# Billo alternatives > Six Billo alternatives for UGC ads, from creator marketplaces to AI actors, with what each does best and prices read off their own sites on 20 Oct 2026. - **Author**: Marxx - **Published**: 2026-11-03 - **Category**: AI creative tools - **URL**: https://marxx.ai/library-alternatives/billo-alternatives --- The main Billo alternatives are Insense and Collabstr for hiring creators on a marketplace, JoinBrands for low per-video starting prices, and Creatify or Arcads if you want AI actors instead of people. Billo shows no price per video on its public site (checked 2026-10-20), and its managed service starts from $2,000 a month. ## What Billo does well, and why teams look elsewhere Billo is a creator marketing platform where brands order videos from creators. Its FAQ says that once you approve a video, all the licensing rights to it are yours. Its help center says brands get up to 2 edit or reshoot requests per piece of content. You can buy prepaid packs, and pack funds are valid for 12 months from purchase. Its terms say you also pay platform fees, which show in your wallet. Billo does not list a price per video publicly. Its pricing page sends visitors to a login screen. Its managed service starts from $2,000 a month, billed monthly in advance. Teams look elsewhere for a published price per video, or for AI actors instead of people. ## A worked example Say you want 10 basic videos to test ten hooks. JoinBrands lists UGC videos from $25. Ten of those start at 10 x $25 = $250, plus its 15% platform fee on the free plan, which is $37.50. That is $287.50. A starting price is not a quote, because real prices rise with length and creator. Billo shows no per-video price without a login, so send it the same brief and ask for a quote you can set beside this one. ## Quick comparison | Tool | Best for | Starting price | |---|---|---| | Billo | Ordered creator videos | Not listed publicly; managed service from $2,000/month | | Insense | Creator marketplace with Meta partnership ad links | Brand plan from $500/month, billed quarterly | | Collabstr | Hiring creators directly | Free; Pro $249/month, billed yearly | | JoinBrands | Low per-video starting prices | Free; Start-up $99/month | | Creatify | AI video and image ads | Free; Standard $15/month | | Arcads | AI actors | Not listed publicly; free trial | | Marxx | Making and publishing ads from your own results | Per workspace; see [pricing](/pricing) | Prices read on each company's own site on 2026-10-20, in dollars. ## Insense A platform for creator ads. Brand is $500 a month billed quarterly, or $400 a month billed yearly. It adds a 10% marketplace fee, and creator payments are extra. Plans include links to Meta partnership ads. See [Insense alternatives](/alternatives/insense-alternatives). ## Collabstr A marketplace where you hire creators directly. Its site lists 1.3m+ creators. The free plan charges a 10% hiring fee. Pro is $249 a month billed yearly. Premium is $333 a month billed yearly, with a 5% fee. ## JoinBrands Pay-as-you-go is free with a 15% platform fee. Start-up is $99 a month with a 12% fee. Pro is $299 and Max is $499. Its price list starts UGC images at $10 and UGC videos at $25. ## Creatify Makes video and image ads with AI, including avatar videos. The free plan gives 10 credits a month, enough for up to 2 video ads or 20 image ads, with a watermark. Standard is $15 a month, or $12 billed yearly. ## Arcads AI actors for UGC-style video, with 1,000+ actors on its home page. The home page lists no prices and says a free trial is available. See [Arcads alternatives](/alternatives/arcads-alternatives). ## Marxx We make Marxx, so weigh this. Its production canvas makes ads and publishes them to Meta. It also reads your connected Meta ad account in full, with creative tagged by hook, angle, format and offer, so the next brief starts from what ran. See the [production canvas](/features/production-canvas). ## How to choose 1. Decide between human creators and AI actors first. They cost and feel different. 2. Add up every cost: creator pay, platform fee, product shipping and any extra edits. 3. Write one clear brief and send it to two tools. Use this guide to [brief UGC creators](/guides/how-to-brief-ugc-creators). 4. Compare the first two videos, not the price lists. ## FAQ ### How much does Billo cost?
