The easiest 2D animation software out there.
Great!
PROSI like how easy it is creating an explainer video for my youtube channel.
CONSWell, the animations, and characters are limited.
Reasons for switching to Toonly
Well, powtoon is good but it is very very expensive compared to toonly.

Not very stunning, but Toonly can deliver a decent and personalized explainer video.
I use Toonly whenever the project I am working on requires more character poses for a target niche. Toonly truly delivers flexibility and customization.
PROSThe best part of Toonly is its wide selection of character poses even for a standard version. I also love the lipsync feature which is not available on most animations sofware.
CONSThe characters look very simple, flat and outdated. The software also lags a lot on longer (more than 1 minute) videos which can be time consuming.
Reason for choosing Toonly
Videoscribe is a a whiteboard video creating software. I needed colored animation software.

An average product.
Though the software is easy to use, it lacks the additional and critical features required for creating animated videos. Characters are 2D only.
CONSThere are better softwares in the market though they are slightly pricey.

High Learning Curve and Difficult to Master
Initially, I enjoyed using Toonly. I had great ideas and plans for how I could use the cartoon software in my author/training business. But the more I used it, the more I began to be frustrated with the lack of templates and the gap between what I knew how to do and what I saw the product should be able to do. It was hard to create a product that was not cheap looking, unprofessional, and lacking in style. In order to get an excellent product, too much time was required, but there was no training to help users get that excellent end-product. Most people using the product are trying to start up something, be it a restaurant or some sort of educational training. But the promises of how a Toonly video can help in this start up actually backfire and became detrimental to the start-up because there was no theory-training videos to enable the user to make the product feel and look professional. If it were simply marketed to people trained in design, I wouldn't be here writing this review. I used their sister product Doodly, found out about this, and eagerly bought it as well. I had hoped to include both types in my training videos. In the end, I stopped using both products because it took too much time for the low quality that resulted. Yes, it's that I didn't study design. But it's also because they promoted it to me without giving me the additional tools I needed to make of the videos what I could. To be fair, compared to Doodly, this end product is easier to master.
PROSThe cute videos that can possibly result. It's an amazing idea to be able to animate cartoons to use for business start-ups or education.
CONSThe lack of training in how to create a masterful product as well as the relative lack of template designs to use.

Beginner's Best Choice. Definitely Get the Job Done.
If you get the Enterprise version, which is an upsell option for Toonly, you will have a much more complete set of characters to use. I like Toonly with the Enterprise version. I think you can get the job done in a relatively short period of time (within an hour even for beginners). But as you progress, the editing time will definitely be much shorter as you can reuse many assets from scene to scene. Also, the lipsync function is absolutely great...!!
PROSI recently tried Toonly, an animation creator, and found it to be very easy to use. It had a great user interface and the tutorials were extremely helpful when it came to creating animations. I was able to make some really cool animations with minimal effort. The library of characters and templates makes it easy to customize videos for any project. Overall I am really impressed with the quality of the animations that I created using Toonly and would definitely recommend it.
CONSIf the development team can more "choice of action" for every character, that would be great.

Toonly is a great tool for small business and Individuals who want a animation presentation
Anyone with a basic knowledge of editing can create their own animated presentation, also its the only tool in this category that I found for a one-time payment. The support is great and the team tries to improve the software with updates every few weeks. I using it to create a marketing videos for my business and also lessons videos for my digital course It is very useful and gives a low budget solution.
CONSThere is a nice selection of animations for the characters but not all the characters get all of them, and if you are interested in using a particular character it may not have the animation you need. Because all creators use the same characters, it may be not unique if they will consider to add a character creation tool it can be great. Editing the sound on the timeline may feel uncomfortable and inflexible.

Basic 2D Character Animations
A fine tool for animation video projects requiring only 2D character animation. Access to time line functionality makes simple animation projects easier than in PowerPoint. Also fun to lip sync characters with a spoken script.
CONSThe learning curve can be a little steep for first time users and the supplied tutorials are very basic. Would love to see far more advanced tutorials to take advantage of all that Toonly has to offer.

Good software to make 2D explainer videos
When we want to make 2D explainer videos, Toonly is definitely our best tool for them.
PROSToonly is so far the best program to make animated explainer videos, with it's price. It is quite easy to use, there is quite a lot ready made backgrounds and learning curve is not too big. Price is right comparing what you get. Lip-sync is very good.
CONSThere could always be more different characters and items, or possibility to buy more personalized ones. There could be more ready made 'templates' or 'stories' which we could use immediately (just change texts and another small things) and we would also learn from them.

Si quiere una animación de Negocios
El producto es genial para la creación de videos de todo lo que quieras explicar de una manera sencilla y que sea de interesante para tu público objetivo.
PROS- La facilidad de crear videos- Algunas funcionalidades que permiten la creación de videos animados mucho rápido.- Es genial para crear esos videos únicos de Negocios, se ven muy profesionales y sin un conocimiento avanzado de animación.- El precio, si encuentras una oferta puedes verlo con pago único- Las diferentes opciones de incluir imágenes a color en su galerÃa de fondos.
CONS- Que no esté en otro idioma aparte de Inglés- Los tiempos por escena están muy limitados, cosa que agregarÃa más tiempo o posibilidades entre escena.- La GalerÃa de imágenes le falta un poco más de contenido, deberÃa disponer de una biblioteca mayor.

An impressive 2D animation software for my explainer videos!
Toonly is just one of the best 2D video software you can find online! I own several different video software and among them, I have Doodly as a doodle software and Toonly as a 2D animation software both from Bryxen! I was looking online for video creating software and I tried many of them and eventually, I kept only the ones I truly found useful and with a great team behind them! I have Toonly and I love it! I never had even one thought to ask for a refund because it is what I need. I advise everyone who comes across Toonly just to try it 30 days risk-free (is what I did until I found the good software I needed and the ones I loved I kept) so don't just believe me, go and try it 100% risk-free! They do refund you 100% of your investment if you don't like it, but you WILL! I have Enterprise Membership for both Doodly and Toonly! Love it! It is a 5 Star! They constantly work on improvement and periodically release new updates! Thank you Toonly!
PROSI like the ease I can animate the characters, props and all elements inside the software. I like the pre-made scenes that I can build my scenes on. I like the multitude of actions that the characters have. I like the fact that it is a drag & drop software and I like the fact that it is super intuitive.
CONSI really do like everything about Toonly, I really don't find anything to dislike!

Animación sin ser diseñador
Es un muy buen programa para crear videos animados, simples pero efectivos para la educación o marketing.
PROSToonly es una muy buena opción si no tienes mucho presupuesto para el marketing digital de tu empresa, sus personajes en diseño 2D, están muy bien hechos y por el precio que tiene el software lo coloca en una muy buena opción de compra. La curva de aprendizaje no es muy difÃcil por lo que en poco tiempo podrás crear muy buenos videos animados. Los personajes además de realizar muchas acciones, también tienen la opción de Lip Sync lo cual es una verdadera ayuda en videos educativos y explicativos. Una nueva actualización, permite personalizar la ropa de los personajes a los de tu marca.
CONSSi bien es un muy buen programa para bolsillos ajustados, la interfaz y el tablero han ido quedando un poco desactualizados y en algunos momentos se ven muy simples. Que no se agregan personajes con mucha frecuencia.

Is agood program, updates missing since change of owners
I think is a great tool, worried what the future whit new owners.
PROSCharacters are its strong point, a lot of characters, a lot of animations, lipsync synchronization, and facial emotions.
CONS- Only one style of characters, if you don't like that style you can´t do anything.- Objects and backgrounds, are limited- Is now Nov 2022, they change owners, and since then there are no updates, wondering if at any moment is not profitable to new users and will die, and they don't trust too much this product as they make they promotional videos with other tools, and when they create toonly videos for they own promotion they just look like random animations appearing anywhere.

Toonly - make videos easily
Toonly has made it easy to make videos to assist with information or marketing purposes for the Company.
PROSToonly enables you to make a video with sound really, really easily. You don't need any experience at all in making videos. You can put music background, as well as record you speaking.
CONSThere isn't the ability to generate subtitles within Toonly based on what is spoken. This feature you need to use another tool to do on top of your Toonly video.
Reason for choosing Toonly
Seemed easier to use.

Quick way to explain ideas
Used as explainer for new business and to create a promo for a screenplay.
PROSAbility to buy one-time license for a fixed fee, plus free updates. Easy to create new comic-book-like stories to explain concepts and ideas. Large selection of scenes, characters and props.
CONSNot able to modify actions of characters beyond those shipped with product.
Reasons for switching to Toonly
Not really a switch as much as an option. I use Toonly as an option to Doodly for simpler tasks and for an easier way to do simple animations.
