Doodly review

Doodly is a desktop program made for marketers, and its page is clear about that: sales videos, Facebook ads and YouTube intros are the main use cases, with teaching and training listed next. You pick a doodle image, drag it to the canvas, and Doodly draws it with a chosen hand; Smart Draw lets you trace your own draw path over uploaded images. Beyond the classic whiteboard there are blackboard, glassboard and green screen modes, which help a channel look less like every other doodle video. The library includes 200 characters in 20 poses each and 20 background scenes, and you can record narration inside the app. Doodly is now sold through Voomly Cloud: the $49 per month plan includes the Standard versions of Doodly, Toonly, Talkia, People Builder and Pyks, plus video hosting. That bundle is good value if you use the other tools and expensive if you only want doodles.
