What makes ngram different?
What ngram does better
Built from your real assets
ngram uses your actual screen recordings, docs, and images - not stock footage. The result looks like your product and brand, not a generic stock video that could belong to anyone.
AI editing for real recordings
ngram auto-cuts filler words, adds smart zoom, cursor emphasis, and motion graphics to your screen recordings. Lumen5 doesn't edit recordings - it builds videos from stock clips.
Context-aware generation
Tell ngram your audience, goal, and channel. It adapts structure, pacing, and tone automatically. Lumen5 produces template-based output regardless of audience or destination.
Brand kit included at base price
ngram includes brand kits in its base plan. Lumen5 locks brand kits behind the Professional plan at $199/month - over 11x ngram's price.
What Lumen5 does better
Blog-to-video in one click
Paste a blog post URL and Lumen5 generates a video with matched stock visuals automatically. If you have blog content and want fast video repurposing, this one-click workflow is hard to beat.
Massive stock media library
Access up to 500 million stock photos, video clips, and music tracks. If you need generic B-roll and background footage, Lumen5's library is one of the largest in the market.
Simpler for non-technical users
Lumen5's drag-and-drop builder with stock footage is approachable for anyone. No screen recordings or assets needed - just text and stock clips. Lower barrier to entry for basic marketing videos.
