Creatify pricing in 2026, and what one ad costs
Creatify charges $39 or $99 a month and bills 5 credits per 15 seconds of video, so the plan you need depends on how often you revise, far more than on how many ads you make.
Creatify publishes its prices, and yet the pages that rank for "creatify pricing" still disagree. One says a video costs "2 to 20 credits", another says 5 credits per 15 seconds, a third lists the Pro plan with 200 credits where Creatify's own page shows 300, and a fourth quotes annual prices as if they were the monthly ones.
Creatify sells AI-generated User Generated Content: short vertical ads in which an AI actor talks to the camera the way a customer would, built in a self-serve editor. We build the same kind of UGC product, so read this page knowing where it comes from. Our own price is on it, stated plainly, and so is the buyer for whom Creatify is the better choice.
We read Creatify's pricing page, its help center, its API billing docs, its refund policy and its terms on 26 September 2026. Our opinion after that reading: the first render is cheap on every plan, and what separates Starter from Pro is the price of changing your mind.
How much does Creatify cost?
Creatify costs $39 a month on Starter with 100 credits and $99 a month on Pro with 300 credits, and there is a free plan and a custom Enterprise tier. Those are the monthly prices on creatify.ai/pricing as we read it on 26 September 2026.
Pro is a slider rather than a single plan. The 300 credits are its floor, and the same card offers 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 5,000 credits a month at prices it shows only once you move it. Pro also buys the things Starter leaves out: 1,500 AI actors instead of 300, three custom avatars, five generations running in parallel instead of one, and videos up to 10 minutes instead of 2. Both paid plans remove the watermark.
The page also advertises savings of up to 50 percent on annual billing without printing the annual figure, which explains one of the disagreements. ezugc.ai, last updated on 9 March 2026, lists Starter at $19 and Pro at $49 with annual credit buckets. Both figures can be right: one is the monthly price, the other the yearly price divided by twelve.
The free plan is less settled. The pricing page says it includes 10 monthly credits, enough for up to two video ads, with a watermark on every export. Creatify's own help center FAQ, read the same day, says the free plan receives 5 free credits every month.
What does one Creatify credit buy?
Five credits buy 15 seconds of a video ad, an avatar video or an AI short, rounded up. That is the rate in Creatify's help center article on credit usage, last updated on 19 August 2026.
So Starter's 100 credits are twenty first renders of 15 seconds, ten of 30 seconds or five of 60. Pro's 300 are three times that. The rounding matters at the edges: a 16 second ad is two blocks of 15 and costs 10 credits, the same as a 30 second one, so cut your script to the block rather than just past it.
The "2 to 20 credits" range that wireflow.ai printed on 14 July 2026 is the same rule seen from the outside: 2 is roughly a sliver of a clip, 20 is a full minute. A Veo 3 clip is a flat 10 credits for at most 8 seconds, and the advanced tools have a cost that, in Creatify's own words, "cannot be determined upfront".
Credits are valid for two months, according to the help center FAQ, so a quiet quarter still loses the credits you did not spend.
Hey there :) clicking this would help us so much!
What does a finished Creatify ad cost once you count revisions?
On Starter a finished ad usually costs more than twice its first render, because every revision is billed at 3 credits per 15 seconds. On Pro the same revisions are free, as long as you keep the script, the avatar and the voice.
Take one 30 second ad and two rounds of changes. On Starter that is 10 credits for the first render plus 6 for each revision, 22 in total, so the 100 credits of a Starter month cover four finished ads, where the plan math printed on the ranking pages suggests ten. On Pro the same ad stays at 10 credits, and the 300 credits cover thirty of them.
That is our opinion of the Creatify price list in one line: the Pro upgrade buys you the right to fiddle. Three times the credits for two and a half times the price looks like a volume discount, and for anyone who revises it is worth far more than that. If you already know your script and plan to render it once, Starter is honest value. If you iterate on wording, Pro pays for itself faster than any per-video table shows!
One limit on the free revisions: change the script, the avatar or the voice and the revision is billed again, and a hook test is exactly a change of script. So price your month by counting the versions of each ad you will make, never the ads alone.
How does Go Rocket price the same ad?
We charge by the 15 seconds too: $9 for your first video, $19 for a single video after that, or $99 a month for 10 credits, where one credit is one finished 15 second video in one language. A 30 second video is 2 credits and a 60 second one is 4, as our pricing page stated when we read it on 26 September 2026.
Creatify and we landed on the same block of time, and for us the reason is the work itself. Our pipeline generates a video in 15 second segments, one take each, so a 15 second ad is one unit of work and one credit, and a longer one is simply more segments. Each language version of the same ad is one more credit.
The difference is what the credit buys. A Creatify credit buys render time inside an editor where you write the script, pick the actor and revise. Ours buys a finished ad: you paste the page, we write the script from it, and the video arrives about 15 minutes after checkout. You can buy one video without a subscription, and failed generations are refunded automatically. Creatify's refund policy, updated on 23 August 2026, calls every payment "final and non-refundable", and none of its policy pages we read says what happens to credits spent on a failed render.
The honest arithmetic cuts both ways. If you make dozens of variants a month and enjoy editing them yourself, Creatify's credits go further, and you should buy them.
Is the Creatify API priced differently from the app?
Yes, the API is sold as its own plans and counts in a different unit. Creatify's billing docs list API Starter at $99 a month for 500 credits and API Pro at $299 a month for 2,000.
The unit is where it gets confusing. In the app, a URL to video ad costs 5 credits per 15 seconds. In the API, URL to Video and AI Avatar cost 5 credits per 30 seconds, twice the video for the same credits. The Aurora model runs the other way: 5 credits per 15 seconds in the app, 1 credit per second through the API, with Aurora Fast at half that.
Both pages are accurate for their own product. The app and the API share a word and little else, and a budget planned from the app rate will be wrong on the API in both directions, depending on the model. The API docs we read say nothing about whether its credits expire or what a failed job costs, so ask before you build on them!
When is a human creator still worth $500?
When the ad works because a real person really used the product, and says so. An AI actor on any platform, ours included, cannot truthfully claim three months of use, a result on their own skin or a problem the product solved for them.
We enforce that line in our own software. The script validator that checks every ad we generate rejects invented usage history and measurable personal results, because an AI presenter saying "I lost four kilos" is a fabricated testimonial. That sentence is exactly the one a genuine customer with a camera can say, and the brands that need it should pay for it. The disclosure rules behind that line are in are UGC ads legal.
Paying for it means rates in the hundreds. Most working creators charge $150 to $300 for one vertical video, and usage rights for running it as a paid ad often cost as much again, which is how a finished ad reaches $500. Our UGC rates guide breaks the number down. For skincare, supplements, fitness and anything else where the viewer is buying a before and after, that money is well spent.
Which Creatify alternative fits which buyer?
Three alternatives fit three different buyers, and Creatify stays the right choice for a fourth: the marketer who wants a self-serve editor, a large actor library and many variants a month, ideally on Pro.
Arcads suits the performance team that ships many minute-long ads. It bills talking actors at 800 credits per started minute from $110 a month, as we set out in our Arcads pricing breakdown on 22 September 2026, so a 60 second ad costs the same there as a 15 second one.
HeyGen suits longer talking videos, such as explainers, onboarding and training. Its pricing page, read on 26 September 2026, lists a free plan with three videos a month of up to one minute, and Creator at $29 a month with videos up to 30 minutes.
Go Rocket suits the software founder with one page and no film crew. You paste the URL, we write the script from the page, an AI presenter delivers it in any of 21 languages, and the first video is $9, one-time, no subscription. Our guide to AI UGC covers what the research says about generated ads.
Whichever you pick, count the versions you will make next month and their length, then price that. If it is one short ad for a product with a web page, paste your page and start with one video for $9!
FAQ
Creatify has a free plan with a watermark on every export: its pricing page says 10 credits a month, enough for up to two video ads, while its help center FAQ says 5. Paid plans start at $39 a month for 100 credits, as read on 26 September 2026.
Yes, Creatify's help center says credits are valid for two months, so a credit you have not used within two months is lost. Payments themselves are final and non-refundable under its refund policy updated on 23 August 2026.
Yes, Creatify publishes its prices, terms of service and refund policy, and its terms assign you the copyright in the videos you make. Read the renewal and refund terms before subscribing, since plans renew automatically and payments are not refunded.
It is worth it for marketers who want to build and revise many ad variants themselves, and the Pro plan is the better value for anyone who revises, because revisions there are free if the script, avatar and voice stay the same. For a single finished ad without a subscription, a tool that sells one video at a time usually fits better.
For short ads Creatify is cheaper, because it bills 5 credits per 15 seconds while Arcads bills talking actors by the started minute from $110 a month. For many minute-long ads the gap narrows, because an Arcads minute costs the same as its first 15 seconds.
