I know a lot of people here are upset about Grok Imagine moderation. I was there too many months ago before I gave up on it completely. I went ahead and built an alternative to it and tried to keep the good parts and get rid of the bad. I regularly make 5–10 minute original videos for YouTube and moderation was killing my creative flow. If you are desperate for an alternative like I was, this post is for you.
Disclaimer: Video generation is expensive no matter where you go. The stickied post in r/Grok is correct that Grok goes very far when you think about it: $10/month = 10 videos per day or 30 minutes worth of video per month. But when you factor in that you can't really produce what it is you're looking to create, that is pretty meaningless unless cost is #1 to you. I still personally miss Grok Imagine for its ability to rapidly produce a ton of cheap filler content quickly for my longer videos.
Anyways, in my search for alternatives I spent thousands of dollars in credits trying out every service out there as well as all types of different prompts and workflows to see what could do what Grok Imagine does best with the least hassle. I ended up finding a few favorite methods and put them all together over the months.
What this led to was the creation of Wurt.app — an AI image and video generation tool that keeps things simple while providing you access to the most powerful AI tools on the planet with the least censorship possible. I'll break down the features below.
The Models On Wurt.app
Wurt (video model)
This is the basic model. It's cheap and fast and allows for rapid prototyping of ideas. It has minimal censorship (though there is some for certain IRL, etc) for safety but far less than Grok Imagine. I don't typically recommend it for much except testing out your prompts and ideas, although some users are very happy with it. It's particularly good at anime and art type stuff. It's good for basic prompts and derpy stuff.
Sqwurt (video model)
This is creative mode. It's uncensored and particularly good with IRL, digital painting and physics. It handles horror and uncanny stuff very well too. A bit slower and slightly more expensive than the basic Wurt model but makes up for it with less censorship and its ability to understand highly complex prompts, including JSON format prompts. It can handle as many as 5,000 characters.
SqwurtMAX (video model)
This is a proprietary model that uses all of the most advanced features available today and combines them into one to give you the highest quality videos possible. If you are familiar with Seedance 2.0, it's like that but with far less censorship. Extremely good prompt understanding, video quality, and fun. It's the closest thing I could make to an uncensored Grok Imagine model. It is the most expensive by far due to the actual costs I have to pay for GPUs to create the videos, but if you want it, it's there and fully built and ready for you. It takes the best of every model I have ever used in my testing available and combines them into one. It is likely the best model available currently anywhere. I say this with confidence because I tried everything over several months in order to build it. If you are reading this post and you're seeking an alternative to Grok Imagine, SqwurtMAX on Wurt.app is the closest thing you will ever find to it.
Seedance 2.0
I also provide access to this model on the site but it is heavily censored and honestly only good for silly text-based videos. If you try using an image, or any kind of prompt that goes beyond Rated G or uses copywritten stuff or real people, it'll be rejected. SqwurtMAX on the other hand is like an uncensored Seedance 2.0. It really is that good.
I haven't really posted about it much anywhere yet (still relatively new), but if you take the time to read this and want to give it a try, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Just wanted to make the community aware it's out there.
How To Get Started
Head to www.wurt.app. Make an account, claim the free credits, try out some of the features. I recommend using Picwurt (picture section) first to create the perfect starting image/frame for your video and then using that on Vidwurt (video section) so that your video comes out exactly how you want it.
There is also a magic wand in the text box you can use to enhance your prompt. It's a proprietary tool that also incorporates the best prompting tricks and behaviors that I discovered into one simple tap for you — tap once to add and again to remove. You can also tweak the enhanced prompt and tap it again to continue building on it.
If you enjoy Wurt.app, I recommend saving it to your device as an app from the browser. It gives it a little extra functionality and makes it nicer to use.
About Buying Credits
When buying credits, Stripe (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, etc.) is currently only enabled for the $4.99 pack. All others go through crypto or Cash App. It's just to ensure liquidity is available for all users regardless of usage needs without having to throttle, and allows a constant uptime. As the app grows, Stripe will be made available for all payment tiers. I appreciate your understanding there.
TL;DR
If you're at your wits' end with Grok Imagine, go to Wurt.app and use SqwurtMAX. It is the closest direct replacement to uncensored Grok Imagine currently available.
Have fun! — Wurt
