Animatorly · Phlack Visuals, South Africa
Animatorly is a tools directory and a marketplace for animators. It covers every form of animation, and the programs people actually work in. Profiles lead with the work. Clients post the job and pay the animator directly.
Free until about 30 animators are active. Pricing is announced before anyone is charged.
Two ways in
The same site, two jobs. Animators keep a portfolio-first profile. Clients come to hire. Animatorly is not in the middle of the invoice.
The work
These frames are original placeholders, standing in until real stills and loops are on the site. Nothing here is from someone else's film.
If you work in something else, choose Other on the form. RigDoctor, when it arrives, rates Moho rigs. The rest of Animatorly is not a Moho site, and it is not limited to one program.
The promise
Animatorly is not a party to the job. We don't invoice the client for the animator's work, we don't hold the money, and we don't keep a percentage of it.
While we open
Everything on Animatorly is free until about 30 animators are active. Joining this list is not a subscription, and it does not start a bill.
We will publish the animator subscription and the client job-post fee before either one is charged. If you're on this list, you hear it first. There is no price on this page, because none has been set.
In this order
The marketplace is the point. The directory and RigDoctor come first, so there is something useful on the site before anyone is asked to pay.
Pages for the programs and add-ons animators use, organised the way people search. Affiliate links where a programme exists, labelled as such. Tools with no affiliate programme still get a page. An “AI tools for animators” section is part of this directory, and it comes after the core pages.
A rig-quality rating for Moho rigs. It is a tool for Moho. Animatorly itself is not a Moho brand.
Portfolio-first animator profiles, and job posts from clients. This is the full site the waitlist is for.
Short answers
No. It covers 2D, 3D, stop motion, motion graphics, rigging, and the rest, in whatever program you use. Moho is one program on the list. RigDoctor, when it ships, rates Moho rigs. That is the Moho-specific piece.
No. We never take a cut of what an animator earns, and we never hold or pass along the payment between a client and an animator. Animators will pay a monthly subscription. Clients will pay to post a job. Those are the only charges.
Nothing. The site stays free until about 30 animators are active. We will say what the subscription and the job-post fee are before anyone is charged. Joining the list does not sign you up for a payment.
No. The marketplace is for people. AI tools aimed at animators will be listed later, in their own section of the directory. They are tools, not a roster.

Two forms. Use the one that fits. You can join both if you animate and you also hire. We store one signup per email address for each role.
Tell us what you make and where the work lives. A portfolio link can wait if you don't have one yet.
Say what you need and roughly when. This is not a job post yet. We'll write when posting opens.
