# Which product should I use?

> Studio, AI Apps, and the Marketplace do different things. This guide helps you pick the right one for what you're trying to make.

AIClips has three products. They overlap a little, but each is best at something specific. Use this guide to choose fast.

## Quick answer

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Use Studio" icon="clapperboard" href="/studio/overview">
    You want a **finished, branded video** built on a professional template — an invite, promo, or greeting — by describing it in a sentence.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Use AI Apps" icon="wand-magic-sparkles" href="/ai-apps/overview">
    You want to **generate raw assets** from a prompt — an image, a short video clip, a voiceover, a 3D model, or an avatar.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Use the Marketplace" icon="store" href="/marketplace/overview">
    You want a **ready-made asset or template** made by a creator, or you want to **sell** your own work.
  </Card>

## Studio vs AI Apps

This is the most common question. The short version:

|                          | **Studio**                                  | **AI Apps**                                      |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **What you get**         | A finished, edited video                    | Individual generated assets (image, clip, audio) |
| **How**                  | Describe it; Vihaan builds it on a template | Prompt a specific tool for a specific output     |
| **Best for**             | Invites, promos, greetings, social videos   | Concept images, b-roll clips, narration, mockups |
| **Design done for you?** | Yes — template + editorial placement        | No — you get the raw output to use as you like   |
| **Credits**              | Studio balance (15 per final video)         | AI Apps balance (per generation)                 |

<Tip>
  They work well **together**: generate an image or voiceover in AI Apps, then use it as an input when you build a video in Studio.
