## What Creatify offers

Creatify is an ad generator first, not a timeline editor. It makes video ads from a product link, with AI avatars, UGC-style ads, image ads and an Ad Clone tool. Ads target Meta, Google and TikTok.

Free is 10 credits a month with a watermark. Standard lists $10 beside $15, with 55 credits and no watermark. Pro lists $38 beside $55, with 280 credits, 1,500 AI actors and a Competitor Ad Tracker. The page does not say which price is monthly, and a banner offers 30% off annual plans. Credits expire after 2 months (checked 3 Nov 2026).

## HeyGen

An avatar video maker, not a timeline editor. It lists Avatar IV and V, voice cloning and video translation into 175+ languages with lip sync. Free is 3 videos a month, up to 1 minute each, with a watermark. Leaving HeyGen too? See [HeyGen alternatives](/alternatives/heygen-alternatives).

## Synthesia

Made for business video such as training, sales and marketing. It lists stock avatars, personal avatars from your own photo or video, and dubbing in 70+ languages with optional lip sync. Basic is free with a Synthesia watermark.

## invideo

Written in lower case by the brand. Text to video with models such as Veo 3.1, Sora 2 and Kling AI, a storyboard step, and chat editing on a multitrack timeline. The pricing page lists no free plan, and plan names changed recently.

## Captions

Captions (by Mirage) lists AI avatars and digital twins, Chat to Edit, Lipdub for dubbed audio, and captions in Hindi and Hinglish. Free credits are one-time and do not refresh.

## Pictory

A browser app that turns scripts, URLs, blog posts or PowerPoint into video. It lists AI voiceovers, stock and custom avatars and captions. The Free Trial lasts 14 days, covers 3 videos and carries a watermark.

## Marxx

We make Marxx. [Marxx's production canvas](/features/production-canvas) makes ads with AI models, builds variants and publishes them to Meta. It is priced per workspace.

## Worked example: 10 ads

Say you make 10 video ads of 30 seconds each. Creatify's FAQ says a video ad costs 5 credits per 15 seconds, rounded up. So one 30-second ad costs 10 credits, and 10 ads cost 100 credits.

- Free has 10 credits, so it covers 1 ad.
- Standard has 55 credits, so it covers 5 ads.
- Pro has 280 credits, so it covers 28 ads.

Credits expire after 2 months. Plan figures checked 3 Nov 2026.

## How to choose

1. Decide who is on screen: an avatar, a creator-style actor or your own footage.
2. Add up the credits you need a month, as above.
3. Make one test ad in each free plan and look for a watermark.
4. Compare [Creatify vs Arcads](/compare/creatify-vs-arcads) or the [best AI avatar tools for ads](/best/best-ai-avatar-tools-for-ads).
