Where Topview is strong
Topview strengths
- Cheap per video on yearly plans
- API and MCP on every plan
- Recreates a reference video's style; 5,000+ public avatars
Topview weaknesses
- Monthly-billed prices are not published
- No posting or scheduling documented
- Vendor says credit costs can change without notice
Verdict
Topview is a capable ad generator: paste a link or a reference video to copy its style, with API and MCP access on every plan. On yearly billing its agent videos cost from about 50¢ to $1.80 per 15 seconds, so Ultra is cheaper per clip than Addy. Only yearly prices are public, and nothing in Topview posts the ads for you. Addy bills monthly with 15-second ads from 99¢, writes concepts across 16 formats and posts to Reels, TikTok and Shorts with a learning loop. Pick Topview if you will commit to a year and run the posting yourself.

How we compared
- Prices are each vendor's public monthly list price in US dollars, last checked October 26, 2026. Yearly-billing discounts are noted next to the plan where the vendor publishes them.
- Cost per video ad is the monthly price divided by how many short portrait video ads the plan buys. When a vendor sells credits or minutes, we convert at its published rate; when it publishes no rate, we use third-party reports and label the figure as reported.
- Features come from each vendor's own site and docs. A dash means we could not confirm a feature, not that it is missing.
- Addy is our product. To keep that from tilting the page, tools are listed alphabetically, Addy is scored on the same criteria, and its limits are published on the facts page.
