Quick answer **Doodly** is our top pick for most people. Choose Doodly if the explainer still has to be drawn. It is desktop animation software from Voomly LLC, with drag-and-drop scenes and an MP4 export, and the checkout bundles the app with Voomly hosting. A sales letter that has to show which view produced the purchase needs a different player. * **Doodly.** Best for whiteboard explainers. From $49/mo. Doodly is the whiteboard app from Voomly LLC. You build the explainer on a Mac or PC, drag scenes into place, and export an MP4\. The same editor also covers blackboard, glassboard and green screen. The offer on its site is a trial that also includes Voomly, the host, and the other creation apps in that suite. Cloud rendering saves the finished video into the Voomly library. If the footage already exists, you only need hosting. The comparison names the tiers that do not include the drawing apps.

The sources are Doodly's homepage and checkout, Voomly's plan page and help center, and Trustpilot reviews. ### Frequently asked questions What does Doodly actually make? Whiteboard, blackboard, glassboard and green screen animations, edited by dragging scenes around, then saved as an MP4\. The hosting and the funnel live on Voomly, the sister product. Does a Doodly purchase include hosting? The checkout on doodly.com sells the app together with Voomly Cloud. Hosting-only Voomly tiers leave the drawing apps out, which is the path when the footage already exists. Where do I cancel? In the Voomly customer center. The help center says there are two login places while the company changes platforms, so use the purchase email and keep the receipt if you ask for a refund. ### Sources #### From Doodly * #### Other sources 4 discussions and reviews read for this page.
