Only comparing the developer offering here. Our main product, the video creation API, differs from Animoto API in a zillion ways that can be summed up by flexibility. Also, access is $30/mo, instead of I believe $30k upfront - OH, not public. Then the 15 new APIs covered in the Forbes article are completely new and do not exist at Animoto or anywhere else as an ensemble of web services. Things like extrating a frame from video, detecting faces in photos, stabilizing videos, detecting beat in music. Our goal is to address the broader spectrum of developers and offer a complete toolkit of services to quickly build apps that process UGC. Some of the new services exist as standalone APIs from some great folks like encoding.com zencoder.com (transcode), cloudinary imgix (photo serving), lambda labs (face detection), neospeech (TTS).
