The People
Explainly is a U.S. based explainer video company that specializes in animated video production.
Explainer Video Styles
We offer a variety of animated explainer video styles. From animation marketing videos to help with your latest online social media campaign to made-for-tv commercial videos, we can deliver on any animation style, optimized to any medium, for any animated videos for business. If you have a specific concept that you don’t see here, feel free to reach out and ask if we can do it – I bet we can.
The 6-8 Rule

The 6-8 Rule is a good rule of thumb for Explainly ballpark estimates.
That being said, every company is different and has different wants and needs.
Just let us know what you want and we can be accommodating.

We offer two free revisions per step of our process, so our timeline depends on how quickly you’re able to update your revisions or approval to continue moving the process along.
That being said, we offer rush services that can turnaround videos in 4-6 weeks and super rush services that have finished videos in only 2 weeks! If you’re interested in creating a video quickly, please reach out and we can talk about how we can make your deadline work.

This is our minimum price range for creating an effective explainer video but prices often vary as there are a lot of factors that play a part in pricing your video: the style you want, the length of your video, and your deadline for completing the video.
That being said, the sky’s the limit in terms of video quality. Most of the videos we produce range from $10,000 to $25,000. Oh, and we offer bundle pricing! So, if you’re interested in creating a series of videos, our pricing is flexible for that. If you’re interested in a high budget video or a video series, please reach out and we can talk through your ideas.

This is the explainer video sweet spot. The ones that you see on one of those startup homepages. Normally, short videos are the most engaging – Facebook says that the best video ads for their users are only 15 seconds!
That being said, we do much more than the classic explainer. We’ve worked on much longer videos and much shorter animation marketing videos that end up great as well. Time is really case by case, depending on the content of your video.
Explainer Video Production
Our process was developed to make your life as easy as possible. We believe that the smoother the process is, the easier it will be for you to get an animation explainer video that you’re truly proud of. So, what’s this mysterious process I’m talking about and why am I taking so long to get to the point? Well, because I think suspense can make a boring story a little more exciting. Oh, and last thing, you get two free rounds of revisions per step of the process.
