|---|---|---|---|
| Plans | Creative Hub $39/mo Teams that only need a shared place for assets and feedback. | StarterOur pick See website Testing a handful of scripts a month. | Free Free Seeing whether the analysis is worth paying for. |
Ad Launcher $99/mo, or $79/mo billed yearly Buyers who launch big batches into Meta every week. | Creator See website Brands producing video ads every week. | CopilotOur pick $139/mo Brands that want analysis and reports but will make changes themselves. | |
PlusOur pick $150/mo, or $119/mo billed yearly A brand or small agency that wants research and analytics together. | Pro Custom Teams and agencies at volume. | Operator $399/mo Teams that want agents to make approved changes in live accounts. | |
Growth $309/mo, or $249/mo billed yearly Agencies tracking many competitors across several clients. | Scale $799/mo Agencies and larger brands with many accounts. | ||
Pro $499/mo, or $399/mo billed yearly Larger agencies with big spend across many workspaces. | Enterprise Custom Brands spending over $1.5M a month. | ||
Enterprise Custom Large teams that need custom limits and a dedicated account team. | |||
| Which plan to pick | Plus on the yearly plan is where the value is: research and analytics for one brand at a price close to Foreplay alone. Add the Ad Launcher only if you launch dozens of ads a week by hand today. The Creative Hub on its own is hard to justify when Google Drive and Slack exist. | Arcads does not publish prices, so sign up for the trial and check the plan screen before you commit. Starter is enough to test whether the style works for your product; move up only once you have a winning script you want to localise or vary at scale. | Start on Free and let the read-only agent audit one account for a fortnight. Copilot is the sweet spot for most small brands, because the analysis is the valuable part and you can make the edits yourself. Go to Operator once you trust its suggestions enough to approve them from your phone. |
