Creatify Standard is $15 a month for 55 credits. An avatar video costs 5 credits per 15 seconds, rounded up, so a 30-second ad is 10 credits, $2.73, and Standard makes five of them a month. On Pro ($55) the same ad is $1.96, cheaper than our $2.65, and Pro is also where Creatify lists avatars holding your product. Where Creatify is strong is range: 1,500 actors, 75+ languages, and a launcher that publishes to Meta, TikTok and AppLovin on every plan.

“Look at my skin right now.”
Before-and-after angle from the same request, same photo, same price.
“My wife thinks I learned to cook. Three weeks now.”
Our top tier (Max), from a hand-written brief: 18 seconds for 50 credits, $3.90.

Creatify plans from its pricing page and rates from its help center, checked November 9, 2026, monthly billing unless marked. One single-avatar 30-second video, no revisions: 10 credits. AdMakeAI: two Sharp clips plus their two start-frame stills, 34 credits.
Two more lines on the pricing page change the math. Plan credits stay valid for two months, so a quiet month carries over, which our monthly credits don't (our top-up packs from $19 never expire). And the free plan gives 10 credits a month, two video ads or 20 images, with a watermark on exports.
Creatify reviews: what customers complain about
Creatify has 3.7 stars from 845 reviews on Trustpilot: 76% five stars, 18% one star, and Trustpilot notes it hasn't invited reviews recently. The one-stars from September to November are mostly about renewals that weren't refunded, and next about credits spent in the Agent and on retries.
"in one chat to set up my video, I see over 20 credits gone"
"Each retry used more credits, including attempts to correct errors the AI had made."
"they kept a full month's payment for a plan I had already cancelled and not used."
"the character consistency is flawless, and the overall visual design looks awesome."
The first two match Creatify's own credit article: in the Agent, Ad Flow and Ad Clone, cost "depends on prompt complexity, number of generation attempts, and total processing resources required". On renewals, its Terms say "Payments are non-refundable, except where required by law."
See the price, then render
In AdMakeAI's Video Agent the conversation is free. Credits leave only when something renders, and the price shows first: a 2-credit start-frame still, a free voiceover preview, then a 15-credit Sharp clip, and the agent asks before it renders video. A retake re-renders only the clip you change, and a render that fails refunds its credits on its own.

On Arcads' rate card a talking-actor video is one 800-credit generation, so a changed line is another 800, about $11 at the reported Starter price.
What $39 makes in AdMakeAI
Starter is $39 a month for 500 credits on our pricing page. That buys 14 thirty-second ads at Sharp, $2.65 each, or 33 twelve-second takes like the serum ones above, $1.17 each. Every take starts from your own product photo, composited into the person's first frame, which Creatify keeps for Pro.
The script can start from competitor ads you track in the Meta Ad Library, by brand and keyword, on every plan. The same 500 credits make static ad sets in Ad Set Studio ($0.16 a Fast image, $0.62 Sharp) and push the finished video to your Meta ad set as a paused draft for 3 credits. You cancel from the dashboard in two clicks.
Other Creatify alternatives
Creatify is hard to beat on price per avatar second once you're on Pro, so most alternatives win on something else.
MakeUGC: best if you want product in hand on every plan and pay yearly
A talking video is 100 of Starter's 500 credits whatever its length up to two minutes: $11.80 at $59 a month, $5.80 billed yearly. Our MakeUGC alternatives page has every plan.
Watch out for: its $1 trial turns into the full plan unless you cancel, and Trustpilot shows no rating for it after removing fake reviews.
HeyGen: best for a presenter or your own twin in many languages
Cheaper per second than Creatify for a talking presenter, and better at translation than at ads. Our HeyGen alternatives page splits it by job.
Arcads: best for faces built from real, paid actors
The most human faces here and the highest price per take; it doesn't publish prices before signup. What Arcads costs.
Pencil: best if you run ads well beyond Meta and TikTok
Pencil launches and tracks ads on seven networks, Google Display, DV360 and LinkedIn included, from $14 a month for 50 credits, but every model has its own rate. What a Pencil credit buys.
Seven AI UGC tools priced per finished ad are in our AI UGC video tools comparison.

Creatify alternatives: questions people ask
Is Creatify worth it?
For avatar video at volume, yes: from Pro ($55) a 30-second avatar ad costs $1.96, with 1,500 actors and 75+ languages. Check two things first: product holding starts on Pro, and the Agent, Ad Flow and Ad Clone use a number of credits Creatify says can't be determined upfront.
How much does Creatify cost in 2026?
Standard is $15 a month for 55 credits, Pro $55 for 280, Ultra $95 for 730 and Business $195 for 1,500; yearly billing is $10, $38, $66 and $136 a month. An avatar video costs 5 credits per 15 seconds, rounded up, so 30 seconds is $2.73 on Standard and $1.96 on Pro.
Does Creatify have a free plan?
Yes: 10 credits a month, enough for two video ads or 20 image ads, with a watermark on exports. Free credits don't carry over to a paid plan.
Can Creatify avatars hold my product?
Yes, on Pro ($55) and above, which its AI avatar page lists along with branded clothing and custom backgrounds. AdMakeAI puts your product photo in the person's hand on every paid plan, from $39.
Why do Creatify credits run out so fast?
Avatar videos bill per 15 seconds, rounded up, so a 31-second video bills as 45. The Agent, Ad Flow and Ad Clone charge by prompt complexity and attempts, and re-running the AI to fix an output counts as a new generation.
Does Creatify give refunds?
Its Terms say payments are non-refundable except where the law requires it. You can cancel any time on the website or by email, and the plan runs to the end of the billing period.
Is there a free Creatify alternative?
Not one that gives you a video ad you can run for free: Creatify's own free plan watermarks exports, and MakeUGC's $1 trial is for evaluation only. AdMakeAI's 30 free credits are for trying static ads on your own brand; UGC video starts at $39 a month.
Make a 30-second ad with your product in it, priced before it renders
Approve a 2-credit still and a free voice preview, then render. Starter is $39 for 500 credits, and 30 free credits let you try static ads on your own brand before you pay.
