What we asked of every tool

  • Does it make video ads?

    With AI actors or avatars, or from a product link.

  • Does it make image ads?

    Static ads, in the sizes your placements need.

  • Does it write the copy?

    Ad copy, or the script of a video ad.

  • Can it start from a proven ad?

    A competitor's ad, or one of your best.

  • How far does it go?

    The actors, languages, sizes and AI models it offers.

  • Can you try it first?

    A free plan, a free trial or a money-back guarantee.

How we checked and ordered

  • We read each vendor's own website (homepage, pricing, features, help, terms) in October 2026, and nothing else.
  • A check mark means the vendor's pages list that kind of ad; where they say nothing, the table says not listed.
  • Crush is our product and is listed first. The other 8 follow on creative capability alone: first the tools built to make ads, then the ones that make ads as one part of running them; within each, more kinds of ads and more depth come first.
  • On creative alone, Creatify, AdCreative.ai, Zeely, Pencil, Arcads and AdStellar go further than Crush, with AI actors, every ad size or many AI models. Crush makes video, images and copy, and launches and optimizes the ads on Meta too.
  • Crush facts come from our live pricing and today's product, not plans.
  • Out of date? Email [email protected] and we will fix it.

What is the best AI tool for ad creatives?

It depends on the ad. For one tool that makes your Meta ads, launches them and optimizes them, our pick is Crush, our product.
