Is ThatBoyThatBoy free?

No. Sign-in and a credit pack are required, and there is no free trial. A 9-second clip costs 306 credits at 480p or 684 at 720p; the $9 pack gives 900 credits, enough for two 480p clips.

Do any of these routes put the original song in the file?

Not here: the clip carries an AI-spoken chant and no music, so you add the song yourself from the TikTok or Reels sound library. A template app that ships the sound may include it; a general model usually returns silent video.

Are credit prices comparable between tools?

No. Each site decides what a credit is worth, which is why this page quotes dollars for our own clip and describes the other routes in plain terms instead of pretending the numbers line up.

Which route is best for a caricature look?

A purpose-built tool. Here the Caricature look exaggerates the ears, eyes and front teeth while keeping the person recognisable, and it costs exactly the same as the Just me look. General models can do it, but you have to describe the exaggeration in a prompt and hope it holds for nine seconds.

Is ThatBoyThatBoy affiliated with TikTok or the artist?

No. It is an independent third-party tool, not affiliated with the artist, the label, TikTok, CapCut or the creators of the original video. It hosts neither the song nor the original footage.

Quick answer

There are four honest routes: a purpose-built template site like this one (one photo in, a finished 9-second clip out), a CapCut-style template (you film it), a general AI video studio (you supply a reference clip and write prompts), or filming the routine yourself. If you want the clip without acting, editing or writing prompts, a purpose-built site is the shortest path — here a 9-second clip is 306 credits at 480p ($3.06).

The Options at a Glance

Option	Input	Length	Format	Audio in the file	Price as listed
ThatBoyThatBoy (this site)	1 photo	Fixed 9 s	9:16 MP4, 480p or 720p	AI-spoken chant, no music	306 credits at 480p, 684 at 720p ($1 = 100 credits)
CapCut-style template	Footage you shoot	Your clip length	Whatever you film	The template's sound, if it ships one	Free to a few dollars, plus your time
General AI video studio	Reference clip + photo + prompt	Set by you, billed per second	Usually 720p or 1080p	Depends on the model; often silent	Subscription or per-clip credits
Film it yourself	A phone, a parked car, daylight	9 s if you nail the timing	9:16 from your phone	Whatever you record	Free

Credit prices are not comparable across tools — each site's credit is worth a different amount, so the dollar figure is the only honest comparison. Nothing here is a paid test result: the other routes were compared from their public descriptions, not by running them.

Each Option, in Short

ThatBoyThatBoy (this site)

One photo in, one finished 9-second vertical clip out. Two looks — Just me keeps your face, Caricature exaggerates the ears, eyes and front teeth — with the chant already spoken in the file. No editing, no filming, no prompt to write.

Best for: people who want the clip, not a project: one upload, a clear dollar price, and the routine timed for them.

CapCut-style template

Template apps hand you the beat guide and often the sound, but the performance is yours: you still have to film the head turns and the fist in a car, then match the cuts.

Best for: people who want to be seen actually doing the dance, and do not mind a few takes.

General AI video studio

A general video model can take your photo and a reference clip, but you have to describe eight beats precisely in a prompt and usually re-run it a few times. Nine seconds is short; eight distinct beats are a lot for one prompt.

Best for: people who already pay for a general model and like tuning prompts.

Film it yourself

Park the car, prop the phone at chest height, learn the eight beats and shoot it. It costs nothing and it is the most authentic version of the trend.

Best for: anyone who would rather perform it than generate it.

Which One Fits You?

Want the finished clip with no filming? → a purpose-built template site, from $3.06 for 9 seconds at 480p.
Want to perform it yourself? → a CapCut-style template or your own phone; you keep full control of the face and timing.
Already pay for a general video model? → try it with a reference clip, but expect to iterate on the eight beats.
Care about the price only? → filming is free; generation starts at $3.06 a clip here, and there is no free trial.

Honest Pros and Cons of ThatBoyThatBoy

Where we are strong

A clear dollar price — 306 credits at 480p, so $3.06 for a finished 9-second clip.
Two looks in one studio: your own face, or a recognisable caricature of it.
One photo in, finished vertical MP4 out — nothing to edit or rehearse.
The routine is timed for you: eight beats on the same second marks every time.

Where we are limited

9:16 only — no square or landscape export.
Fixed 9 seconds — no longer or shorter cut.
One person per clip, and the chant is the only audio; the original song has to be added in the app.
Paid only: sign-in and a credit pack, no free trial.

How This Comparison Was Made

We looked at what each route actually asks of you — what you have to supply, how long the output is, what is in the file's audio track, and what it costs — and wrote it down on October 29, 2026.

We did not run paid tests on the other routes, so no quality scores are claimed here. Where a figure comes from a public page, treat it as that page's claim rather than a measurement.

Choosing a Tool: FAQ

It depends on what you want to do. Want the clip without filming → use a purpose-built template site like this one. Want to perform the dance yourself → a CapCut-style template or your own camera. Already pay for a general model and enjoy prompting → try that. All four routes produce the same joke; only the effort and the price differ.
