $29 per month, measured on 23 August 2026, with 500 credits and a claimed output near 25 videos per month. If your goal is volume on a fixed daily schedule, that combination covers writing, voicing, editing and posting in one place.
It also suits operators who want to delegate niche selection entirely. Instead of researching topics yourself each week, the product picks a niche and keeps producing. For a test channel where you care more about consistent posting than editorial control, this removes most of the manual work.
The yearly option lowers the effective rate to $24 per month ($290 billed annually), so committing to a year cuts the entry cost while keeping the same credit allowance.
Where AutoShorts wins
AutoShorts wins on simplicity of intent: it is designed for scheduled, hands-off publishing from a topic. You supply the topic, and the system handles publishing without asking you to manage separate writing, voicing and editing steps. For a creator who already has a content idea pipeline but no time to operate tooling, that single-purpose focus is the appeal.
Because its scope is narrower than a full channel-in-a-box product, there is less to configure. If your workflow already includes your own scriptwriting or editing tools and all you need is reliable scheduled output, a tool dedicated to that step avoids paying for features you will never open.
Its visuals being generated means no dependency on stock libraries or uploads; everything needed for a post is produced inside the product itself.
What neither of them does
Both products generate their visuals. Neither pulls footage from a real archive, a map layer, or a chart library, and neither ships a media credit file that names the origin of every clip in a render. If your channel publishes about real events and needs verifiable imagery, both leave a gap: the picture on screen cannot be traced back to a named source, which matters for history, disaster and true-crime topics where viewers expect authentic material.
If neither fits
ViewMade turns a topic into a finished vertical documentary Short using real archive footage, maps and charts instead of generated images, and sends a media credit file naming every clip's source alongside each render.
