How we grade them
| 1.8GPAArcadsWeak | 2.4GPACreatifyFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | CGraded on a few dozen video ads a month. Standard's 55 credits at $12 billed annually won't stretch that far when 10 credits make up to 2 videos, so it's Pro: 280 credits for $44 billed annually ($55 monthly), which also adds rival tracking and Ad Clone. Mid-range here. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. | CA free plan with 10 credits a month, enough for up to 2 video ads or 20 image ads, with 300 AI actors. Every export carries a watermark, so it's for trying, not for real ads. |
| Features | 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. | BLink-to-video, AI actors and your own avatars, a playground of video and image models, a tracker of 10M+ Meta ads, Ad Clone, and launching to Meta, TikTok and AppLovin with ROAS per ad. From Pro, that's the whole job. Standard does one generation at a time and 2-minute videos. |
| Ease of use | 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. | CNo rating on record. Pasting a link and getting a video looks quick, but each video's cost depends on the model, length and resolution, and credits expire after 2 months. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | BWeb only, with no apps. It takes Amazon, Shopify, App Store and Google Play links, launches to Meta, TikTok and AppLovin, has a Slack bot and an MCP server, and sells an API from $99 a month. |
| Best for | UGC-style video ads read by AI actors | video ads with AI actors from a product link |
