Secrets AI Expands Video Generation and Takes the Top Spot in Our Video Ranking
March 2026: Secrets AI expanded its video generation with longer clips and a scene mode, per MariaVibe and CompanionGuide. For video-first users, it's our pick.
Secrets AI rolled out expanded video generation in March 2026, according to the MariaVibe 2026 review and CompanionGuide’s Secrets profile. Both describe longer clips, more scenario variety, and what the company calls “cinematic scene mode”, which produces short narrative clips that tie into the ongoing chat. It’s the update behind Secrets’ place at the top of our video ranking.
Until now, video in companion apps has mostly meant short looping clips that work as “living stills”, where the character blinks, shifts pose, maybe says a word. Useful but limited. As the two reviews describe it, the March update pushes Secrets into short-narrative territory: 10 to 20 second clips with distinct beats and scenario framing, and in cinematic scene mode, a framing that puts the user in the scene as a character.
Why this matters competitively
Video is the hardest output for a companion app to get right. It’s computationally expensive, it exposes consistency flaws (character identity drift across frames, physically impossible motion, uncanny facial expressions) in ways that static images hide, and it’s the thing users notice most when it works or doesn’t work. Apps that push on video tend to run into the same wall. Output that looks great once can be frustrating the tenth time, because quality varies a lot from one generation to the next.
Secrets’ bet is consistency rather than more variety. The pitch is video generated in the context of an ongoing chat and kept close to the character’s reference images, aimed at the “it’s a different person” feel that earlier video attempts from other apps had. How well that holds up depends on the scenario and the prompt, so judge it on your own scenarios before committing to an annual plan.
That pitch, clips tied to the chat and the scenario engine instead of generated from scratch, is why Secrets sits first in our video-specific ranking.
The pricing reality
Update, 3 November 2026: Premium is now $9.17/month on yearly billing ($109.99) or $19.99/month on monthly, per Secrets’ store. Video generation consumes the same “Moments” credit pool that image generation uses, and video costs more per generation than images. Per Secrets’ store on 3 November 2026, Premium includes 8,000 Moments a month, a significant but finite amount of video; heavy video users can burn through it before month-end. Ultimate tops out at up to 15,000 Moments a month. There’s no separate video-only tier, which is either a simplification the company benefits from or a missed opportunity depending on how you look at it.
What the competition does now
Here’s where the main rivals stand on video:
Candy.ai lists 18+ video generation on its premium plan, but chat and images remain the center of its product.
DreamGF has the most granular character builder and strong image output, but its feature set is built around images, not video.
Muah.ai is the uncensored-plus-voice specialist. It now markets “AI Video” on its site, but voice is still its core, with real-time calls on the ULTRA VIP tier.
The newer and smaller apps such as Lovescape, Xtease, and MyLovely all advertise short video clips, and Nectar takes a different route with video calls. A feature list says nothing about output quality, so treat any app’s video claim as something to check on its free tier.
For readers
If video is what you want from a companion app, Secrets is the pick.
