# Superside alternatives > Six Superside alternatives for ad creative and design subscriptions, with what each does best and prices read off their own sites on 20 Oct 2026. - **Author**: Marxx - **Published**: 2026-11-08 - **Category**: AI creative tools - **URL**: https://marxx.ai/library-alternatives/superside-alternatives --- The main Superside alternatives are Penji and Kimp for flat monthly design subscriptions with public prices, Design Pickle for a matched design team, and AI tools such as Pencil and Creatify if you want to make ads in house. Superside lists a $15,000 monthly minimum on an annual term (checked 2026-10-20). ## Why teams look for an alternative Superside sells creative services by subscription. Its pricing page lists a Dedicated plan, a Flex plan and one-off High-impact projects. Subscriptions start at a $15,000 monthly minimum on an annual term. Each has a monthly budget and a $1,000 software fee. Every subscription includes unlimited users and asset storage, AI-powered briefing and its Superads Pro creative analytics. On the Flex plan, unused budget rolls over for up to three months. Teams look elsewhere for a lower monthly cost, a shorter term, or to make ads themselves. Superside also lists no price per plan, so you still need a call to compare. Say your team files 30 design requests a month. Superside's $15,000 minimum works out to $500 a request ($15,000 / 30). Penji Essentials at $995 works out to about $33 a request ($995 / 30). Kimp Graphics at $1,397 is about $47 a request. Kimp's first-four-months price of $698.50 is about $23. That is the average only if you file exactly 30. File fewer and the average rises. A video or motion request also takes more effort than a static one. ## Quick comparison | Tool | Best for | Starting price | |---|---|---| | Superside | Senior creative teams on subscription | $15,000/month minimum, annual term | | Penji | Flat-rate design and motion | Essentials $995/month | | Kimp | Unlimited requests and brands | Graphics $1,397/month | | Design Pickle | A matched design team | Not listed publicly | | Pencil | Making ad creative in house with AI | Core $14/month | | Creatify | Making video ads in house with AI | Standard $15/month; free plan | | Marxx | A creative strategist, plus software | See [pricing](/pricing) | Prices read on each company's own site on 20 October 2026, in dollars. ## Penji Essentials is $995 a month for 2 active workstreams and 1-day turnaround.
