Which should you pick?
Pick Superscale if you want: Cheap per generation on paper; Multi-brand and multi-seat; Built for paid-ads volume.
Pick Topview if you want: Cheap per video on yearly plans; API and MCP on every plan; Recreates a reference video's style; 5,000+ public avatars.
Superscale's per-generation number looks cheaper than Addy's, but a 'generation' there is usually a static or a short variation, not a full video ad. For agencies pumping out static ad variants at volume, Superscale is competitive. For portrait video Reels with a posting engine, 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- Something out of date?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.
