Doodly review
A focused desktop tool for traditional doodle videos, with broad asset libraries and a high entry price.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Doodly is desktop whiteboard animation software for solopreneurs, marketers, educators, trainers, and businesses creating explainer, presentation, advertising, or social-media videos. Its canvas combines hand-drawn reveal animation with characters, props, scenes, music, voiceovers, and uploaded artwork. It supports whiteboard, blackboard, glassboard, and green-screen modes, making it suited to traditional doodle-style production rather than general-purpose video editing.
The paid plans are structured around asset volume and support. Standard costs $49 per month or $490 per year and includes 1,164 character images, 1,620 prop images, 20 video templates, 84 scene templates, unlimited videos, and use on multiple computers. Enterprise costs $79 per month or $790 per year, increasing the libraries to 3,959 character images and 3,341 prop images, adding 40 video templates and premium support while retaining 84 scene templates and unlimited videos. A 14-day trial provides a way to evaluate the workflow before committing.
Doodly’s standout strength is the breadth of its traditional animation toolkit: custom draw paths support imported images, users can upload PNG and JPEG files and custom fonts, and built-in voiceover recording works alongside audio import and royalty-free background music. MP4 export reaches 1080p. The trade-off is a desktop-only product for Windows and macOS that requires an internet connection and stores projects in the cloud. Choose Doodly if you want dedicated doodle-animation tools, large character and prop libraries, and unlimited video creation. Choose another option if you need a free plan or broader platform coverage.
