Does StoryShort post to Instagram?
No. As of July 2026, StoryShort auto-posts to TikTok and YouTube only - Instagram (and Facebook) Reels are not connected, a gap confirmed by its own API documentation and independent reviews. Aicut posts to all three, including Instagram Reels.
For a faceless channel strategy that leans on Reels, this is the deciding difference: with StoryShort you would post to Instagram by hand, which is the manual step automation is supposed to remove.
Can StoryShort run on a daily schedule like aicut?
Yes. StoryShort's FAQ says you can set up Series that auto-generate and auto-publish videos on a daily schedule to TikTok and YouTube. Aicut's automation campaigns do the same - generate, render, and post on a schedule - and also post to Instagram.
How do aicut and StoryShort compare on price?
On yearly billing StoryShort starts at $23/month for Starter ($279/year, about 25 to 40 short videos a month), scaling to $117/month for Ultra (about 330 to 500). Aicut's Creator plan is $19.99/month and the Automate plan with autopilot is $39.99/month; both tools also have a free option.

StoryShort's per-plan video counts are higher, but credits per video vary by format (8-20 for a short with AI images, 270+ for a talking avatar). StoryShort prices are its yearly-billing rates, checked on storyshort.ai/pricing on 2026-09-24; re-check before relying on figures.
What is StoryShort better at?
If you only post to TikTok and YouTube, StoryShort offers high raw video volume per plan (up to 500/month on Ultra) and is purpose-built for story content. For sheer output in those two channels, its top tiers push more videos than aicut's token allotment.
Which should you choose?
Choose aicut if you want Instagram in the mix alongside daily scheduling, and a full editor. Choose StoryShort if you post only to TikTok and YouTube and want the highest per-plan video count for story content.
