Creatify (Ad Clone) alternative profile

Input: An ad URL plus a product URL (source). Free allowance: Free plan: 10 credits a month, “up to 2 video ads or 20 image ads” (source).
Creatify’s Ad Clone page says it can “remake any ad from a URL”: you supply a winning ad’s URL and your product URL, and it keeps the hook, pacing and beats, “never their brand or lines”. It says its agent can find long-running ads in the Meta Ad Library, and shows variations such as new hooks, a Spanish version, creator or scene variants and a 4:5 feed version. The page offers “Your first video is FREE · No credit card”.
On the pricing page, Ad Clone is listed in Pro and above. Paid plans are Standard ($15/month, $10 billed yearly, 55 credits), Pro ($55, $38 yearly, 280 credits), Max ($95, $66 yearly, 730 credits) and Business ($195, $136 yearly, from 1,500 credits with 10 seats); Enterprise is by contact.

Dollar prices are shown in the app rather than on that page; yearly billing is 20% off. The trial needs a card (no charge during the trial), gives 1,000 credits for 72 hours and then converts to Starter monthly.
On Starter and Creator, generation stops when credits run out; on Pro and above, overages roll to the next bill and unused credits roll over without expiring. Every plan includes all video models, with output up to 4K (models article), and the AI agent “Mark”.

Clone Cut as an alternative
Who it suits: Brands and agencies that own or license a reference ad and want to reuse its structure with their own product, while keeping the people unchanged.
Upload a licensed reference video plus product images, logo, background and copy; review a plan and credit quote; confirm; results go to a private Library. Existing people stay unchanged. Purchases are currently closed; see pricing. Read clone viral video ads for the workflow.
How to pick an alternative
- List what you need to keep from the reference: people, hook, pacing or only the general format.
- Check the input each tool accepts and whether you have rights to that input.
- Compare free allowances and whether free use is commercial.
- Check credit expiry and rollover.
- Test your top two with the same brief.
