15 Free AI Video Tools That Actually Work on iPhone Better Than Sora 2

The 15 Free AI Video Tools I Actually Use on My iPhone Instead of Waiting for Sora 2

I’m just going to say it – I gave up on the Sora waitlist months ago.

Instead I spent the last 8 weeks testing every single “free” AI video tool that claims to be good on iPhone. Most were garbage. Some crashed. A few actually made me say “wait… this is better than Sora?”

These are the 15 that survived my camera roll.

1. Luma Dream Machine (Photon) – My Daily Driver

I make 20–30 videos a day with this. 1080p, 25 seconds, no daily limit, no login if you use the mobile web trick. Motion is smoother than anything I’ve seen from Sora previews.

 2. Kling Global – Insane Human Faces

Hands down the best faces and lip sync right now. 10-second clips but I just stitch two together in CapCut and nobody notices.

 3. Pika 2.2 – For When I Want to Be Stupid

The “explode”, “melt”, “inflate” effects are pure chaos and I love it. Perfect for TikTok brain rot.

 4. Runway Gen-4 Turbo – Fastest Generation

10–15 seconds per clip. Literally faster than I can type the next prompt.

 5. Haiper 2.0 – Cleanest Mobile Interface

One tap and it just works. No thinking required.

 6. Minimax Video – Character Consistency King

Same person across 5 different scenes? This one nails it every time.

 7. Viggle 3 – Make Anything Dance

Upload a selfie → make yourself moonwalk. Still blows my mind.

 8. PixVerse V4 – Underrated Gem

Nobody talks about this one but the cinematic presets are actually perfect.

 9. Hedra – Talking Heads That Don’t Creepy

Finally someone fixed the dead eyes problem.

 10. Gen I/O – The New Kid That’s Scary Good

Dropped two weeks ago. Already in my top 3.

 11. Veo 3 via Google Labs Trick

Yes, really. Unlimited 8-second clips through a weird ImageFX loophole.

12. Genmo Mochi – Open Source Beast

Runs locally if you want zero limits forever.

13. InVideo AI – When I Need Full YouTube Videos

10 minutes long, adds stock footage and voiceover automatically.

 14. Kaiber Mobile – Music Reactive Magic

Drop a song → watch it make a music video. Still my party trick.

 15. Leonardo Motion – For When I’m Lazy

One slider and it just animates any image perfectly.
