Overview of the top 10 explanatory film agencies
Here you will find the top 10 explainer video agencies from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Explain it simple
Explain it simple originally had the company name Origin Animation, but was then re-founded in 2019 and given the new name explain it simple. This explainer video agency is characterized by its years of experience and has already produced 1000s of explainer videos in the last 15 years. You can get all kinds of explainer film styles, such as whiteboard, color, isometric, 3D and handmade. Explain it simple also produces your films in all the languages you need and has already implemented many international explanatory film productions. The great thing about this agency is that you can get a professional explainer video from 1,500 euros, but also handmade explainer videos from 3,000 euros. After the production of the explainer video, you will be helped to position your explainer video on your website, social media channels, online marketing channels, etc. in the best possible way.
Another detail that speaks for the explanatory film agency explain it simple is that it founded a new parent company in 2022 with the name: “Company 4 You & Me – Building a successful company step by step”. Here you will receive the necessary knowledge on how to build a successful company through a book, e-learning and coaching programs. You will also receive all the digital services you need to build your business. Explain it simple proves that it looks far beyond the realm of explanatory films and strives to achieve the best possible results for you as a customer through interdisciplinary know-how.
Youknow
The explainer video agency Youknow focuses on three main styles: handmade, iconmade and animade. Handmade videos are explanatory films in a layering trick style, in which a visible hand pushes or moves the individual graphics into the picture – hence the name “handmade”. Iconmade is a simple flat style with minimalist icons. Animade videos are full animations in a friendly comic style. The explanatory videos cost between 4000 and 6000 euros per minute. On request, Youknow can also produce a completely unique style with an individual style guide for your company. They also offer the option of producing interactive explainer videos. These explanatory videos are then equipped with quiz questions, drag-and-drop segments or other interaction options, for example.
Mynd
Mynd is an all-round provider and produces explainer videos, promotional videos, product videos, recruiting videos, etc. The company has a very large selection of explanatory videos, such as animated explanatory videos, flat or icon style. But you can also get other individual styles from Mynd. The costs range between 4000 and 7000 euros per minute. The price includes the entire production: concept, script, illustration, animation and the soundtrack for the explanatory video.
Text draftswoman
At the explanatory film agency textzeichnerin, you won’t get any standard explanatory films from the catalog, but individually designed videos that fit your company perfectly. All common styles are represented and possible here: from whiteboard to flat design, screencast and live-action film productions are also possible on request. The prices are in the upper price segment compared to other explanatory film agencies.
Simpleshow
Simpleshow is one of the leading explanatory film agencies. You can choose from a total of four different explanatory film formats: simpleshow hand, simpleshow motion, simpleshow premium and the interactive format. Another great thing about simpleshow is the whole package. For example, you can produce your explanatory films yourself, as the explanatory film engine is made available to you on request. Simpleshow is therefore a really comprehensive provider where you are sure to find the right solution for your company.
AHA! videos
The range of possible animation styles is very wide at AHA!Videos: from classic animated explanatory films to elaborate isometric and 3D animations, almost anything is possible. A 2-minute explanatory video costs around 7000 euros at AHA!Videos, depending on what you want in detail.
AniManual
The explanatory film agency AniManual is committed to individuality and creative diversity. In an extensive showreel, the agency shows you which explanatory films are available to you. On request, there is also an individual style guide for the explanatory video, which you can use for future explanatory film productions.
How2
From the creation of your explainer video to marketing, you get everything from a single source here. How2 distributes your explainer video on social media, for example, and creates a suitable online marketing concept for you and then implements it for you. If you are pursuing a holistic strategy with your explainer video, how2 is the right partner for you.
Moin Motion
Moin Motion produces explanatory films, commercials and product animations for you. When producing your explanatory video, the Moin Motion team takes care of the concept, design, production, animation and soundtrack. The agency has a particular soft spot for minimalist 2D and 3D animations.
Young master
The explanatory film agency Junge meister offers you three different explanatory film formats: SMART, CORPORATE and PREMIUM. The great thing is that the provider provides the most important illustrations as image files for each explanatory video so that you can also use the figures and icons from your explanatory film on your website, social media and online marketing.
