Sketchie review
Affordable whiteboard video creation with multilingual narration and API access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Sketchie is a web-based AI tool for creating narrated whiteboard explainer videos from prompts, documents, links, audio, or video. It is aimed at founders, teachers, course creators, support teams, and other users who need short explainers. Sketchie generates a script, creates scenes, adds narration, and provides an editable scene graph rather than a fixed final video. It supports MP4 export in three aspect ratios and works through the web or API.
Pricing is structured around monthly rendered minutes and feature access. Solo costs $9.99 per month with monthly billing or $5.99 per month with annual billing, and includes 40 rendered minutes, the full scene editor, all voices, and all aspect ratios. Plus costs $19.99 monthly or $11.99 with annual billing, raises the allowance to 100 rendered minutes, and adds API and MCP access. Pro costs $49.99 monthly or $29.99 with annual billing, includes 300 rendered minutes, API and MCP access, and custom branding on every video. Max costs $99.99 monthly or $59.99 with annual billing, with 750 rendered minutes and the same API, MCP, and branding features. The limited free offer covers the first two videos, up to one minute each, and adds a watermark.
The standout capability is the editable workflow: users can change individual scenes and re-render only the changed scene. That can suit explainers that need revisions without rebuilding the entire video. Narration in 79 languages and multiple aspect ratios broaden its use across audiences and publishing formats. Developers can connect through the API or MCP, with listed compatibility for Claude, Cursor, and MCP clients. Sketchie fits buyers who want prompt-to-video generation, whiteboard visuals, and automation at a low entry price. Buyers needing a permanent free plan, higher rendered-minute allowances, or a broader listed integration ecosystem should consider alternatives.
