AdCreative.ai Starter is $39 a month for 20 downloads. Generating is unlimited and a credit is spent only when you download, so each ad you keep costs $1.95. AdMakeAI Starter is also $39, for 500 credits; a Fast ad costs 2 of them and downloading costs nothing.
AdCreative does several things we don't: creative scoring, product and fashion photoshoots, iStock photos, and seats for a team of 10 on Professional.
Per download vs per generation: the keep rate decides
On AdCreative, 40 drafts cost nothing and each one you download costs $1.95. On AdMakeAI, each Fast draft costs $0.156 and downloads are free.
Scenario: 40 drafts, keep 10
Two $39 plans, one batch of drafts
AdCreative.ai Starter
$19.50
$1.95 a download, 10 of 20 this month
AdMakeAI Starter
$6.24
$0.156 a Fast draft, 80 of 500 credits
AdMakeAI Fast costs $13.26 less for these 10 ads. Break-even: keep more than 1 in 12 at Fast, 1 in 3 at Sharp.
AdMakeAI Fast costs less per ad you keep once you keep more than about 1 draft in 12, and Sharp ($0.62) once you keep more than 1 in 3. At AdCreative's yearly sale price ($1.00 a download, against our yearly $0.11 a Fast ad) the line moves to about 1 in 9. If you generate 50 drafts to find 2 keepers, AdCreative costs less and you should stay.
Keep all 15: what one set costs on AdMakeAI
The 15 ads at the top of this page are one batch from Ad Set Studio: one product photo, a short brief, Fast quality. The button showed the price before the click, the balance went from 500 to 470, and all 15 download at no extra cost. On Starter that whole test is $2.34.
With downloads free, you pick what to run on merit, not on how many downloads are left this month. The ads you don't launch this week stay in the set as next week's refresh, already paid for.
If AdCreative's layouts started looking alike across your campaigns, build the brief from your market instead. Borrow from competitors, on that same panel, opens the ads you've collected from the Meta Ad Library and adds the one you pick to the brief. On paid plans the ads you choose go into your Meta ad set as paused drafts, 3 credits a push, and video clips run on the same $39 plan at 5, 15 or 50 credits.

Prices checked October 18, 2026 on adcreative.ai and our pricing page. AdCreative's yearly prices, and its quarterly ones ($29, $185 and $749 for the base tiers), ran under a "FATHERS'S DAY PREP SALE" banner (50% and 25% off) that day, so treat them as sale prices. Per its plan grid, Creative Scoring, video, custom templates and the Compliance Checker start on Professional, and Ultimate adds 25 brands, 20 users and fine-tuning. A struck-through $599 also sits beside Ultimate's $999. Credit counts rose during 2026 (Atria's August breakdown shows 10, 50 and 100).
A credit is one download according to AdCreative's FAQ; its subscriber terms say generating may use credits too.
The 7-day trial gives 10 credits and shows off Creative Scoring and video, which the plan grid crosses out on the $39 Starter. When the trial ends it renews into a paid plan. AdCreative says it reminds you first; it doesn't say whether it asks for a card. A refund needs you to ask within 7 days on monthly or 30 on yearly, and not to have used the platform, generating included.
"I was then charged an annual fee after the 6 day trial which is completely forgotten about."
Switching? Check your renewal date first: the terms set the cancellation window "within seven (7) days before the end date of your monthly cycle", and 30 days before the anniversary on yearly plans. Spend leftover credits on the drafts you want, then try AdMakeAI on your own brand with 30 free credits. Running the ads in campaigns takes a paid plan, from $39.
What AdCreative.ai's one-star reviews are about
AdCreative has 3.5 stars from 4,607 reviews on Trustpilot: 55% five-star and 33% one-star. This autumn's one-stars are nearly all about billing and refunds, and many of the five-stars thank a support agent for sorting one out.
"They took a whole year of subscription renewal without any notice."
"Cancelled my subscription but found out no option to delete card or account."
"The customer service team responded promptly and processed the refund quickly."
