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.

Why Explainly for your Animated
Explainer Video?

Why Google instead of Bing? Because it’s all about results. We make great animated explainer videos for businesses. We offer years of experience.

We provide best in class customer service with animation specialists that will pick up your phone call no matter what, even if you just want someone to talk with on the phone for a couple of minutes because your ex walked into the same restaurant as you and you want to look busy. Plus, we’re located in the San Francisco Bay Area immersing ourselves in millennial minimalism, hippy optimism, and disruptive companies talking about new technologies you’ve never even heard about (and probably never want to hear about).

Be inspired. By people just like you.

"The Explainly Team is tremendously professional, kind, collaborative, and responsive. We had a need for an explainer video to reach out to high school students about data science. From concept to storyboarding to animation drafts, we were impressed with the creative direction that Explainly took."
