How we grade them
| 2.2GPAAdCreative.aiFair | 2.4GPABannersnackFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | BStarter is $7 a month on yearly billing, but HTML5 and animated export need Pro at $18, still inside the cheapest quarter that starts at $26. |
| 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. | CFree but capped at 10 designs over the account's lifetime, with no HTML5, GIF or MP4 export. |
| 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' top ads. That's the whole job, though video and scoring aren't on Starter. | BEditor, resizing to 50+ sizes, animation, exports, brand libraries and feed-based automation on Plus. The listing names no gap in banner making at Pro. |
| 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. | CA blank canvas to build in, so the work is making the ads. We found no store rating. |
| 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, with an API mentioned on the homepage and no integrations listed. |
| Best for | banner ads in every size without a designer | making banners and HTML5 ads in a browser |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
