Product Hunt: launching Nov 10

Arcads vs Creatify

Verdict

Both are self-serve AI ad tools with large libraries of AI actors: Arcads centers on actor-led UGC ads and dubbing them into other languages, Creatify on ads from a product link, tracking competitors’ ads and launching campaigns. Creatify publishes its prices and Arcads does not; a third-party figure for Arcads is quoted under the price table, not compared. Creatify also sells done-for-you production; Arcads does not state one publicly.

“Not found” means we did not find a statement in the pages we checked on the stated date; it does not mean the feature is unavailable. For “Per-market adaptation stated”, “Partly” means translation or dubbing is stated, while adapting the message itself was not found in the pages we checked; self-serve users can change scripts, people and offers themselves.

What a usable video costs

Illustrative subscription spend for one 30-second video at 10, 100 and 500 videos a month: for each service, the cheapest published monthly plan for the workflow named in its price footnotes that covers the generations needed. API prices and your team’s own work are excluded, so these are not equivalent service quotes.

Generations per usable video

Self-serve tools charge for every generation, and a usable ad can take more than one. Set your own number.

What a usable video costs
Videos a month10100500
Arcads: price per generation Not public Not public37 Not public38
Creatify: price per generation $5.5039 $1.9540 $1.5941
Creatify: cost per usable video at two generations43942404341 $5.50 $3.95 —
Quelta: starting price per delivered video from $2044 from $2044 from $2044

Lowest cost per usable video at this volume

No volume in the table has a known price for both services, so we make no price comparison.

The per-generation row counts one generation per video. The rows for Creatify use two generations per usable video: we take the cheapest published plan that covers that many generations and divide its price by the number of usable videos; “—” means we found no published plan that covers it. That is an assumption you can change, not a measured rate for Creatify. Remakes needed to pass Quelta’s delivery check are included in its price; your review and requested revisions follow the agreed project scope.

Arcads · Starting price: Not published; reported $110 / month3 reported. Starter plan, as reported by shhots.ai on 9 Aug 2026 and not confirmed by Arcads; Arcads shows dollar prices only inside the app after sign-up. This figure comes from a third-party source and is not confirmed by Arcads.

Creatify · Starting price: $15 / month4. Standard, 55 credits; $10 / month billed annually. There is also a free plan with 10 credits a month.

Quelta: the pilot and the final project price are quoted per project.

Quelta also makes videos up to 60 seconds, from $30 per video.44

Finished videos, made for you

What each does well

From each service’s own pages. Each point links to its source.

Arcads

  • A library of 1,000+ AI actors, and you can create your own AI avatar. Source
  • One Workflow run can turn a single script and product image into 20 UGC videos (10 AI actors in 2 languages). Source
  • Translates any video, with full lip sync, into 176 language and accent options, several languages in one run. Source
  • MCP server on every plan and a public API on Pro and above; paid plans include 100 free images per rolling 24 hours. Source

Creatify

  • Free plan with 10 credits a month (about two short videos) to test before paying. Source
  • Far lower price per generation at volume: about $1.59 per 30-s video at 500 a month on the Business plan (6,100 credits for $795). Source
  • Built-in ad intelligence and launching: Competitor Ad Tracker (10M+ Meta ads), Ad Launcher and an AI Performance Agent for Meta, TikTok and AppLovin. Source
  • Self-serve speed: a ready-to-run ad from a product link in under 60 seconds, with 1000+ AI avatars and re-rendering in 75+ languages. Source

Which one to choose

Choose Arcads if…

  • The actor is the ad for you, and you want a big library to choose from: 1,000+ AI actors, plus custom actors.
  • You dub finished ads into many languages and accents: Translation with lip sync, 176 options.
  • You build repeatable production runs: Workflows, e.g. 20 videos in one run.
  • You want an MCP server from the smallest plan up.

Choose Creatify if…

  • You want prices you can check on the website before signing up.
  • You want to start on a free plan before paying anything.
  • You want to see competitors’ ads, then launch and optimize your own campaigns in the same tool.
  • You might later want the same company to make ads for you, which Creatify sells as a managed service.

A third option for catalog-scale production

Both tools assume your team makes the ads: writing scripts, generating takes and picking the usable ones. If what you need is a video for every product in a catalog, in several markets, Quelta is a third option: you send product photos or a feed and get finished videos back, each checked before delivery.

Quelta charges from $20 per delivered video up to 30 seconds, with remakes needed to pass its delivery check included, so the price does not depend on how many takes a usable ad needs. It does not replace an actor library or ad tracking; it takes catalog production off your team.

Videos for your catalog, starting with one category

Tell us about your catalog, markets and volumes. We make the first videos for one category, so you can compare them with what you have now. Then the same scenarios cover the whole catalog.

  1. Send your products

    A product feed, links to product pages or photos for one category.

  2. Agree markets and audiences

    Countries, languages, platforms, generations of buyers and the quality threshold.

  3. Get the pilot videos

  4. Scale to the catalog

    Every product, every market and every new arrival, in one style.

We don’t copy other people’s videos. Every video is new and about your product. We keep the mechanics that sell (script, pacing, delivery), not anyone’s footage, people or music.
