THE PITCH

I created hundreds of ads in one click.

AdCreative.ai is a web-based platform that lets you create hundreds of ads with no creative skills needed.

THE EXPERIENCE

First, you must sign up and put down your credit card information. You get a seven-day free trial, and the pricing is structured by personal use, business, or if you are an advertising agency.

The interface was intuitive, so onboarding and figuring things out was relatively easy. You can import your brand assets directly from your website and then choose the format for your ads, including options for popular social platforms.

If you don’t have assets, their AI can generate marketing copy and suggestions while you choose photography from their stock library. When working with photos, you can remove backgrounds, and when you choose an ad you like from the hundreds it generates, you can adjust the layout a bit further to your liking.

Finally, on the marketing side, you can scan competitor websites for insight into website traffic and other metrics. Additionally, your created ads can be scored for effectiveness based on the best practices in marketing.

THE VERDICT

I found AdCreative.ai promising, but the ad design quality was generic and needed a bit of adjustment to look just right. The accuracy of competitor marketing data is also unclear. Design quality and data validation improvements could ultimately make it a great solution for budget-conscious businesses.

Good to Know

  • Subscription-based with a free trial period
  • Generates ads for all the popular social channels
  • Offers free and paid stock photography selections
  • Creates basic video ads (think PowerPoint-style animations)
  • New features like the ad editing studio are in beta
