StoryShort AI faceless videos, $18K MRR: channels on a schedule

What it actually sells

StoryShort turns ideas into finished short-form videos and runs whole faceless channels on a schedule. Its site says: “StoryShort writes the script, plans every scene, makes the images and clips, and adds the voice.”

Users can repurpose a video while keeping its topic, style, and characters. They can edit individual shots through natural-language instructions, select or clone voices, add word-level captions, and schedule videos for TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram.

How it charges

The site lists a Starter plan at $23/mo or $279 billed yearly. It also displays pricing on its website, alongside links for its Blog, Contact page, and Affiliate Program.

Where it sits in the data

StoryShort's $18K MRR is higher than 96% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Social Media” category (541 projects) it is higher than 96% (category median $152). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, demand would come from creators producing short-form videos who want one workflow for scripts, scenes, media, voices, captions, editing, repurpose, and publishing. Distribution would need a clear route to that creator audience through content, affiliates, and direct outreach.

The hard parts would include reliable generation, voice controls, caption timing, platform publishing, repurpose consistency, and support load. Regulation would also matter where cloned voices, generated media, or platform rules are involved, while AI content tools and social media software bring competition.

Verdict: Hard to replicate.

One thing to take from it

The product presents connected production tasks as one workflow: scripts, scenes, images, clips, voices, captions, editing, repurpose, scheduling, and publishing. That lesson is about product packaging as much as the individual features.
