PropertyVideos.ai vs Howards: which is right for NZ agents?

PropertyVideos.ai and Howards both turn listing photos into video. PropertyVideos.ai is a self-serve platform where you create the video through its software. Howards is a service: you send us the photos and we produce the finished video.

Which is right for you depends on whether you want to operate the tool or hand over the job. For NZ agents, ordering, payment and who handles the creative decisions are useful places to start.

What PropertyVideos.ai is

PropertyVideos.ai turns listing photographs into videos through a self-serve online platform. Its published workflow starts with 5 to 15 photos and the listing details. The system adds motion, music, voiceover and branding, with landscape and portrait versions available.

The provider advertises delivery in minutes and sells video credits individually or in packs. You run the request through its platform and download the finished result. Check its website for current pricing.

Self-serve does not mean you have to edit a timeline. The platform handles the video production through its own templates and settings. The distinction here is who operates the process, rather than a claim about the quality of the result or whether people are involved behind the scenes.

What Howards is

We are a New Zealand property video service. Send us your listing photos and we choose the shots, order, movement and music. You receive a finished video within 24 hours, using AI-assisted production with human quality control.

A Full Listing Video is horizontal and runs for 60 to 90 seconds. A Social Reel is vertical. See example videos to decide how each format could fit your campaign, and pricing for the product details.

You or your office admin can order through the dashboard and pay at checkout. Or email a private photo-folder link to contact@howards.ai. We invoice email orders after delivery, payable within 7 days, with no account needed.

Side by side

When PropertyVideos.ai is the better fit

If you like running the process yourself and want the result in minutes, a self-serve platform is worth considering. You may prefer to upload the photos, use the available settings and collect the result in the same account.

It is also a relevant option if voiceover is part of what you want from a listing video. That is a published feature of its product, so include it in your comparison if it matters to your campaign.

For an office producing videos across many listings, credit packs may fit how you organise production. Compare the current offer against the number of videos you expect to order and how your team wants to manage them.

When Howards is the better fit

If you would rather order a video than operate a platform, our service is built around that preference. You send the listing photographs and leave the creative decisions with us. A human checks the video before delivery.

That can also suit an office admin ordering on an agent’s behalf. The person placing the request does not have to become the person producing the video. They can submit the photos through the dashboard or email a Dropbox, Google Drive or other private folder link.

Email ordering is useful when you want an invoice after delivery and do not want to set up an account. For NZ agents, GST-inclusive pricing also makes it clear what goes into the vendor marketing package.

You can oncharge the video to the vendor or fund it yourself if the vendor says no. Whichever route you choose, you are ordering finished production from us.
