Before you start

You need an email address you can access and a card for the $1 trial. Create your account and you land straight on the trial checkout.

Start the trial to open the app

The app opens once your $1 trial starts (3 days, then your plan), on a plan here or on the AI Influencer package on avatarfactory.io/start ($1 today, then $48 a month, cancel anytime). Until then every page in the app takes you to the trial checkout.

  • Your work is kept. If you made an avatar or a draft before, it is saved and shows up as soon as your trial starts.
  • If a renewal payment fails, the app takes you to Billing, where you update your card to keep going.
  • If your plan ends, the app takes you back to the checkout to start again.
  • The $1 trial is once per person. If you already had a trial, on any plan or on the AI Influencer package, the plans page and the checkout show the full price, and your plan starts the day you pay. The same email with dots or a +tag counts as the same person.

Copy Video can cast our house co-hosts, so you can build a full copy without an avatar of your own. The regular wizard needs one of your own avatars, and your first one is free to make.

Step 1: Create your account

  1. Go to app.avatarfactory.io/register.
  2. Pick how to sign up. Continue with Google and Continue with Meta sign you in with one click. Or type your email and click Continue with email.
  3. If you used email, the next page asks for your name and a password. Enter the name you want shown on your dashboard (for example, Sarah Johnson), set a password of at least 6 characters, and click Create account →.

If you see “Looks like you already have an account. Sign in below.”, you have signed up before. Use the sign-in form on the same page, or Forgot Password? to reset it. See Sign in, email and password.

Step 2: Four quick questions

Four screens, one question each, and every one has a Skip option:

  1. Do you already have an AI influencer? Pick “I already have an AI influencer / avatar” or “It’s my first AI influencer / avatar”. If you already have one, you can paste a link to it.
  2. What niche are you building in? Pick a tile. This becomes your default category across the app (templates, followed accounts, Viral Radar). The 18+ niche asks you to confirm your age first.
  3. How did you hear about us? Pick a source. An optional follow-up asks that source its own question (for example, what you searched for on Google, or what you asked ChatGPT). Click Continue →.
  4. What are you looking for? Pick one of five goals: promote my physical or e-commerce product, promote my app, promote digital products, affiliate marketing, or other. After you pick, you can add a short note and a link to what you are promoting. Both are optional. Click Finish Setup →.

Step 3: Pick a plan (when you are ready)

The Pick a plan page shows three cards: Starter, Creator and Influencer. Every plan starts with the same 1 dollar three-day trial, so choose the plan you want to be on once you are making videos.

PlanMonthlyYearly (per month)AvatarsMonthly credits
Starter$39$311325
Creator$99$793790
Influencer$249$199Unlimited2,490

Those are the numbers as of the last review of this article. The current plan prices are always on the pricing page and at checkout.

  1. Use the Monthly / Annual toggle at the top. Annual saves 20 percent.
  2. Click Start Trial for $1 on the card you want.

Not sure? Creator is the plan most creators end up on: three avatars, HD images, auto-publishing and trending intel. Starter is for testing with one avatar and one channel. The full comparison is in What each plan includes.

Step 4: Add your card

The Set up payment page has two parts: Payment Method and Order Summary.

  1. Enter your card in the secure form. AvatarFactory never sees or stores your card details.
  2. Check the plan and the billing interval in the summary. Due Today shows $1.
  3. Have a promo code? Click Promo code?, paste it, and click Apply. A partner code works the same way through Have a partner code? on the plan page.
  4. Click Start 3-Day Trial for $1.

The 15 trial credits are there to build your avatar, the scenes and images along the way, and your trial video.

Your trial renders one video. Build it in any wizard: pick a template, pick your avatar, write or paste a script, and build your shots, then click Generate. Any length works as long as the trial credits cover it. A render that fails does not use up your trial video. After that one video, the line beside Generate reads “Your trial includes one video. Upgrade to keep generating.” and the next Generate click opens the upgrade prompt. Keep Editing leaves your work exactly as it is while you decide. The video wizard explained walks the steps.

Warning: If you see “Your card could not be charged. Please try again.”, the card was declined by your bank. Try another card, or contact your bank and try again. If you see “Card confirmed but we could not start your trial. Contact support.”, write to Support@AvatarFactory.IO with your account email and we will finish it on our side.

What happens next

A new account lands on the trial checkout first. Once the trial starts you answer four quick questions and land in the app. You can change your plan any time from Billing in your account menu. Your first avatar walks you through the avatar.

If you built your avatar on avatarfactory.io/start, the first screen after your $1 payment asks How will Sarah make money? (your influencer’s name): Sell a digital product, Sell real products or Get paid to recommend things (or Not sure? We’ll pick for you., which picks a digital product). Your welcome email follows your answer.

If you paid there and you picked Sell a digital product or Sell real products as the way to make money, a ready Shopify store comes first: you claim it on Shopify and we set it up for you, or you click Skip for now. Claim your Shopify store walks every step. Then you answer one question, How did you hear about us? (Continue → or Skip), and land straight on your avatar’s Face step, where your three variations are already being made from the face and outfit you picked. The Voice step after it plays the voice you picked as Your pick from the funnel and makes three previews from it on its own, with the first one already selected.

If you picked a plan before the questions, you land on Getting Started instead, a checklist with three steps: Create Avatar, Generate your first video, and Add Accounts in your niche.

If you told us you already have an avatar, the checklist points you at Import your avatar instead, so you can bring your own face. See Import your own face.

Frequently asked questions

What does the trial include? +
The 1 dollar three-day trial comes with 15 credits on the plan you picked, enough to build one avatar with its voice and reference pack. Viral Reels is open on every trial; Outperformers needs Creator. The trial also renders one video, from any wizard, at any length the trial credits cover. The second video asks you to upgrade.
Can I use the video wizard on the trial? +
Yes, all of it. Pick a template, your avatar, a script and your shots, then click Generate to render your trial video. After that one video, the line beside Generate reads "Your trial includes one video. Upgrade to keep generating." and the next click opens the upgrade prompt, with your draft kept as it is.
Can I use the app before I start the trial? +
No. The app opens once your $1 trial starts, on a plan here or on the AI Influencer package on avatarfactory.io/start ($1 today, then $48 a month). Right after you create your account you land on the trial checkout. Anything you built before is saved and shows up as soon as your trial starts.
Can I change my plan later? +
Yes. Every plan starts with the same trial, so pick the one that fits your stage and switch later from your Billing page. Upgrades happen right away and add the credit difference at once, while downgrades are scheduled for the end of your term. Details are in the billing articles.
