Which plan to pickPro is the plan that makes Creatify worth it, because ad cloning, competitor tracking and the ad agent start there. Try Standard or the free plan first to see how many credits your typical video uses. The API is priced separately, from $99 a month.Start on Free and build your welcome and abandoned cart flows before you pay anything. Move to Email when you cross 250 contacts, and only add SMS once email is working, because text messages cost extra per send.There is one main plan, priced by your spend. Use the 7-day trial on a small part of your budget, check the price shown in the app for your spend level, and only add Tracking Pro if your Meta numbers clearly undercount sales.
