Visme vs smooth.videoWhen smooth.video fits better
You need motion graphics, not characters: a title, a stat, a lower third, a logo reveal or an overlay for a video you're already making, and a yearly contract doesn't make sense for it.
You need an animated stat, chart or title as a video or a GIF, sharper than 1366 pixels or on a transparent background, and don't want a plan just to download it.

Questions
Can smooth.video export SCORM?
No. It exports video files, which you can upload anywhere a video is accepted.
Does it have characters or avatars?
No. It animates text, images, video, shapes and drawings.
Is there a free trial?
There's no need for one: everything is free, with no time limit and no watermark.
Can I put the animation in a presentation?
Yes. Export an MP4 or a GIF and insert it into PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.
Can I import data into a chart?
No. A chart here is made of shapes you size by hand and numbers you type, which can count up as they appear. It suits a handful of figures, not a dataset.
Is there a watermark?
No, and every download is free.
Or skip the decision.
