| 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 the 14-day trial on Growth. If you post less than once a day to each account, Starter is enough, but its 30-post cap runs out fast if you post daily. Scale is for agencies juggling several brands. | Basic covers a business sending a few campaigns a month. Medium is the better fit for teams and small agencies, where 50 exports and two seats run out quickly. Extra members cost $10 each a month. |
