AI video ad makers compared: price per video in 2026
ReelMade is not the cheapest AI video ad maker per clip: by our arithmetic, subscription tools like Predis.ai, HeyGen and Creatify cost under $1.50 a short clip on their entry plans. ReelMade costs $9.99 a video, or from $3.96 on a plan, and does one job: a finished ad from your own website, with no avatars and no editing.

Price per video, tool by tool
Prices checked on each tool's own pricing page, in US dollars, cheapest way in first. Figures marked "estimate" are our arithmetic from the tool's own numbers; a short avatar clip is not the same thing as a finished ad with a voice-over.

Questions about AI video ad makers
Per clip, the avatar tools. By our arithmetic from their own pricing pages on October 28, 2026, Predis.ai's Core plan works out to about $0.58 a video and Creatify's Standard plan to about $1.36 per 15-second avatar video. HeyGen comes to about $0.50 per 30-second avatar video if a third-party credit rate holds. CapCut is free if you edit it yourself. ReelMade is $9.99 a video, or from $3.96 on a plan.
It depends on what you start with. With a website and no script, ReelMade makes a finished ad from your own photos. To test many AI-actor ads, Creatify or Arcads. For a talking presenter, HeyGen. For lots of posts published for you, Predis.ai. To edit it yourself for free, CapCut.
ReelMade reads your whole website and asks questions about your business first. Creatify and Topview start from a product link, Predis.ai from a product link or prompt, Pictory turns any URL into scenes, and letsbrag makes a twenty-second launch clip from a URL. Zeely lists a URL to video ad tool.
Because each video is a finished ad, not a clip: we read your whole site, write questions for your business, write and voice the script, and check real frames of the film. You pay $9.99 only for a video that finishes; one that fails gives its video back.
From each tool's own pricing page, read on October 28, 2026. Where a tool says how many videos a plan makes, we divided the price by that number and marked it as an estimate. Where it gives credits without a video count, we say so instead of guessing. HeyGen's figure uses a credit rate from a third-party review, labelled as such.
