The verdict

Fliki wins, 6.8 to 4.2

Fliki and Lumen5 both sit near $28 to $29 a month at the cheapest paid tier. Fliki generates new AI video clips rather than only assembling stock footage, and adds lip sync, neither of which Lumen5 offers. Fliki also posts straight to YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, while Lumen5 only produces a file you upload to each platform yourself. Lumen5 supports single sign on for teams, something Fliki does not have, and Fliki speaks more languages, 80 against Lumen5's 35.

Pick Fliki if you want generated footage, lip sync and direct posting.

Pick Lumen5 if your team needs single sign on for login.
