Questions

+How much does a UGC video ad cost?

Freelance UGC creators usually charge $150 to $400 per video, before usage rights and revisions. Agencies often charge around $500 or more per finished ad. AI ad tools range from under $1 to several dollars per ad.

+How many ad creatives should I test per month?

A common starting point is 3 to 5 new creatives per ad set per week, so 20 to 40 a month for one product. Creative fatigue on Reels and TikTok sets in within one to three weeks.

+Why is Addy cheaper per ad?

Addy writes and scores hooks before anything renders, so you only pay to render the ads you approve. Short 9:16 clips also keep generation cost low.

+Where do the competitor numbers come from?

Each vendor's public pricing page, or third-party reports where a vendor doesn't publish prices. See the details on our comparison pages, or email hello@use-addy.site if something is out of date.
