Pros and cons

Creatify

Pros

  • Product URL to finished video ad workflow removes most manual scripting and editing.
  • Large avatar library: 300 actors on Standard and 1,500 on Pro.
  • Research tools (Competitor Tracker, AI Ad Library) sit alongside generation.
  • Free plan available, and monthly plans start at $15.
  • Public API and MCP access for teams that want to automate ad production.

Cons

  • Credit-based pricing means heavy video generation can exhaust a plan quickly; credits expire after 2 months.
  • Free plan is limited to 10 credits per month and watermarked exports.
  • Custom avatars and Ad Clone are only on Pro ($55/month) and above.
  • No released mobile app from Creatify found; it is a web product.

Runway

Pros

  • Combines video, image and audio generation and editing in one workspace
  • Offers Runway's own Gen-4.5 plus third-party models such as Seedance 2.0
  • Creative Agent builds videos from a conversation
  • Runway Dev API with Node and Python SDKs
  • Free plan with 125 credits that do not expire
  • Native iOS and Android apps

Cons

  • Credit-based pricing: a 5-second Gen-4.5 clip costs 60 credits, so the 625 credits on Standard cover about 10 such clips
  • Standard and Pro credits do not roll over at the end of the month
  • Some App Store reviewers complain about the cost of failed or unusable generations
  • 4K upscaling is unlimited only on Pro and Max
