Part 02 · Top three
Our top three
The three we'd look at first, and who each one suits
The three ad creative and reporting tools we'd look at first. First place suits the most people; second and third are the best picks for the people it leaves out. Each has an Insider's Guide of its own.
1st
2.4GPAPredis.ai
Free trial · from $19/mo
For: Most small businesses and lone marketers making ads
Predis.ai makes image ads, carousels, UGC-style and product videos with captions and hashtags from a prompt or a store's products, schedules them to eight social networks, and shows a rival's live Meta ads from an Ad Library link. Core is $19 a month billed yearly ($32 monthly) for 1,300 credits, which the pricing page puts at about 325 images or 33 videos. It runs on the web, iPhone and Android, and its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.7 from about 370 ratings. Know the limits: the 3-day trial takes a card and bills on day 3, it does not report on your own ad accounts, auto-posting starts on Rise at $40, and rival tracking covers Facebook and Instagram only.
The Predis.ai Insider’s Guide2nd
2.4GPAMadgicx
Free trial · from $32/mo
For: Advertisers on Meta who want reports and fixes
Madgicx audits Meta ad accounts daily and prepares one-click fixes for wasted spend, runs rules around the clock, flags tired creatives, makes image ads from a prompt or any Meta Ad Library ad, and builds shareable reports from Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, Shopify, Klaviyo and GA4 data. One plan has every feature, priced by ad spend: $32 a month billed yearly ($45 monthly) up to $1K, and $83 up to $5K, after a 7-day trial. It is second because it works on ads you already run rather than making most of them, and it optimizes Meta alone, with other platforms in reports only. It runs in a web browser only, and server-side tracking is $49 a month more per account.
The Madgicx Insider’s Guide3rd
2.4GPACreatify
Free plan · from $12/mo
For: Anyone wanting video ads with AI actors, starting free
Creatify turns a product or app link into a scripted video ad presented by AI actors, and makes image ads too, with models such as Veo and Kling. The free plan gives 10 credits a month, up to 2 video ads or 20 image ads with a watermark, and Standard is $12 a month billed annually ($15 monthly) for 55 credits. From Pro at $44 it adds a tracker of 10M+ Meta ads and Ad Clone, and it launches ads to Meta, TikTok and AppLovin and reports ROAS per ad. It is third because its credits make fewer ads for the money than Predis.ai's. It runs on the web only, credits expire after 2 months, and Standard makes one video at a time, up to 2 minutes long.

Part 05 · Keep or make
Keep or make?
Which are worth paying for, and which you could make yourself
0
Simple enough to make yourself, of 12
Some software does something you couldn’t reasonably build yourself. Some is simple enough that an AI app builder could make the core of it in an afternoon. Here’s where ad creative and reporting tools land, by the same rules for every tool.
12
Keep it
It does something you could not reasonably make for yourself, or it costs nothing.
0
Your call
You could make the core of it, and you would give something up.
0
You could make this
What it does is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well, and it charges every month.
Worth keeping
Atria
To replace Atria you would be making an image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
Creatify
To replace Creatify you would be making a video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
Madgicx
To replace Madgicx you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
Predis.ai
To replace Predis.ai you would be making an image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
