Creatify pricing in 2026: plans, credits and the real cost per ad

Creatify's cheapest paid plan, Starter, costs $39 a month, or $19 a month billed yearly, for 100 credits. The Free plan gives you 10 credits a month with watermarked exports, enough for two video ads of up to 15 seconds. A standard video ad uses 5 credits per 15 seconds, so a 30-second ad costs $3.90 on monthly Starter and $1.90 on annual Starter.

Below is the full Creatify pricing picture, from the Pro tiers and credit costs to the refund rules, then the alternatives worth comparing.

Creatify pricing at a glance

From creatify.ai/pricing, in US dollars. Creatify says annual billing saves up to 50%.

Creatify Pro credit tiers

Pro is not one price. A slider on the Pro card sets your monthly credits. On monthly billing the price per credit falls from the 1,000-credit tier up; on annual billing it stays between about $0.16 and $0.18 at every tier.

Prices from each step of the Pro slider; per-credit figures are our arithmetic. On monthly billing the slider's second step is labelled 500 until you select it, then shows 600 credits for $199. On annual billing, the 600-credit tier is cheaper per credit than the 1,000 and 2,000 tiers.

Two things stand out. Annual billing roughly halves the price per credit on Starter and the smaller Pro tiers. And on monthly billing, 600 credits cost almost exactly what 300 do per credit, so the bigger tiers only pay off from 1,000 credits up.

What a Creatify credit buys

Creatify's help center sets the credit cost by tool and video length. For most tools the app shows the exact cost before you render. The exceptions are Agent, Ad Flow and Ad Clone, where Creatify says the cost is variable and cannot be worked out in advance.

From Creatify's help article "Credit Usage Billing and Validity" (updated August 19, 2026) and the credit tooltips on the pricing page. The pricing page's Pro tooltip puts a video ad at roughly 2 to 20 credits.

Creatify's FAQ also separates edits from revisions. Manual edits to an exported project, such as text, captions, trims, media swaps and layout, are free and unlimited. Anything that re-runs the AI, such as a new video, avatar, voice or script, counts as a new generation and uses credits.

Creatify's FAQ also says the AI Shorts, Product Video and Video Translation tools left the dashboard at the end of May 2026 but still work from direct links in the help center.

What a Creatify ad really costs

What matters is credits per ad times the price per credit. For Creatify's standard Video Ad and Avatar Video tools, at 5 credits per 15 seconds:

Our arithmetic on Creatify's published prices and credit rates, before revisions and taxes. Ads a month assume every credit goes to 30-second ads with no retakes.

Those are best cases. Four things push the real cost up:

• Rounding. Length is rounded up to the next 15 seconds, so a 16-second ad costs the same 10 credits as a 30-second one.
• Revisions on Starter. Each AI revision of a 30-second ad costs 6 more credits. Two revisions turn a 10-credit ad into 22 credits, or $8.58 on monthly Starter. On Pro, revisions are free while the script, avatar and voice stay the same.
• Generative clips. A Veo 3 clip of up to 8 seconds in the Product Video tool is a flat 10 credits: $3.90 on monthly Starter, $1.63 on annual Pro 300.
• Agent, Ad Flow and Ad Clone. These are variable, and Creatify publishes no range for them. Its free plan article says 10 credits is not enough to finish a video with Ad Flow or Agent (Ad Clone follows the Agent's rules), so expect more than 10 credits per finished ad, over $3.30 on monthly Pro 300. Creatify warns that credits can add up quickly.

What each Creatify plan includes

The comparison table on the pricing page shows where the plans differ beyond credits:

• Starter: 300 AI actors, 50+ premium AI models, 200+ ad templates, one generation at a time, videos up to 2 minutes, one seat, one brand space, 5GB of asset storage, the Agent, and the Ad Launcher for Meta, TikTok and AppLovin.
• Pro adds: 1,500 AI actors and 3 custom avatars, 100+ models, 500+ templates, up to 5 generations in parallel, videos up to 10 minutes, 2 seats and 2 brand spaces included (up to 5 of each on the plan card), 10GB of storage, a competitor ad tracker for up to 10 brands, Ad Flow, Ad Clone, Ad Insights, the AI Performance Agent, and Creatify's MCP for Claude and ChatGPT.
• Enterprise adds: custom credits, seats and brands, Creatify Studio (a done-for-you service), custom model fine-tuning, white-label support, an enterprise SLA with IP assignment, API volume discounts and a dedicated account manager.

Creatify's own pages disagree on one point. The Starter card lists "AdFlow (200+ Templates)" and the free plan article says Ad Flow is available on Free, but the comparison table marks Ad Flow, Ad Clone, Ad Insights, the competitor tracker and the Performance Agent as Pro and above. If Ad Flow is the reason you are buying, check it in the app before you pay for Starter.

Credit rules: expiry, plan changes and refunds

• Expiry. Creatify's FAQ says unused credits are valid for 2 months, so they carry into the next month and then expire. The tooltip on the annual Pro plan says its credits expire yearly.
• Free credits. The Free plan gives you 10 new credits each month. Free credits do not move to a paid plan when you upgrade.
• More credits. Creatify's help article on getting more credits describes upgrading your plan. We found no one-off credit packs on the pricing page or in the help center.
• Plan changes. A change starts a new billing cycle, and unused credits stay available through it. You cannot switch away from an annual plan until you have fewer than 10 credits left.
• Cancellation. You can cancel any time; your plan and remaining credits stay active until the end of the billing period. The cancellation flow also offers a Pause Plan option.
• Refunds. Creatify's refund policy says payments are final and non-refundable.
• Usage rights. Creatify's FAQ says you own your creatives, even after your plan ends, and that its stock footage is royalty-free.

Creatify API pricing

The API is sold separately from the app plans, and it bills some tools in 30-second steps rather than 15.

From docs.creatify.ai/billing; per-credit figures are our arithmetic. URL to Video and AI Avatar cost 5 credits per 30 seconds; Aurora 1 credit per second (Aurora Fast 0.5); Boreal 1, 3 or 12 credits per 10 seconds at 720p, 1080p or 2K; Ad Clone 12 credits per 5 seconds; an HTML interactive ad 10 credits.

At those rates, a 30-second URL-to-video ad over the API costs about $0.99 on API Starter and $0.75 on API Pro.

Is Creatify worth the price?

Creatify is good value when your ads are short, avatar-led and built from product links: under $1 for a 15-second ad on annual Starter, and $1.60 to $1.79 for 30 seconds on annual Pro, depending on the tier. It costs more when you pay monthly, revise a lot on Starter, lean on Agent, Ad Flow or Ad Clone, or need Pro-only tools. Payments are non-refundable, so spend the Free plan's 10 credits on your own product before you commit to a year.

Be clear about what the 5-credit rate buys: an AI actor presenting your product, put together with the images, video and text you upload or pull from your product link. If you want the scene itself generated, with the product used, worn or unboxed, that runs through Creatify's generative tools, priced per clip or variable, or through a different kind of tool.

How we checked

We read Creatify's pricing page with the monthly and annual toggles, stepped through every tier of the Pro slider, opened each credit tooltip and FAQ answer, and read the help center articles on credit usage, the free plan, getting more credits, cancellation and refunds, plus the API billing docs. We saved screenshots of the pages we quote. Every cost per ad and per credit on this page is our own arithmetic on those published figures, before taxes and retakes.

We chose the alternatives from the tools that appear in the US Google results and ranking roundups for "creatify pricing" and "creatify alternatives", and took each price from the vendor's own pricing page or help center, in US dollars. Arcads publishes no plan prices, so we give only the credit rules from its help center. We did not run a scored quality test, so there are no quality scores here; try your own product before you commit.

How to keep your cost per ad down

• Price the ad, not the plan. Credits per ad times price per credit: $0.39 a credit on monthly Starter, $0.19 on annual Starter.
• Cut to the credit step. Keep Creatify avatar ads at 15 or 30 seconds; 16 seconds costs as much as 30.
• Lock the script before you render. Manual edits are free; on Starter every AI revision costs credits.
• Test before a yearly plan. Annual billing is cheaper per credit, but Creatify's payments are non-refundable.
• Match the tool to the ad. An avatar reading a script and a generated scene with your product in it are different ads, priced differently. Our guide to what UGC ads are and our roundup of the best AI UGC video generators cover both.
