Star Singer vs One More Shot
Tested by us on October 16, 2026 on a Pixel 6 Pro with the Google Play (US) versions of both apps, real purchases, the same photo and the same brief. Prices change; check the app before you buy.
Short answer
One More Shot plans a video like a director: an AI director, a free moodboard with three stills and a written treatment, and editing tools. A full-song video was quoted at 7,455 tokens (with a 30% first-video discount), which in practice meant the $129.99-a-month ULTRA tier. Star Singer's full video is $19.99 one-time, and it writes the song too. We did not buy a One More Shot video, so we cannot compare output.
We did not buy a One More Shot video: the full video was over our test budget. This page compares pricing, the flow and the free moodboard only. Output quality, length, resolution, watermark and likeness are not measured.

Side by side
Same photo, same brief, real purchases, October 16, 2026. Where we could not measure something, the table says so.
| Star Singer | One More Shot | |
|---|---|---|
| Price model | One-time price per video: $5.99 clip or $19.99 full music video | Tokens plus monthly tiers (BASIC $29 or $42.99 a month as shown in different places, ULTRA $129.99, HYPER $444.99) |
| Cost of a first full video, as we measured it | $19.99 one-time for the full video (or $5.99 for a clip); the song itself was free | Quoted at 7,455 tokens with a 30% first-video discount (10,650 normally), roughly the $129.99/month ULTRA tier. A 30 s video was 1,050 tokens. Not bought |
| Video length and resolution | Clip 26 s, full video 2:02 (the whole song); both 1080x1920 | Not measured (not bought) |
| Makes the song too? | Yes. Lyrics are shown and editable for free, then the song is sung; one free song a day (free songs are shared in the public feed) | Not in the flow we tested: you upload a song or paste a Suno link |
| Preview before paying? | Yes, free: the video concept plus a few stills, with a button to ask for another idea | Yes, free: a moodboard with three stills and a written treatment |
| Subscription or credits? | No subscription and no credits to top up. You pay once for the video you pick | Both: 50 free tokens on sign-up, then monthly tiers or token packs |
| Watermark | None on the paid clip or the paid full video | Not measured (not bought) |
| Likeness to the photo | Our weakest point: the face drifts between shots and wardrobe is restyled | Not measured (not bought) |
What happened in One More Shot
Google sign-up, 50 free tokens, then a 4-step wizard (upload a song or paste a Suno link, add a photo, describe the video). The free moodboard showed three stills and a treatment. The full song was quoted at 7,455 tokens, discounted 30% from 10,650 for a first video; a 30-second version was 1,050 tokens, followed by a "Don't stop now" offer for BASIC at $29 a month.
Where each one is better
Where One More Shot is better
- Directing tools. One More Shot positions itself around an AI director that plans every shot, with prompting and editing of the result (per its store listing).
- The moodboard. Its free preview is a written treatment plus three stills, a richer brief than ours.
- More looks and formats: horizontal or vertical, and styles from realistic to anime, low-poly and pixel art.
- It takes a Suno link directly, handy if your songs already live there.
Where Star Singer is better
- One-time price. No subscription, no weekly renewal and no credits to top up: the clip is $5.99 and the full video is $19.99.
- Song and video in one place. Star Singer wrote and sang the song (lyrics editable for free first, and the song sang the recipient's name), then made the video from it.
- Full HD output. Both our clip and our full video came out at 1080x1920.
- Karaoke lyrics timed to the vocal are part of the video.
- A free storyboard before you pay: the concept and a few stills, with a button to ask for a different idea.
- A known price for the whole song: $19.99 once, against a token quote that pointed to a $129.99-a-month tier in our test.
Who should pick which

Pick One More Shot if you want hands-on control of the shots and the edit, already have the song, and a monthly plan fits your volume.
