Which tool fits what you have?
The best tool depends on what you start with. That can be a product page, a script, designs you already made, an idea, or someone who can talk on camera.

|---|---|---|
| A product page, no camera | Creatify | A script and an AI actor ad from the link |
| A script, no camera | MakeUGC | UGC-style ads with AI actors, in 50+ languages |
| Posts and emails already made in Canva | Canva | Videos that match your posts and emails |
| Time to edit each video by hand | CapCut | A free editor where you make every cut |

This is the whole editor
Highlight a phrase and a clip lands on those exact words. No timeline, no keyframes, no layers.
Creatify
Creatify makes product ads from a product page. You paste the link, it writes a script and an AI actor reads it in an ad template.
- Best for: brands that want to test many product ads without booking a creator.
- Starter has 300 AI actors and 200+ ad templates. Pro has 1,500 actors, 3 custom avatars and competitor ad tracking.
- It runs in the browser.
- Price: the free plan gives you 10 credits a month, up to 2 video ads, with a watermark. Starter is $39 a month for 100 credits, and Pro is $99.
- Tradeoff: credits run out fast on Starter if you make many versions, and the actors are stock faces, not your team.
MakeUGC
MakeUGC turns a script into a UGC-style ad, read by an AI actor. UGC means the ad looks as if a customer filmed it on their phone.
- Best for: brands that want ads of an actor holding the product, in many languages, from one script.
- You pick one of 1,000+ AI actors or build your own. The editor adds captions, music and b-roll.
- It works in 50+ languages. Growth, at $79 a month, makes many versions at once. Pro, at $149, adds videos of the actor holding your product and turns a PDF into a video.
- Price: there is no free plan, but there is a $1 trial for 72 hours. Startup is $59 a month for 500 credits, shown at a promotional discount.
- Tradeoff: the prices are promotional, and the face is a stock AI actor unless you build your own.
Canva
Canva is a design tool that also edits video. Its video editor sits on the same canvas as your posts and emails.
- Best for: brands whose videos sit next to designed posts, emails and packaging.
- You drag clips, product shots and text onto a timeline. Magic Video and Highlights make a first draft for you.
- Adding captions takes one click, and the brand kit keeps your colours, fonts and logo on every design.
- Price: there is a free plan. Canva Pro is US$144 a year for one person.
- Tradeoff: for an ad where someone talks, you still time every cut yourself.
CapCut
CapCut is a free video editor for your phone, your computer and the browser. You do all the editing yourself.
- Best for: small brands that edit a few product videos a week by hand.
- It has a big library of templates, effects, filters and stickers.
- Pro adds auto captions, background removal and noise reduction.
- Price: free, with 8K export. Pro is $19.99 a month or $179.99 a year, set in the app and different by region.
- Tradeoff: you make every edit yourself, so each ad takes longer.
invideo AI
invideo AI makes a video from a sentence. You type a prompt or paste a script, and it builds the video from stock footage, an AI voice and captions.
- Best for: brands with nothing filmed that need explainer or list-style videos.
- It can also make new clips with AI, and you can fix things on a timeline.
- It runs in the browser and on iOS and Android.
- Price: Basic is $9 a month billed yearly, with 190 credits. Pro is $25 a month billed yearly, or $30 monthly. The pricing page lists no free plan.
- Tradeoff: the video is built from stock and generated clips, so your own product footage is not the centre of it.
Prices and free plans
Four of the six cost nothing to start. They also charge in different ways.
- Canva and CapCut charge per person.
- Creatify, MakeUGC and invideo AI charge in credits.
- Cutroom charges in credits too. A 30-second ad costs about 110 credits, and Lite's 1,250 credits a month cover about 11 of them.
