Questions

Does CaliberVisual post to social media for me?

No. It exports files and you upload them yourself. Minta posts automatically, which is the better fit if that is what you need.

Does CaliberVisual work with Shopify?

Can I run the exports as paid ads?

Yes. Exports are ordinary MP4 and GIF files, and they are yours to run as paid media.

Which costs less, Minta or CaliberVisual?

Minta starts lower, at US$5 a month. Its Pro plan is US$35 a month. CaliberVisual Pro is $29 a month.
