# Best Explainer Video Software: Comparison Guide for Business Teams

Posted by [Louise Greaves](https://blog.videoscribe.co/author/louise-greaves) on September 24, 2025

## Why explainer videos matter for business communication

Ever tried explaining a complex product feature in an email? Or watched someone's eyes glaze over during your carefully crafted PowerPoint presentation? You're not alone.

The average office worker receives *121 emails per day* and sits through countless meetings. Your brilliant ideas are competing with tidal wave of noise. That’s where explainer videos step in, they cut through the noice and make your message clear, simple and memorable.

Here's the kicker: [viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch it in a video](https://www.insivia.com/28-video-stats-2017/) compared to just 10% when reading text. Your carefully written report? People remember one-tenth of it. Your explainer video? Nearly everything sticks.

## What makes great explainer video software?

Not all video creation tools are created equal. After testing dozens of platforms (and drinking way too much coffee in the process), here's what separates the winners from the time-wasters:

### User-friendly interface

If you need a PhD in design to create a simple video, that's a hard pass. The best software gets you from idea to video faster than you can say "quarterly review."

### Template variety and customization

Cookie-cutter videos scream "I used a template!" Great software offers templates as starting points, not straightjackets. You want flexibility to match your brand's personality.

### Export options and quality

Nothing's worse than creating a masterpiece only to export it as a pixelated mess. Look for HD options and multiple format support.

### Pricing and scalability

Your needs today might be different from next year. Smart platforms grow with you without breaking the bank.

 

## Top explainer video software platforms (2025)

### VideoScribe: Best for whiteboard animation

VideoScribe gives your message that irresistible *“being drawn right before your eyes”* feel. It’s more than just cool to watch, it actually works! Studies show whiteboard animations can boost viewer retention by up to 15% compared to standard videos. 🙌✏️

## VideoScribe deep dive: Why it leads in business applications

Let me tell you a story. Sarah from HR was drowning in onboarding materials. New hires would nod politely through her presentations, then ask the same questions weeks later. Sound familiar?

She tried VideoScribe. Within 30 minutes (yes, really), she'd created a company culture video that new hires actually watched. 

The secret? VideoScribe's hand-drawn animation style taps into how our brains process information. We're hardwired to pay attention when someone's drawing something for us. It's like having a personal teacher sketching ideas on a whiteboard just for you.

**The science backs this up:** The drawing hand creates anticipation. Your brain wants to see what comes next. This psychological hook keeps viewers engaged from start to finish.

Marketing teams report similar wins. Tom's software company saw demo video completion rates jump from 42% to 87% after switching to whiteboard style. [84% of people have been convinced to buy after watching a brand's video](https://www.wyzowl.com/video-marketing-statistics/). Those aren't just numbers—that's revenue.

## Industry-specific use cases

### Marketing: Product demos and social media content

Forget static screenshots. Show your product in action with animated demos. Explain complex features without the complexity. [Companies using video enjoy 41% more web traffic](https://www.aberdeen.com/) from search.

### HR: Onboarding and training videos

Transform your employee handbook from doorstop to must-watch content. Cover policies, procedures, and culture in minutes instead of hours.

### Sales: Pitch decks and customer testimonials

Stand out in crowded inboxes with video proposals. Turn customer success stories into compelling narratives that close deals.

### Education: Course content and tutorials

Break down complex concepts into digestible chunks. Perfect for e-learning platforms and professional development programs.

## Getting started: Your first explainer video

Ready to create your first masterpiece? Here's your roadmap:

### Planning your message

Start with one clear goal. What's the ONE thing viewers should remember? Build everything around that core message. Keep it under 2 minutes—attention spans aren't what they used to be.

### Choosing the right style

Match style to message. Whiteboard for education. Characters for scenarios. Motion graphics for data. Your content dictates your canvas.

### Best practices for scripting

Write like you talk. Read your script aloud. If it sounds like a robot wrote it, start over. Use simple words. Short sentences work. [95% of people have watched an explainer video](https://www.wyzowl.com/video-marketing-statistics/) to learn about products—make yours worth their time. 

💡 Pro tip: With VideoScribe's [AI script generator](https://www.videoscribe.co/ai-generation), you don't even have to write it yourself.

Remember, perfect is the enemy of done. Your first video won't win an Oscar, and that's okay. It just needs to communicate clearly and engage your audience.

The businesses winning today aren't just telling their stories—they're showing them. With the right [explainer video software](https://www.videoscribe.co/en/explainer-video/), you can transform complex ideas into compelling narratives that stick.
