Pick AdCreative.ai if most of your spend sits in static placements
If most of your spend sits in static placements — display, banners, feed statics at volume — a static-first generator will produce more usable output per hour than we will, and they have a longer track record at it.
Pick us if your spend is in Reels, Stories and TikTok
If your spend is in Reels, Stories and TikTok, you need video that was cut for those placements rather than a static adapted into motion. We also return still frames from each cut, so you get statics as a by-product instead of running two tools.
Questions, answered.
Do you make static ads?
Not as the main output. You get still frames from each video, which are usable as statics and thumbnails.
Which is better for a Shopify brand?
If the account's spend is mostly in video placements, video-first. If it is mostly feed statics and shopping, a static-first tool will serve you better.
Get video cut for the placement, and statics for free
Every video returns still frames you can run as feed statics, so one brief covers both.
