| Pricing | $29/mo Creator (600 credits/month), or $24/mo billed annually · free tier: $0 — 3 videos per month (help centre notes 1–3 depending on region), 1-minute maximum, 720p share link, 1 Custom Digital Twin, 500+ stock avatars, 30+ languages, 3 Video Agent videos/month | $39/mo (Cat Mode, billed monthly) or $19/mo billed yearly — 15 videos/mo and 350 generative AI credits/mo · free tier: Free plan: up to 5 videos, 720p, 30-second maximum per video, standard AI voices, no credit card required |
| Pricing model | Credit-based subscription (monthly or annual), with a free video quota tier | Subscription with monthly video quotas plus generative AI credits |
| Best for | Teams that already have a winning ad script and need it produced in 20 markets, B2B and SaaS video programmes, and any buyer whose procurement requires SSO, SCIM and audit logging at a published price. | Solo marketers, affiliates and small e-commerce teams who want cheap, high-volume faceless or avatar-fronted short-form video with commercial rights included, and who will start on the free 5-video plan and pay $49/month annually for Super Cat once custom avatars and voice clones are needed. |
| Avoid if | Avoid HeyGen if your entire bet is creative that looks like an unpolished phone video shot by a real customer, or if you need high-volume hook testing that lands directly in a Meta or TikTok ad account — Arcads and Creatify are shaped for those jobs. | Avoid Zebracat if you are buying specifically to run high-volume AI UGC ads on Meta or TikTok: there is no verified ad-account integration, no hook-permutation batch engine, monthly video caps of 15–40 on the affordable tiers, and the only independent output-quality signal describes stitched images rather than true motion. Also avoid it if you need API access below the $599+/month Enterprise tier, or if you need a refund window longer than 7 days that survives downloading a file. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
