What do you like best about Explainly | Explainer Videos?

We needed an explainer video, and every other vendor we looked into felt a little sloppy. Explainly, on the other hand, I had everything dialed in to such an extent that I was taking notes on processes and ways of working that I could bring to my own company.

The final product they delivered was also fantastic and exactly what we wanted. I don't know why we would ever use a different company.

They even shifted with us when a new CMO came in halfway through the project and wanted the video to go in an entirely new direction.

They delivered an amazing final product at a lower price than all other comparable alternatives.

What do you dislike about Explainly | Explainer Videos?

Perhaps we could have had a little more editorial support after the project pivoted, but the fact that they pivoted with us, without grumbling, more than made up for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Explainly | Explainer Videos:

Amazing final product at a price lower than all other comparable alternatives I could find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Explainly | Explainer Videos solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a customized explainer video, and Explainly made it possible, offering a large range of packages to meet our price point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Explainly | Explainer Videos?

What I like best about Explainly is their combination of creativity, professionalism, and dedication to understanding our needs. This is my second time working with them and from the outset, Aaron and the team made sure they grasped our message, goals, and target audience. Their ability to turn complex ideas into clear, engaging visuals and narratives was impressive. The process was collaborative, efficient, and enjoyable, with transparent communication and quick turnaround times. The final video perfectly captured our vision, delivering both impact and clarity. It's rare to find a partner who balances strategic thinking with creative execution so seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Explainly | Explainer Videos?

Honestly, it’s hard to find something to dislike! If I had to nitpick, I’d say I wish I had an extra excuse to see more of their fun concept sketches during the process. But in the end, everything flowed smoothly, and the final video was exactly what we needed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Explainly | Explainer Videos:

If you're looking for a team that can turn complex ideas into clear, engaging, and professional explainer videos, Explainly is the way to go. My advice: be ready to collaborate and share as much detail as possible about your goals and audience — Explainly thrives on understanding your vision. Trust their creative process and don’t hesitate to provide feedback along the way. They’re responsive, talented, and dedicated to delivering a product that truly works for you. You’ll walk away with a video that not only explains your message but also elevates your brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Explainly | Explainer Videos solving and how is that benefiting you?

Explainly helps solve the challenge of simplifying complex ideas and communicating them clearly to our audience. As a company with a nuanced product offering, we needed a way to explain our services in an engaging, digestible format that resonated with both technical and non-technical audiences. Explainly’s explainer video distilled our key messages into a concise, visually appealing story, making it easier for potential customers to quickly understand our value.

The video has not only boosted our brand clarity but also improved audience engagement and comprehension. It serves as an effective tool for marketing, onboarding, and customer education, saving us time and reducing the friction in communicating our core value proposition. This has led to more informed conversations and quicker decision-making from our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Explainly | Explainer Videos?

The team is great to work with. I provided them with an outline of the problem i'm trying to solve with a video + key details like brand guidelines and visual assets. Their team then provided feedback on best practices to make the most impactful video. Once we agreed on project scope and deliverables their team provided me with a detaild project timeline including milestones and deliverables. They shared multiple iterations of the project to ensure I could give feedback at every step. On completion, they delivered high quality files in multiple formats to ensure I had everything I need.

We needed to be able to explain what the Arity Marketing Platform does for businesses very clearly, and to make it as simple and intuitive as possible to understand.

What problems is Explainly | Explainer Videos solving and how is that benefiting you?

Communicating new features of products to customers can be challenging. Video is one of the best ways of doing this, and Explainly's video production capabilities were exactly what we needed with limited creative resources internally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
