| Which plan to pick | Pro 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. | A small business that mostly posts can stop at Essentials. Agencies and teams with more than five profiles need Professional. Paying monthly costs more than the yearly prices shown, and add-ons like Listening are quoted separately. |
