Which should you pick?
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.
Pick Billo if you want: Real human creators, 5,000+ in its network; Full usage rights for ads and your channels once approved; No subscription needed to order videos.
Zeely is built for small businesses that want ads made and launched on Meta in one place, and launching on every plan is its real edge (Addy's Meta launching is Pro and up). The catch is cost clarity: Zeely does not publish what a video costs in credits, a third-party report puts it near $6 per video on Starter, and running ads through Zeely adds fees of up to 12%. Addy's 15-second ads cost about $1, cover 16 formats and post organically to Reels, TikTok and Shorts. Pick Zeely if paid Meta campaigns are your whole plan.

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- Something out of date?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.
