AdCreative.ai
If your Meta account is short of still images in enough sizes and versions, AdCreative.ai is the cheaper fix: Starter costs $39 a month on monthly billing for 20 downloads, so each banner you keep costs $39 / 20 = $1.95, and generating is unlimited (AdCreative.ai pricing, checked on 26 October 2026).
Creatify
If your catalogue is wide and your scripts are thin, start in Creatify, which writes the script from a pasted product page; Pro costs $55 a month on monthly billing for 280 credits and adds 1,500 AI actors (Creatify pricing, checked on 26 October 2026).
