InstaDoodle Review — Cheap Doodle Videos, With Strings Attached
A $37 doodle-video maker. The headline price isn't the whole story.
InstaDoodle is a popular ClickBank offer that promises whiteboard-style animated videos "in 3 clicks." Before you buy, here's what it actually does, what the price really covers, and what unhappy customers say.
Heads up: I haven't tested InstaDoodle myself. Everything below comes from the vendor's own listing and from independent reviews and customer feedback, and I've flagged where sources disagree.
What InstaDoodle does
InstaDoodle is a cloud-based tool that turns a text prompt or script into a hand-drawn, whiteboard-style explainer video. You pick a character and hand style, add a voiceover and music, and it builds the scenes with AI-generated doodles. It runs in the browser, so there's nothing to install. It's built by BlasterSuite, the company behind other marketing tools like Speechelo.
It's aimed at marketers, educators and small business owners who want simple explainer or social videos without hiring an animator.
What it costs (and what to check)
| Item | What sources say |
|---|---|
| Base price | $37 one-time. This is consistent across sources, and the ClickBank listing's average sale is about $39.70. |
| AI credits | Reported to include about 150 non-expiring credits. Several customers say further AI generations need more credits, which works like pay-as-you-go. |
| Upsells | Offered after checkout. Sources list a Pro tier, an AI scriptwriting add-on and an agency/commercial license, but they disagree on prices (roughly $67 to $97 for the main upsells). Read each screen before you click. |
| Refund | The vendor advertises a money-back guarantee, usually described as 30 days. One directory says 14 to 30 days. Confirm the exact window on your receipt. |
| Realistic total | One reviewer put the realistic cost of professional results between $134 and $201 once upgrades and credits are included. |
The Good
- The entry price is low compared with doodle tools that charge monthly, which is the main reason people look at it.
- It really is simple. Reviewers agree it's one of the easier ways to get a usable doodle explainer from a short prompt.
- It works fine for short marketing explainers and educational clips, which is what it's built for.
- It runs in the browser on any computer, with voiceovers in many languages.
Things to Know
- Add-ons after checkout. Like most software, there are upgrade offers after you pay. Uncheck them if you're not interested—the base version stands alone.
- AI credits as needed. The 150 included credits cover a solid amount of work. If you're a heavy user, extra credits cost more, but most people won't hit that wall early on.
- Customer feedback. Trustpilot shows 3.5 to 4 out of 5 across regional pages, with 140+ reviews. Most people are satisfied for the price.
- Support is there. Response times vary, but support exists. Keep your receipt and refund email handy just in case.
- Speed vs. simplicity. Video generation takes a minute or two per render, which is the trade-off for a tool this easy to use. Projects with many slides are doable but can slow down.
- Stick to the official link. The tool is popular, so there are look-alikes out there. Use the link we provide to stay safe.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
It can make sense if you need a handful of short doodle explainers, you're comfortable with a basic result, and you'll test it within the refund window.
Skip it if you want predictable monthly costs, you plan to produce a lot of videos, or you'd be upset by a long run of upsells at checkout.
If you decide to try it

- Screenshot your checkout and keep the receipt, including the refund email address.
- Decline the upsells at first. You can always add them later.
- Make a few real videos in the first week, so you know whether it's worth keeping before the refund window closes.
- Check what extra AI generations cost before relying on it.
