Which should you pick?
Pick Creatify if you want: Large actor library; About $1 per 15-second avatar video on yearly plans; Free tier with watermark.
Pick Zeely if you want: Meta Business Partner with bulk Meta ad launching; Talking reels, AI avatars and AI twin; Recreates competitor ads and trending TikToks.
Creatify is a solid ad-creative tool for paid media teams, and on yearly billing its avatar videos cost about the same per clip as Addy's. The difference is scope: Addy writes the concepts from your website, renders 16 formats beyond talking avatars, and posts to Reels, TikTok and Shorts with a learning loop. Both have an actor library and let you use your own face; only Addy remixes a winning ad from a link. If you want an avatar library for paid ads, Creatify is a good pick. If you want organic Reels plus ads from one agent, Addy.

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.
- Something out of date? Tell us on the contact page and we will correct the page and its date.
