Golpo AI Alternative (GalpoAI): Golpo vs KolaVid

Searching for GalpoAI? The product is Golpo AI. Compare its whiteboard videos, editing and cost per minute with KolaVid, with facts checked 28 October 2026.

If you searched for "GalpoAI", the product you are most likely after is Golpo AI, an AI whiteboard explainer video maker. Its site uses the names Golpo AI and Golpo, and its footer names Red Tree Inc. as the company; we found no product called GalpoAI. Golpo and KolaVid both turn a prompt or a document into a narrated whiteboard video. The biggest differences are that Golpo lets you edit the result in detail, while KolaVid costs far less per minute and has no editor.

Every Golpo fact below comes from video.golpoai.com, checked on 28 October 2026.

What Golpo AI does

Golpo's headline is "AI whiteboard explainer videos from any document/prompt". You type a prompt (the box allows up to 18,500 characters) and attach documents such as a PDF, and Golpo writes the script and draws the animation. From its own pages:

• More inputs than most. You can bring a script or lesson notes, upload your own recorded narration (Golpo times the animation to your voice), add real photos, screenshots, logos and video clips, and record your screen.
• Editing after generation. You can tell Golpo what to change in plain English, step through every frame, adjust when each visual appears down to the millisecond, and edit any text, shape or animation on its own. On Starter, the first edit is free and later edits are charged.
• Styles. More than ten, from marker sketches to blackboard chalk and technical diagrams. Starter is black and white only; colour and more sketch styles start on Growth.
• Presenters and voices. You can turn a photo into an AI presenter for a whiteboard video, or use a Golpo avatar, on certain plans. Voice cloning is on Business and above.
• Languages and frames. 45+ languages (Creator and above; Starter can add multilingual for $40). Landscape and vertical 9:16.
• Length. Up to 2 minutes on Starter and Creator, 4 on Growth, 10 on Business and Scale, and up to 15 minutes in beta on Enterprise.

That is a deep feature set. Golpo is closer to an AI generator with a full editor attached than to a one-step tool.

Golpo AI vs KolaVid at a glance

Checked on 28 October 2026 on video.golpoai.com and kolavid.com. Monthly prices; confirm before buying.

Golpo also sells pay-as-you-go credits ($7.99 each for 5 to 19, $5.99 for 20 to 99, $3.99 for 100 or more) and an API-only tier with a $200 minimum.

Working out cost per minute

Monthly prices hide what you really pay for each finished video. Here is the sum, so you can redo it for any tool.

Golpo. Its pricing page defines one credit as one minute of video for pay-as-you-go. At that rate, Starter's 20 credits for $39.99 come to about $2.00 a minute, before any yearly discount. With 40% off yearly, about $1.20. Business, at $499.99 for 390 credits, is about $1.28 a minute. (The API section of the same page uses a different credit rule, so check how credits apply to your plan.)

KolaVid. Whiteboard video uses one credit a second. Starter's 5,000 credits for $19.99 are about 83 minutes, so roughly $0.24 a minute.

Now apply it to a real month. Say a school makes eight 2-minute lesson videos, 16 minutes in all:

• On Golpo Starter, 16 of 20 credits, $39.99, with 4 minutes to spare.
• On KolaVid Starter, 960 of 5,000 credits, $19.99, with about 67 minutes to spare.

The gap is real, but so is what you get for it. If you will spend an hour editing each Golpo video to get it exactly right, the editor may be worth more to you than the minutes. For more ways to keep video costs down, see our guide to low-cost AI video creation.

Choose Golpo AI when

Golpo is the stronger choice if any of these is true:

• You need to fix details without starting over. Changing one label, moving one drawing or shifting a timing by half a second is what Golpo's editor is for. KolaVid cannot do that.
• You want to narrate it yourself. Upload your own recording and Golpo times the drawings to it. With voice cloning on Business, you can also use an AI copy of your voice.
• Your video needs real screenshots or footage. Software walkthroughs, product clips and photos of real equipment can go straight into a Golpo video.
• You want a presenter on screen. Golpo can add an AI presenter. KolaVid has none.
• You want colour styles or chalkboard looks. Golpo offers several styles from Growth upwards.
• Your videos run past 5 minutes. Business and Scale go to 10 minutes.
• You are building it into software. Golpo has an API tier.

Choose KolaVid when

KolaVid fits better if:

• You make many videos on a small budget. At about $0.24 a minute on Starter, weekly lessons or a full training series stay affordable.
• You want to keep a free test video. Golpo's free video cannot be downloaded; KolaVid's free 2-minute video can be downloaded or shared, with a small KolaVid mark.
• Your source is a web page or slide deck. KolaVid reads links and PowerPoint files directly. Our guide to turning a PDF into a whiteboard video shows how to prepare long files.
• You need square video. KolaVid makes 1:1 as well as 16:9 and 9:16.
• You would rather not edit at all. If the first result is good enough most of the time, an editor is time you do not need to spend.

A quick way to decide

Write down the last three videos you needed and answer one question for each: after the first version, would I have changed anything by hand? If the answer is yes for two or three of them, Golpo's editing will earn its price. If the answer is mostly no, or the changes were to the script itself, a cheaper generator will do, and you fix the script and make the video again.

How KolaVid handles the same job

In KolaVid you type a topic, paste a script, upload a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file, or add a link. Then you pick the frame (16:9, 9:16 or 1:1), the length (1, 2, 3 or 5 minutes), a female or male voice and the narration language. KolaVid writes the narration, draws one idea a board and reveals each drawing as the narrator says it. It is usually ready in a few minutes; you download the MP4 or share a link.

The narration language changes the whole video, board words included. This frame comes from a Spanish lesson on volcanoes:

The limits are the other side of the price. KolaVid has no editing timeline, no uploads of your own photos, footage or narration, no presenter or avatar and no team seats, and videos stop at 5 minutes. The free account's 120 credits make one 2-minute video with no card. You can start from our AI whiteboard video maker or see sample lessons on KolaVid for teachers.
