Algo
Algo builds custom video editing pipelines for teams that need motion graphics driven by live data, not one-off clips cut by hand. The Turin-based studio designs templates in After Effects, Lottie, or Cavalry, then hosts them on a cloud platform where your data triggers rendering without manual timeline work. Each client gets a tailored project dashboard and optional API access once the eight-step creative and technical setup is complete.
Where most video editors stop at a single export, Algo is built for campaigns that repeat at scale: a unique wrap video per wallet user, a daily chart that updates when markets move, or a city-specific clip pulled from an API call. You get a managed creative setup (about two months on average) rather than a self-serve SaaS template library, which is the trade-off if you want templates wired to your own data schema and delivery stack.
Marketing teams, publishers, fintech apps, and sports leagues use Algo's dashboard or API to launch, filter, and publish videos. Outputs ship as MP4, GIF, or Lottie JSON, with optional auto-posting to Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, and cloud storage. The Figma plugin path lets in-house design teams edit motion systems inside familiar files after the studio hands off the template library.
Algo runs After Effects in Microsoft Azure and has rendered work for Bloomberg, The New York Times, Google, Johns Hopkins University, and Aave. Client projects span autonomous election trackers, podcast audiograms, and in-app personalized finance animations.
Builds custom data-driven templates in After Effects, Lottie, or Cavalry, then renders through a cloud After Effects engine
Scales from 5 videos per month to 200 million with server-side rendering, batch API calls, and on-demand triggers
Average render time of 30 seconds for a 30-second video file; Lottie customization completes in 0.012 seconds
Outputs responsive 16:9, 1:1, 4:5, and 9:16 videos from a single engineered template
Figma plugin subscription is $300 per month for unlimited cloud renders after studio setup packages from $16,000
REST API returns a status URL to track customization, rendering, and final MP4 or Lottie delivery
Auto-posts finished videos to Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, Slack, AWS S3, Azure Storage, and FTP
Handles data-driven video from daily recaps to 200 million renders per month with cloud After Effects.
Offers both a no-code dashboard and a REST API with status tracking and multi-format delivery.
Portfolio includes Bloomberg, The New York Times, Google, and Johns Hopkins with 32 listed industry awards.
Not self-serve; every production project requires a custom two-month setup with the Algo studio team.
Full platform and API pricing needs a custom quote; only the Figma plugin path publishes fixed dollar amounts.
Figma plugin production requires $16,000 to $24,000 upfront setup before the $300 monthly subscription begins.
Can I sign up and start using an Algo template on my own?
Algo builds tailor-made templates for each client rather than offering one-size-fits-all self-serve accounts. You can try demo animations in free Figma community files at app.algo.tv/demos, but production projects start with a scoped creative and technical setup with the Algo team.
How long does it take to set up an Algo project?
Algo states that average project setup takes about two months, split between a roughly one-month creative phase and a one-month technical phase. After go-live, clients typically run the template for one to three years.
How does Algo pricing work?
Algo quotes a one-time setup fee plus a recurring monthly cloud fee based on video volume for platform and API projects. The Figma plugin path lists Scale-up setup at $16,000, Enterprise at $24,000, and a $300 per month subscription after handoff.
Does Algo offer an API?
Yes. Algo exposes a programmatic API where you POST JSON payloads, receive a video ID and status URL, and poll until the render completes. The API supports batch rendering, multiple aspect ratios, MP4 or Lottie output, and optional AI steps.
What AI capabilities does Algo support?
Algo embeds AI per project, including GPT-5 article summarization into video scripts, face detection for smart cropping, speech-to-text captions, background removal, diffusion image generation, and AI voiceovers from text input.
What video formats can Algo output?
Algo delivers MP4, GIF, MXF, and other major video formats, plus Lottie JSON with audio for in-app animations without full server rendering. A single API parameter can request reformatted aspect ratios like 16:9, 1:1, or 9:16.
Where can Algo publish finished videos?
Algo can auto-post rendered videos to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Vimeo, Slack, Google Drive, Azure Storage, AWS S3, and FTP seconds after creation.
