Arcads vs Crush pricing
Arcads, from its website
- Arcads does not publish prices. Its /pricing address returned a "not found" page when we checked, and plans are shown inside the app.
- It runs on credits. Its terms say unused credits are not refunded or carried forward when you cancel or downgrade.
- Its terms ask you to cancel at least 72 hours before the end of the current period.
Crush
Crush starts with a paid plan of $19.95 for 2 weeks (40 credits), $29.95 for 4 weeks (60 credits) or $49.95 for 8 weeks (100 credits), then renews at $79.95 a month with 120 credits each month. Making ads uses credits: an image ad uses 2 and a video remake uses 20, so 120 credits make 60 image ads or 6 video remakes. Connecting, launching and budget changes never use credits, and you can buy extra credit packs. Every plan has a 14-day money-back guarantee and you can cancel anytime. Autopilot, the hands-off mode, adds 5% of the ad spend it manages and does not use credits. See the pricing page.
What the difference means
You cannot compare Arcads on price before you sign up. Crush publishes its prices on its pricing page and every plan has a 14-day money-back guarantee.
