MakeUGC charges by the video, not the second: a talking-actor video is 100 credits for up to 120 seconds of audio. That makes long scripts cheap and short ads dear, and Starter's 500 credits make five videos a month. Where MakeUGC is strong: product in hand on every plan, 300 to 1,000+ actors, 50+ languages with lip-sync, and API and MCP access on every plan.
What a take costs in AdMakeAI, next to MakeUGC's $11.80 a video
“I used to hide under heavy foundation every single morning because my dull skin made me feel so invisible.”
Story angle, a first take at Sharp: 12 seconds for 15 credits, $1.17.
“Secret reason everyone keeps asking why my skin looks radiant before eight in the morning.”
Curiosity angle, same photo, same request: $1.17.
“I told my daughter no grown man pays nine dollars a day to feed a dog.”
Our top tier (Max), from a hand-written brief: about $8.11 per 30 seconds, still under MakeUGC's $11.80 a video month to month.

Plans from MakeUGC's pricing page and rates from its credits and limits page, checked November 9, 2026. A talking-actor or Nova V2 product-in-hand video is 100 credits; product in hand on Omi-Human is 200 for 15 to 30 seconds. Pro lists 2,000 to 5,000 credits at one price. AdMakeAI: one 30-second ad, two Sharp clips plus their two start-frame stills, 34 credits.
Credits refresh monthly and don't roll over, on MakeUGC as on our monthly plans. Because MakeUGC's price doesn't grow with length, a 90-second testimonial narrows the gap; for the 15 to 30-second ads most Meta tests run, it doesn't.
The $1 trial and refunds, in MakeUGC's own words
MakeUGC's Trial Policy covers "the $1 / 72-hour trial". Unless you cancel in account settings before it ends, it converts to the plan you picked at the standard price, and the $1 is neither refunded nor credited. What you make on it is limited too:
"Trial access is promotional, temporary, limited to the stated Trial Period and Credit allowance, granted entirely at MakeUGC's discretion, and licensed for evaluation only. Trial Output may be watermarked"MakeUGC Trial Policy, 2.3. Its list of trial abuse includes producing "finished campaign assets", which lets MakeUGC charge the full monthly price.
After the trial, its Refund Policy calls fees "final, non-refundable and non-creditable". A goodwill refund is possible only if you email within three business days of the charge, and not once half the period's credits are used.
MakeUGC reviews: what customers complain about
MakeUGC's Trustpilot page shows no rating: Trustpilot says it's unavailable due to a breach of its guidelines and that it removed a number of fake reviews. Of the 198 reviews left, 55% are one star and 41% five stars, and the one-stars since September are mostly about charges after cancelling.
"They confirm my cancellation and then they charge my card and the account is active again."
"the moment you go to purchase it, the offer secretly switches to a 3-day trial period instead."
"i have to actively email support to get refund frustrating"
"All my winning ads is because I used this platform. Very realistic material."
What $39 makes in AdMakeAI
Starter is $39 a month for 500 credits on our pricing page, with no trial to convert. 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, and you approve a 2-credit still and a free voiceover preview before paying for motion. A retake re-renders only the clip you change.
In the Video Agent the script can start from competitor ads you track in the Meta Ad Library. The same credits make static ads in Ad Set Studio and send the finished video to your Meta ad set as a paused draft. You cancel from the dashboard in two clicks and keep access to the end of the period.
Other MakeUGC alternatives
Creatify: best if you want avatar ads at the lowest monthly price
