The best whiteboard animation company to hire depends on what you need to explain and what you can spend. For B2B, healthcare and public sector explainers from $2,400, hire Broadcast2World. For premium enterprise storytelling, look at The Draw Shop or IdeaRocket. For pure hand-drawn scribing, TruScribe. For a tight budget and a fast turnaround, BreadnBeyond.
You have a message that people keep getting wrong. A new pricing model, a benefits change, a treatment pathway, a rate increase. Slides have not landed it, and the people who need it most are busy. Whiteboard animation services exist for exactly this moment: a hand reveals the idea one stroke at a time, and the audience follows the logic because they watch it being built.
The hard part is choosing who makes it. Studios range from $1,000 template shops to $30,000 enterprise teams, and most portfolios look alike at thumbnail size. This guide compares the 14 whiteboard animation companies we would shortlist in 2026, what each one does best, what they cost, and what we have learned from our own whiteboard projects for Kyriba, United Therapeutics, West Valley Water District and others.
Last updated: November 2026. We re-checked every studio for active services and recent work, and every price is a public range or a market estimate.
*Rough estimates for a 60 to 90 second custom video. Length, script, illustration detail, languages and revisions move the number. See our full whiteboard animation cost guide.
How much does whiteboard animation cost?
A custom 60-second whiteboard animation costs between $1,000 and $30,000. Most B2B teams land between $2,400 and $8,000. The spread comes from who writes the script, how detailed the illustrations are, whether you add characters and color, how many languages you need and how many revision rounds are included.
Template and freelance
$1,000 to $3,000. Stock illustration sets, light script editing and limited revisions. Works for one simple message on a tight budget.
Best for a first video or a simple internal update
Professional studio
$2,400 to $8,000. Custom script, storyboard, illustration, professional voiceover, music and structured revisions with a project manager.
Best for training, healthcare, utilities and B2B explainers
Premium enterprise
$10,000 to $30,000+. Senior creative teams, brand strategy and heavier illustration. The Draw Shop and IdeaRocket sit here.
Best for flagship brand stories with big media spend
At Broadcast2World, a 60-second whiteboard video starts at $2,400 on our Growth plan, delivered in 4 to 6 weeks, or 2 to 3 weeks with our AI-assisted option. Premium plans run $3,500 to $5,000 in 6 to 8 weeks, with richer illustration and characters. Every plan includes 2 revision rounds per stage, source files and a 50:50 payment split.
One pattern from our own projects: whiteboard videos that teach tend to run longer than marketing explainers. Our recent whiteboard work for Kyriba, United Therapeutics and Frontier Economics ran from 3 to 5 minutes each, so budget per minute matters more than the 60-second headline price.

What whiteboard animation services include
A full-service whiteboard animation company takes you from a rough idea to a finished file. Here is what a professional package should cover, and what to confirm before you sign.
01Script
Written or edited by the studio. Many of our whiteboard clients send an outline or a locked script, and we shape it for pacing.
02Storyboard
Frame-by-frame sketches you approve before any animation starts.
03Custom illustration
Drawings made for your story, in black and white, color or a hybrid look.
04Voiceover and music
A professional voice in your language, with music and sound design.
05Revisions
A fixed number of rounds per stage. Ours is 2 rounds at every stage.
06Files you own
Final videos, captions and the source files, so future edits are easy.
Useful add-ons include extra language versions, short cutdowns for social channels and an internal version without pricing or product details.
How to choose a whiteboard animation company
Every studio on this list can draw. The difference shows up in how they handle your message. Use these checks while you compare whiteboard animation services:
01Samples in your world
Ask for whiteboard work in your industry. A healthcare buyer should see healthcare samples, a utility should see public-facing work. A good digital portfolio makes this quick.
02Who writes the story
Find out whether the studio writes the script or animates yours, and who owns the narrative.
03The look you need
Classic black on white reads as a lesson. Color, characters and infographics read as a brand. Ask to see both.
04Process and people
A dedicated project manager, structured feedback rounds and a clear revision policy predict a smooth project.
05Ownership and languages
Confirm source files, captions and extra language versions before you compare quotes.
06Price per minute
Teaching videos often run 2 to 5 minutes. Compare cost per finished minute as well as the 60-second price.
Hire a studio, an illustrator or use software?
Whiteboard animation software such as VideoScribe and Doodly lets you build a video yourself from a library of drawings. It is quick and inexpensive, and works well for internal updates or classroom content when you have time to learn the tool. A freelance illustrator gives you custom drawings and a personal style for a single video. A whiteboard animation company adds scriptwriting, storyboards, voiceover, project management and consistent quality across a series.
These come from our own whiteboard work and from first calls with buyers who found us through this guide. Clients are named where our agreements allow it; the rest are described by industry.
01Split a big change into chapters
Kyriba needed its teams to understand a pricing rollout. We made three whiteboard videos of about three and a half minutes each, so every team could watch the part that applied to them.
02Whiteboard can carry a brand
For a global tech brand, working through its PR agency, we made a four-part employee wellbeing series covering retirement savings, mental health support, coaching and college planning. The scripts were approved by the client and every frame followed the agency's mood board.
03Plan languages at the script stage
West Valley Water District needed to reach every ratepayer, so the explainer was planned in English and Spanish from day one. Timing the script for both languages kept the second version quick and affordable.
04Healthcare wants color and people
A healthcare association told us a plain whiteboard sample felt too much like a classroom. What they wanted was infographics and characters. Our healthcare whiteboard for FibroGen and United Therapeutics uses color and characters for exactly this reason.
05Budget is often the reason, and that is fine
An energy technology company selling to US utility executives chose whiteboard because 3D and mixed media were over budget. Whiteboard let them fund an education-first video for leaders from CEOs to engineers.
06Ask for the hybrid
A nonprofit with a grant-capped budget liked our whiteboard samples but preferred the ones where color and graphics led and the hand-drawn effect played a smaller role. We built a hybrid, and it became their pick.

Who hires a whiteboard animation company
This guide has brought us more sales conversations than any other post on our blog, so we looked at who those buyers were over the last 12 months. The pattern is useful if you are wondering whether whiteboard fits your situation.
01Regulated and technical fields
Insurance, a medical practice, a life sciences company, a law firm and energy technology firms. Each had a complex topic and an audience that needed it explained plainly.
02Education comes first
Most wanted to teach a process, a policy or a product before they wanted to sell it. Whiteboard was the natural style for that goal.
03They research before they call
Most read between 3 and 9 pages on our site before booking a call. Samples in their own industry did most of the convincing.
04The sample that closes
The video our team sends most often before a whiteboard project starts is the Christian Church Homes overview. Its friendly illustration and calm pacing show a buyer what a clear, warm whiteboard story feels like.
Whiteboard animation in 2026: what has changed
Whiteboard animation is still in demand because the job it does has not changed: explaining something complex in a way people remember. What has changed is how studios make it and how teams use it.
01Color and hybrid looks
Many whiteboard videos now mix the hand-drawn reveal with color, characters and infographic moments. Buyers in healthcare and finance often ask for this look.
02Faster production
AI-assisted workflows have shortened timelines. Our AI-assisted option delivers a whiteboard video in 2 to 3 weeks.
03Series over single videos
Teams split big topics into short chapters, like the Kyriba three-part series, so each audience watches what applies to them.
04Accessibility and languages
Captions, transcripts, audio description and second-language versions are now part of the brief from day one.

Whiteboard animation is a video style where illustrations appear to be drawn on a white surface in time with a voiceover. Because viewers watch each idea being built, it works well for explaining processes, policies, products and complex topics.
Which whiteboard animation company should I hire?
Match the studio to your goal and budget. Broadcast2World suits B2B, healthcare, utility and nonprofit explainers from $2,400. The Draw Shop and IdeaRocket suit premium enterprise brand stories. TruScribe suits classic hand-drawn scribing, and BreadnBeyond and Scribe Bunny suit small budgets that need speed.
How much does whiteboard animation cost?
A custom 60-second whiteboard video costs $1,000 to $30,000. Template and freelance work runs $1,000 to $3,000, professional studios $2,400 to $8,000, and premium enterprise studios $10,000 to $30,000+. At Broadcast2World, whiteboard starts at $2,400 for 60 seconds.
Can I get a quality whiteboard video for under $5,000?
Yes. Many professional studios on this list produce a custom 60 to 90 second whiteboard video under $5,000, including Broadcast2World from $2,400, Cartoon Media, Exaltus and BreadnBeyond. Longer videos and extra languages add to the cost.
How long does a whiteboard animation take to make?
Most studios deliver a 60 to 90 second video in 3 to 6 weeks. Ours takes 4 to 6 weeks, or 2 to 3 weeks with the AI-assisted option. Longer teaching videos and multi-video series take more time.
How long should a whiteboard video be?
Marketing explainers work best at 60 to 90 seconds. Training and education videos often run 2 to 5 minutes. For long topics, split the content into a short series so viewers can watch the part they need.
What is the difference between whiteboard animation and 2D animation?
Whiteboard animation reveals illustrations as if drawn by hand, which helps viewers follow a step-by-step explanation. 2D animation moves characters and scenes freely and suits brand stories and emotion. Many studios, including ours, offer hybrid looks that combine both.
Is whiteboard animation still effective in 2026?
Yes. The style keeps attention by revealing one idea at a time, which suits training, healthcare, finance and public information. Studios now add color, characters and infographic moments, and AI-assisted workflows have made production faster.
Does whiteboard animation work for healthcare?
Yes. It is widely used for patient education, clinical explainers and staff training. Healthcare teams often prefer color, characters and infographics inside the whiteboard style, which keeps the video friendly and clear.
Can a whiteboard video be made in more than one language?
Yes. Plan languages at the script stage so timing works for each version. We made the West Valley Water District explainer in English and Spanish this way.
Who owns the final whiteboard video and source files?
It depends on the studio, so confirm it in the agreement. Broadcast2World includes source files with every project, so you own the finished video and can update it later.
Are whiteboard videos accessible?
They can be. Ask for captions, transcripts and, where needed, audio description. Our videos are produced with WCAG accessibility guidelines in mind, captions and transcripts available.
What is the best whiteboard animation software?
VideoScribe and Doodly are the best-known whiteboard animation tools. They suit quick internal videos and classroom content. For a custom script, original illustration and consistent quality across a series, hire a whiteboard animation company.
Should I use whiteboard animation software or hire a company?
Use software such as VideoScribe or Doodly for quick, simple internal videos when you have time to learn the tool. Hire a whiteboard animation company when you need a custom script, original illustration, professional voiceover and consistent quality across a series. Our whiteboard animation service FAQ covers what is included.
The right whiteboard animation company for you
Every studio here makes good work. The right whiteboard animation company is the one whose samples look like your audience, whose process fits your timeline, and whose price fits a series as well as a single video.
