The studio you hire decides how well that lands, so this guide compares 19 animated explainer video companies on what buyers ask about first: style, price, turnaround and who each studio suits best. Every studio has sample work you can play right here.
Broadcast2World is our own studio, so we have put it first and said so up front. Judge the other 18 on their own work, which is what the samples are for. If you are still deciding on a format, start with our guide to the types of explainer videos.

Broadcast2World vs Wyzowl, Yum Yum Videos and Demo Duck
These three studios show up on most explainer video shortlists. Here is how they line up with Broadcast2World on published prices and timelines.
The price mostly comes down to hours. Detailed characters, custom illustration and 3D take more hours than a simple infographic piece, and each studio charges its own hourly rate. Our explainer video cost guide breaks this down by style and length.
Why quotes differ
Style sets the hours, and hours set the price. A buyer who shortlisted four of our samples this year got a different price and timeline for each one: a 60-second infographic piece was quoted at 4 to 5 weeks, while character and 3D work take longer. Shortlist the style first, then compare quotes.

BluBlu Studios and Demo Duck
Explainer video companies based in the USA
If you want a US team or a US point of contact, these studios have offices in the United States: Broadcast2World (Piscataway, New Jersey), Epipheo (Ohio), Yum Yum Videos (Miami), Creamy Animation (Vancouver, Washington), BluBlu Studios (Chicago), Demo Duck (Chicago), IdeaRocket (New York), Explainify (Fayetteville, Arkansas), Content Beta (Sunnyvale, California), Thinkmojo (San Francisco), BuzzFlick (Houston) and Sandwich Video (Los Angeles). Kasra Design also lists a US office.
How to choose between explainer video companies
Start with what the video has to do, then match it to the studio built for that job. Most buyers shortlist three to five studios, watch samples in the style they want, and compare what each quote includes.
Where to find explainer video creators with storytelling expertise
Story is the part of an explainer you can't fix later in animation. These are the places that keep producing story-led work:
Specialist explainer studios write, storyboard and animate under one roof, so the story is designed before the first frame. On this list, Broadcast2World, Epipheo, Explainify and Demo Duck lead with story.
Review directories like Clutch. Client reviews that mention the script and the message tell you more than a showreel.
Portfolio platforms like Vimeo and Behance, for independent directors and small teams whose storyboards you can see.
How Broadcast2World approaches story
Our explainers are built on the Why-First Framework. The script opens with something your buyer already believes, names the one pain they live with, shows the same scene transformed, and only then brings in your product. It's how we've made 5,000+ videos for B2B teams since 2009.
How to spot a real storyteller in five minutes
Watch the first 5 seconds. A good opener starts from a moment your buyer recognises.
Count the problems. One clear pain lands harder than a list of features.
Mute it. If the visuals still carry the message, the story was designed for the screen.
Look for a turn. The best explainers show the same world before and after.
Notice their first questions. Storytellers ask about your buyer before they ask about your software.
What to send a studio for an accurate quote
The more a studio knows up front, the closer the first quote is to the final one. These are the things that made the biggest difference on our own projects.
The deck your sales team already uses
Sponsorium sent us the deck their team shares after product demos. It became the source material for a 60-second script, so the video spoke the same language as their sales calls.
Two or three videos you like
A sample shows style faster than any description. Vanderbilt University picked our SUSE film as their style reference for a Giving Day video because of its character motion.
Every version you will need
Main length, 15 and 30 second cuts, and languages. For Aiven's Inkless launch the short cuts were planned in from day one.
Your launch date
A fixed date changes the plan. Early drafts can be shared so reviewers have time before the deadline.
Who signs off
Name the people who approve the script and storyboard, so feedback arrives in one round.
Footage or screens you already have
Agency partners often send interview or product footage and ask for motion graphics on top, which changes both cost and timeline.
Questions to ask before you hire
Is scriptwriting included, and who writes the script?
Can you show work for a product as complex as ours?
What does the price include: storyboard, voiceover, music and revisions?
How many review rounds happen at each stage?
Can we hear more than one voiceover artist before we choose?
Will you cut 15 and 30 second versions for ads and social?
Do we get the source files at the end?
From our own projects
Two of these questions come straight from our clients. Corridor's team edited the script for their Episode IQ video to fill a gap in the story, then asked to hear two voiceover artists read the final script before picking one. For Aiven's Inkless launch, the 15 and 30 second cuts were planned in from the start, so they were ready on launch day.

What are the best explainer video companies in 2026?
The best explainer video companies in 2026 include Broadcast2World, Epipheo, What a Story, Yum Yum Videos, Kasra Design, Creamy Animation, Motion The Agency, BluBlu Studios, Giant Ant, IdeaRocket, Explainify, Content Beta, Vidico, Demo Duck, Thinkmojo, Wyzowl, MotionGility, BuzzFlick and Sandwich Video. Broadcast2World starts at $2,400 for a 60-second custom animated explainer for B2B tech and SaaS teams. The right pick depends on your budget, your product and the style you want.
How much does an animated explainer video cost?
Published starting prices on this list run from $1,850 (BuzzFlick) to $20,000 and up (Demo Duck), with premium studios quoting per project. Broadcast2World starts at $2,400 for 60 seconds and about $4,500 for a 90-second Premium video, with the script, storyboard, voiceover and animation included. Style, length and the studio's hourly rate drive the final price.
Which explainer video companies include scriptwriting?
Broadcast2World, Epipheo, Explainify, IdeaRocket, MotionGility, Wyzowl and BuzzFlick all include scriptwriting as part of the service. Always confirm the script is inside the quoted price, because a studio that writes and animates under one roof keeps the message consistent from first draft to final frame.
Which explainer video companies specialise in SaaS?
Broadcast2World, What a Story, Vidico, Content Beta, Thinkmojo, Motion The Agency and MotionGility all focus on SaaS and tech products. Content Beta runs a subscription model for teams that need many videos, Thinkmojo maps videos across the customer journey, and Broadcast2World makes story-led explainers for B2B tech from $2,400.

Broadcast2World (New Jersey), Epipheo (Ohio), Yum Yum Videos (Miami), Creamy Animation (Washington), BluBlu Studios and Demo Duck (Chicago), IdeaRocket (New York), Explainify (Arkansas), Content Beta and Thinkmojo (California), BuzzFlick (Houston) and Sandwich Video (Los Angeles) all have US offices.
How long does it take to make an explainer video?
Most studios on this list deliver in 4 to 8 weeks. Motion The Agency can turn work around in 1 to 2 weeks, while premium studios like BluBlu Studios and Demo Duck take about 8 to 10 weeks. Broadcast2World delivers in 4 to 6 weeks, with a rush option in 2 to 3 weeks.
Should I use an AI video tool or hire a studio?
AI tools are quick for simple internal clips and early drafts. A studio adds the script, the story and custom animation built around your audience, which matters most when a video carries a launch or a sales message. Many studios, Broadcast2World included, use AI inside production to speed up steps, while people write the script and direct the animation.
Can an explainer video be made in other languages?
Yes. For Sponsorium's PerforMind video, Broadcast2World wrote the 60-second script with their team and scoped French, German and Portuguese subtitles and voiceover. Kasra Design also produces videos in several languages.
Which explainer video companies are best for startups?
If your budget is under $5,000, start with Broadcast2World (from $2,400), BuzzFlick (from $1,850), Wyzowl (from $2,700) and MotionGility. Broadcast2World suits B2B tech and SaaS startups that want a story-led custom explainer with the script, storyboard and voiceover included.
What is the difference between 2D and 3D explainer video companies?
Most explainer videos are made in 2D or motion graphics, which suit software, services and abstract ideas. 3D is used when a physical product needs to be shown from every angle. Broadcast2World works in motion graphics and can add 3D moments inside a video. For fully 3D product films, see our list of 3D product animation companies.
What is the difference between explainer video agencies and animation companies?
Explainer video agencies usually start with strategy: the message, the audience and the script, then the animation. Animation companies often work from a script and storyboard you already have. If your product is complex or your buying cycle is long, a studio that writes the script is usually the better fit. If your script is locked, an animation company can produce it efficiently.
Is it a red flag when explainer video companies do not publish prices?
No. Many established studios quote per project because scope varies a lot from one video to the next. Published prices help you budget early. With quote-based studios, ask for a price range on the first call and a written breakdown of what is included.
How can I tell if a studio's work is custom?
Watch several samples in a row. Custom work changes characters, colour and layout from client to client, while template work repeats the same scenes. Ask who illustrates the frames and whether the storyboard is drawn for your script.
What should happen on the first call with a studio?
A good first call is mostly questions about your audience, what they already believe and what the video needs them to do next. You should leave with a suggested style, length and timeline and a price range. At Broadcast2World, a fixed-price quote follows within 24 hours.
Which is cheaper, Wyzowl or Yum Yum Videos?
Wyzowl publishes prices from $2,700 per video, while Yum Yum Videos typically runs $6,000 to $15,000 per minute, so Wyzowl is usually the cheaper of the two. Broadcast2World starts at $2,400 for a 60-second custom explainer.
How does Broadcast2World compare with Wyzowl?
Both publish fixed starting prices: $2,400 for Broadcast2World and $2,700 for Wyzowl. Broadcast2World suits B2B tech and SaaS teams that want a story-led custom explainer, with a US office and a 2 to 3 week rush option. Wyzowl suits teams that value unlimited revisions on a fixed price.
Where can I find animated explainer video creators with storytelling expertise?
Start with specialist explainer studios that write and animate under one roof, such as Broadcast2World, Epipheo, Explainify and Demo Duck. Then check Clutch reviews that mention the script, and Vimeo or Behance for independent directors.
