MiniMax M2.7 is the clear winner: 8.4/10 (A-tier) versus 7.3/10 (B-tier). InVideo AI isn't a bad tool, but on every category that drives the overall score, MiniMax M2.7 comes out ahead. The tier gap is repeatable -- not methodology noise -- and the day-to-day experience reflects it.
Pricing-wise, both tools have a free tier (MiniMax M2.7 starts $0, InVideo AI starts $0), so you can test either without committing. Compare what each free tier actually unlocks -- usage caps, model access, and feature gates differ a lot more than the headline price suggests, especially as both vendors have tightened limits in 2026.
By use case: pick MiniMax M2.7 when agentic coding and tool-use workflows on a budget. Pick InVideo AI when marketers and small business owners who need quick social media or explainer videos and don't have a video editing background. The two tools aren't fighting for the same person -- they're aiming at adjacent jobs that occasionally overlap. If you're squarely in MiniMax M2.7's lane, the tier-list ranking and the use-case fit point the same direction; if you're in InVideo AI's lane, the score gap matters less than the fit.
Bottom line: MiniMax M2.7 is the better tool for most people right now. Pick InVideo AI only when marketers and small business owners who need quick social media or explainer videos and don't have a video editing background -- that's its lane, and inside that lane it still earns its place.
