Reel Engine is a fully self-hosted AI video generator. Deploy it on your own VPS in minutes — no SaaS middlemen, no subscription traps, no per-video limits.
Every month you're funding someone else's servers, staff, and investors — not your own business.
Publer ~$49/mo, video tools ~$97/mo, AI generation ~$99/mo — that's $200-400/mo burning before you make a dollar.
Most plans cap you at 30-50 videos/month. Scale your business and suddenly you're paying $300+ just to make more content.
The tool, your data, your workflows — all locked inside someone else's platform. Price hike? Too bad. Shutdown? You start over.
A complete AI video generation system that runs on your own server.
Paste a topic, get a fully rendered video with AI voiceover, captions, and background footage.
Connect your own YouTube, Facebook, Instagram — posts automatically after generation.
Set topics, schedule, and let it run 24/7. Wake up to videos already posted.
Your server, your data, your brand. Nobody has access but you.
Enter your server details in the portal. We SSH in and install everything automatically.
Bottleneck is your API costs — typically $15-25/month for 50+ videos.
Your domain, your colors, your brand. No "Powered by" watermarks.
Bring your own OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Pexels keys. You control the costs.
Track videos generated, posting status, logs, and system health.
Same output. A fraction of the cost. You keep the profit.
