How we grade them
| 2.2GPAAdCreative.aiFair | 1.8GPAArcadsWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DGraded on a few dozen ads a month against the AI ad makers it's listed with. Starter at $20 billed yearly gives 20 credits, one per download, so you'd want 120 credits at $95. Even that has no video or creative scoring, which start on Professional at $125. That's dear next to its rivals. | CNo dollar price is on record: Arcads shows prices only inside the app, so this is the ordinary grade for a missing price, not a judgment. What's known is that Starter gives 8,000 credits a month, a talking-actor video costs 800, and yearly billing is 20% off. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but a 7-day trial with 10 credits to try banners, videos and UGC videos. The listing doesn't say whether a card is taken. Generating is unlimited; it's downloading that spends credits. | DNo free plan. A 72-hour trial with 1,000 credits needs a card, and Starter monthly begins by itself unless you cancel. That's short, and the price isn't published outside the app. |
| Features | BBanners in every size, ad copy, product and fashion photoshoots, video ads from one image, scoring before launch, reports from your Meta, Google and LinkedIn accounts and rivals' best ads. That's the whole job, though video and scoring aren't on Starter. | C1,000+ AI actors, custom actors, video and image models such as Veo 3.1 and Kling 3.0, unboxings, app showcases, translation with lip sync and batch workflows. It does the making fully, but that's one job: no rivals' ads, no reports on your accounts. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. Making a banner from a product photo looks quick, but there are brands to set up, ad accounts to connect for the insights, and credits to watch, since every download spends one. | CNo rating on record. Writing a script and picking an actor is simple, but credits vary by model and Arcads says rates may differ by account, so working out what a video costs takes care. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb plus an iPhone app, which has its own App Store subscription. It reads Meta, Google and LinkedIn ad accounts and pulls stock photos from iStock. No Android or desktop app, and no API on record. | CWeb only, and it doesn't connect to any ad account. Its links are ElevenLabs voices and an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT, and the API only comes on Pro and above. |
| Best for | banner ads in every size without a designer | UGC-style video ads read by AI actors |
