Hey everyone, I was just curious if any of you have ever used or heard of AdCreative.ai for your social media marketing campaigns? I recently stumbled upon it. They claim to have up to 14x higher conversion rates compared to creatives that are not data-backed, and over 95% of their users improve their click-through rates in the first month using their platform.

I'm looking to understand at what scale it work?

Everything on reddit seems to suggest ad creative(dot)ai is a scam. Are there any alternatives?

Been running Facebook and Instagram ads for my e-commerce business for 2 years now. Always struggled with creating enough ad variations to test properly. Heard about AdCreative AI from a marketing group and decided to test it out, specifically focusing on whether the pricing makes sense for small businesses.

Spoiler alert: the pricing structure is more complicated than they make it seem, and there are some hidden costs you need to know about.

AdCreative AI pricing breakdown after 6 weeks of testing

What AdCreative AI actually does: It's an AI tool that generates ad creatives (images + copy) for social media advertising. You input your brand info, product details, and it spits out dozens of ad variations in different formats for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.

The pricing plans I tested: Starter Plan ($39/month):

• 10 downloads per month

• Basic AI generated creatives

• Standard support

• This is what I started with

Professional Plan ($249/month):

• 100 downloads per month

• Advanced AI features

• Priority support

• Upgraded to this after week 3

Here's what they don't tell you upfront:

• Downloads burn fast - Each ad creative counts as 1 download, so 10 per month is basically nothing if you're testing multiple campaigns

• Quality varies wildly - Maybe 30% of generated creatives are actually usable, so you need way more downloads than expected

• No rollover credits - Unused downloads disappear at month end

• Annual discount is misleading - They advertise 40% off annual plans, but you're locked in even if the tool doesn't work for your business

My actual costs over 6 weeks:

• Week 1-3: Starter plan $39/month

• Week 4-6: Professional plan $249/month

• Total spent: $288 for 6 weeks of testing

• Usable creatives generated: 47 out of 156 total downloads

• Cost per usable creative: $6.13

What worked well:

• Speed is impressive - Can generate 20+ ad variations in under 5 minutes

• Copy quality is decent - Headlines and ad text are usually on point

• Multiple format options - Square, story, feed formats all available

• Brand consistency - Once you upload brand assets, it maintains your style

What frustrated me:

• Image placement is often terrible - Products get cropped weirdly or placed in corners

• Generic stock photo feel - Many creatives look obviously AI generated

• Limited customization - Can't fine tune specific elements after generation

• Customer support is slow - Took 3 days to get response about billing issues

• No refund policy - Stuck with subscription even if results are poor

Real performance results:

• Tested 47 AI generated creatives against 12 manually created ads

• AI ads averaged 2.3% CTR vs 3.1% for manual ads

• Cost per conversion was 18% higher with AI creatives

• Only 3 out of 47 AI ads became winning creatives in my campaigns

The honest verdict on AdCreative AI pricing: For $39/month, you're basically paying for a very limited trial. The 10 downloads disappear in days if you're seriously testing. The $249/month Professional plan gives you enough downloads to properly evaluate, but at that price point, you could hire a freelance designer for similar results.

The tool works as advertised but the quality to price ratio doesn't make sense for most small businesses. You're paying premium prices for mediocre results that still need significant manual tweaking.

Who should consider AdCreative AI:

• Agencies managing multiple client accounts

• Large e-commerce businesses with big ad budgets

• Companies that need volume over quality

Who should skip it:

• Small businesses with limited ad budgets

• Anyone expecting professional quality creatives

• Businesses that need highly customized ad content

Better alternatives I found:

• Canva Pro ($15/month) - More control, better templates, way cheaper

• Freelance designers on Fiverr - $20-50 per creative but much higher quality

• Facebook Creative Hub - Free mockup tools that work just as well

After 6 weeks, I cancelled my subscription. The pricing doesn't justify the mediocre results, especially when there are cheaper alternatives that produce better creatives.

Anyone else tested AdCreative AI recently? Curious if your experience with the pricing and quality was similar. What's your go to tool for ad creative generation?

I've tried the text to template thing on adobe spark, but everything it created was unusable.
I've gotten the best results using this method:

1. generating an image of an ad (going to this url and putting in prompt: ad creative that has text <my text>). The colors, design, and layouts have been very good for the most part, but the text it generates is gibberish.

2. Copying and pasting the generated ad into Figma and replacing the text and images with my own text / product images.

Are there any better AI tools for this?

Hi everyone

We run an online marketing agency developping websites and running google ads. We want to breach out to social media marketing and i was thinking of a software that's called Ad creative AI. I think most of you have already noticed their ads.

It's an AI that can creates 100's of ad creatives (like social media posts) in an instant. I'm sure by know their are plenty of simillars AI. They are promoting pretty heavy and I was wondering if any one you have experience with this AI. If you do how was it? Is it worth the price, are you going to keep on using it, do you know a free alternative, ..

Any other tought on using AI to automate big processes in marketing in general?

I’ve been testing out a bunch of AI creative tools lately: Icon, AdCreative, and a bunch of AI-powered UGC platforms I found through LinkedIn signups.

Here’s my honest take so far:

Icon Ads: Consistent output, but most creatives feel templated. That’s not always a bad thing — if you’re battling creative fatigue, it might actually help.

AdCreative.ai: A more advanced version of Canva, but ironically offers less creative freedom. It’s polished, but still feels boxed in.

UGC Platforms: Disappointing. Many showcase real UGC on their landing pages, but what you actually get feels unmistakably AI-generated — stiff, overly clean, and lacking soul. I shouldn’t be surprised, but I kind of was.

Curious, has anyone found an AI creative tool that actually feels human?

P.S. Please don’t slide into my DMs pitching your AI agent. If it’s genuinely useful, I’ll find it and sign up, no need to ask.

Everything on reddit seems to suggest adcreative(dot)ai is a scam. Are there any alternatives?

Hello, Reddit!

I wanted to share my experience with AdCreative.ai, which turned out to be extremely negative. Right after the trial period, funds were deducted from my card, and it turned out to be impossible to get a refund despite my attempts and reaching out to support.

The quality of the advertising creatives provided was low, and customer service was below any reasonable standard. The user interface is complicated and unintuitive.

Has anyone else encountered these types of "subscription traps"? What other services use this approach and should be avoided?

They are trying for several days to charge me for huge amounts of money while being on a free trial, i even cancelled my subscription, i cancelled my previous visa and somehow ordering a new visa would let the previous payments to continue and be associated to the new visa! What can i do??

I'm trying to change my perspective on ad creatives with AI. I'm going to try to focus the creative entirely on acting like it's prompting the AI on which type of customer to target.

Thoughts?

I was at a social arbitrage forum earlier in Dubai, and noticed there were some AI Ads generation brands like Creatify which claims to produce UGC-style AI videos, has anyone tried with AI ad creation and what worked?

I’m sharing this to warn others and raise awareness — AdCreative.ai, the so-called “AI ad generator,” charged me over $1000 in one month after I had already canceled my trial.

What happened: • Signed up for their free trial — seemed legit at first. • Canceled the subscription properly before the trial ended. • Then, I got hit with 3 unauthorized charges totaling over $1000 in a single month. • Even worse — I got a text from Amex asking if I authorized the charge. I pressed “N” to deny it. They still forced the charge through. • They reopened the subscription without my consent. • You cannot remove your card once it’s added to the platform. • No support. No refund. No accountability.

After digging deeper: • I found tons of other victims reporting the same issue • Their reviews on Trustpilot and G2 are clearly manipulated • Their Instagram is full of fake followers • Their billing practices are predatory and possibly illegal

If you’re experiencing the same thing:

Report them here (French gov site — they’re based in Paris): https://signal.conso.gouv.fr/en/achat-site/faire-un-signalement

Also: • Dispute the charges with your credit card provider • Contact your national consumer protection agency • Warn others online — Reddit, LinkedIn, Trustpilot, Twitter, anywhere

Please copy this post, share it, and repost on other communities. Let’s stop them from scamming more honest creators and business owners. Don’t make the same mistake I did — spread the word.

How do you create ad creatives with the help of AI? I started experimenting with AI carefully at first, only using some apps for brainstorming. But they usually lacked context, and I could not iterate the designs. Later, I chose the Omneky app. I uploaded my brandbook, logo, and product images to Omneky, and the platform made it easy to generate creatives aligned with the brand. There is also a possibility to make the image a small video and a prompt redesigning. But my seven-day trial ended, and I want to test something else. What can you share?

Hey, recently i've seem hundreds of ads from adcreative.ai and I'm just wondering if someone here recommends it? I'm thinking in signing up for the free trial but I wold like to know if someone here have some real examples of uses to it. It seems like they generate the ads + uses AI to analyze my ads + ads from competitors, would someone recommend it for agencies?

I’ve been seeing a lot of ads on this but not sure if it’s worth it . What are your thoughts on it
