Arcads is an AI video platform for talking-actor and UGC-style advertisements. It combines a library of up to 1,500 natural AI actors with video models such as Kling, Veo, Sora, Grok, and Seedance. Production tools include captions, translation, upscaling, actor replacement, and hook repurposing.
Arcads currently has four plans. Lite costs $29 a month but does not include talking actors. Talking-actor access begins with Starter, currently displayed at $77 a month under a limited-time 30% discount from its $110 list price. Starter includes 8,000 credits, enough for ten one-actor videos of up to one billed minute each.
In this article, we list the latest pricing plans and usage limits for Arcads. Prices and limits below were verified in August 2026 using Arcads' credit documentation and an in-app pricing screen captured on August 24, 2026.
Key takeaways
Lite costs $29 a month and includes 1,800 credits, but it is limited to short model-generated clips and does not support talking actors.
Starter, Creator, and Pro currently cost $77, $154, and $385 a month under a displayed 30% monthly promotion. Their list prices are $110, $220, and $550.
A talking-actor video costs 800 credits per billed minute, per actor. Arcads rounds the runtime up, so a 15-second ad costs the same as a 60-second ad.
Starter has enough credits for ten one-actor minutes, but captions are unavailable on the plan. Creator unlocks captions and workflows.
Pro now includes 48,000 credits, not 40,000. That covers 60 one-actor minutes before captions, regenerations, or other tools.
Unused credits roll over only on Pro.
Arcads.ai
Arcads creates videos in which AI actors deliver scripts for advertisements and other commercial content. Starter includes 300 actors, Creator includes 1,000, and Pro includes 1,500. Pro also lets a team clone its own actor.
The platform provides access to third-party video models alongside its talking-actor workflow. Credits are charged when a user generates a video or applies a paid production tool. Different models and tools use different amounts.
How Arcads credits work
Arcads charges 800 credits per billed minute, per actor, for Arcads 1.0, Audio-Driven, and OmniHuman 1.5 talking actors. Runtime is rounded up to the next minute.
The formula is:
rounded minutes × number of actors × 800 credits
A 15-second video with one actor costs 800 credits. A one-minute-and-45-second video with two actors is billed as two minutes for each actor:
2 minutes × 2 actors × 800 credits = 3,200 credits
Video models and production tools use separate rates.
Action | Credit charge |
|---|---|
Arcads 1.0 talking actor | 800 per minute, per actor |
Audio-Driven talking actor | 800 per minute, per actor |
OmniHuman 1.5 talking actor | 800 per minute, per actor |
Grok generation | 24–304 |
Kling 3.0 generation | 176–560 |
Veo 3.1 generation | 800 |
Sora 2 generation | 240–1,200 |
Sora 2 Pro generation | 320–1,200 |
Seedance 2.0 generation | 96–1,620 before reference surcharges |
Add captions | 80 per use |
Translate video | 240 per use |
Upscale video | 80 per 10 seconds |
Skin enhancement | 160 per use |
Actor replacement | 800 per use |
Hook repurposing | 800 per use |
Seedance pricing depends on resolution and duration. Reference video adds another 240 credits at 480p, 480 credits at 720p, or 1,080 credits at 1080p.
Production tools draw from the same plan balance. A one-minute video with one actor and captions costs:
800 generation credits + 80 caption credits = 880 credits
Arcads refunds credits when a generation fails because of a technical error. A successful regeneration receives the full charge.
Arcads plan pricing in 2026
Plan | Current monthly price | List price | Credits | Talking-actor allowance | AI video clip limit | Natural AI actors |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Lite | $29 | — | 1,800 | Not included | Up to 11 | — |
Starter | $77 | $110 | 8,000 | Up to 600 seconds | Up to 50 | 300 |
Creator | $154 | $220 | 16,000 | Up to 1,200 seconds | Up to 100 | 1,000 |
Pro | $385 | $550 | 48,000 | Up to 3,600 seconds | Up to 300 | 1,500 |
The $77, $154, and $385 prices reflect the 30% monthly promotion displayed on August 24, 2026. Arcads labels the promotion as limited-time. Its yearly option advertises 20% off the list price, producing monthly equivalents of about $88 for Starter, $176 for Creator, and $440 for Pro. While the 30% promotion remains available, monthly billing is cheaper than those annual equivalents.
The AI video clip limit is not the number of talking-actor videos included. Talking actors cost 800 credits per billed minute, so the credit allocations cover 10 one-actor minutes on Starter, 20 on Creator, and 60 on Pro. The higher clip limits apply to model-generated clips that can cost far fewer than 800 credits.
Lite ($29/month)
Lite includes 1,800 credits and up to 11 AI video clips. Each clip is limited to 10 seconds and 480p, and the plan provides access to selected models rather than the full model library.
Lite does not include AI Avatar talking, Arcads' Mark ad-building agent, MCP connections, automated workflows, captions, background removal, API access, custom actors, team collaboration, or credit rollover. It is a model-testing plan rather than a lower-cost route to Arcads' talking actors.
Starter ($77/month during the promotion; $110 list)
Starter includes 8,000 credits, up to 600 seconds of talking-actor output, up to 50 AI video clips, and 300 natural AI actors. It unlocks all models, Mark, and MCP connections to tools such as Claude and Cursor.
Its 8,000 credits cover ten one-actor videos when each video is no longer than one billed minute. Ten 15-second ads also consume the full balance because each is rounded up to one minute.
Starter does not include captions, background removal, automated workflows, API access, team collaboration, ElevenLabs integration, custom actors, or credit rollover. Captions therefore require Creator even when the underlying talking-actor generation fits within Starter's credit balance.
At the promotional price, an 800-credit one-actor generation uses $7.70 of Starter's monthly allocation. The same generation represents $11 at the list price.
Creator ($154/month during the promotion; $220 list)
Creator includes 16,000 credits, up to 1,200 seconds of talking-actor output, up to 100 AI video clips, up to 100 AI Avatar Reactions, and 1,000 natural AI actors.
It adds automated workflows, background removal, and AI captions. Creator retains the same promotional rate per credit as Starter: 800 credits represent $7.70 of the monthly allocation. A one-actor video with captions uses 880 credits, or about $8.47 of the discounted plan balance.
Creator does not include API access, unlimited team seats, ElevenLabs integration, custom actors, or credit rollover. Its 16,000 credits cover 20 one-actor minutes without captions or 18 one-minute videos with captions, with 160 credits remaining.
Pro ($385/month during the promotion; $550 list)
Pro includes 48,000 credits, up to 3,600 seconds of talking-actor output, up to 300 AI video clips, and 1,500 natural AI actors. It adds API access, unlimited team seats, ElevenLabs integration, custom actor cloning, credit rollover, and direct Slack and call support.
The current allocation covers 60 one-actor minutes without captions or 54 one-minute videos with captions, with 480 credits remaining. An 800-credit generation represents about $6.42 of the discounted plan balance; a captioned 880-credit video represents about $7.06.
Pro is the first plan for teams that need programmatic generation, their own cloned spokesperson, multiple seats, or unused credits carried into later months.
Ten short ads without captions
Ten ads with one actor require:
10 ads × 800 credits = 8,000 credits
Starter covers this workload. Each ad receives the same 800-credit charge whether it runs for 15 seconds or the full billed minute.
Ten short ads with captions
Ten one-actor ads with captions require:
10 ads × (800 generation credits + 80 caption credits) = 8,800 credits
Starter cannot produce this workload because it has 8,000 credits and does not include the caption tool. Creator is the lowest plan that both unlocks captions and supplies enough credits.
Five two-actor ads
Each one-minute video with two actors consumes 1,600 credits:
5 ads × 1,600 credits = 8,000 credits
Starter covers five such videos. Adding the second actor cuts its talking-video capacity from ten one-minute videos to five.
Twenty captioned ads for creative testing
Twenty videos with one actor and captions require:
20 ads × 880 credits = 17,600 credits
Creator includes captions but falls 1,600 credits short. This workload requires Pro. The total excludes regenerations, actor replacement, hook repurposing, upscaling, and other paid tools.
Arcads or Creatify
Creatify's current pricing page lists a free plan with 10 monthly credits, a $39 monthly Starter plan with 100 credits, and a $99 monthly Pro plan with 300 credits. Arcads starts at $29 for Lite, but its talking-actor workflow begins with Starter at the currently discounted price of $77.
Buying factor | Arcads | Creatify |
|---|---|---|
Lowest plan | Lite at $29/month | Free plan |
Paid entry plan for talking actors | Starter at $77/month during the promotion | Starter at $39/month |
Actor access | 300 on Starter; 1,000 on Creator; 1,500 on Pro | 300 on Starter; 1,500 on Pro |
Main workflow | Talking actors and model-generated video | Product-ad creation and campaign workflows |
Higher-tier tools | Workflows and captions on Creator; API and custom actors on Pro | Ad creation, cloning, competitor research, launch, and performance tools on Pro |
Free testing path | No free plan or trial reported | 10 credits per month; watermarked exports |
Arcads provides a deeper tiered actor library and a focused talking-actor workflow. Creatify offers a free starting point and connects ad generation to product research, competitor tracking, campaign launching, and performance analysis.
Creatify's Creative Agent and creation tools are included on Starter. Pro adds 1,500 actors, three custom avatars, more than 100 media models, competitor tracking, Performance Agent, and campaign tools for Meta, Google, TikTok, and AppLovin.
Who each plan is right for
Lite: Buyers testing short model-generated clips who do not need talking actors, HD output, captions, or the full model library.
Starter: Solo producers who need talking actors and can stay within 8,000 credits without captions or rollover.
Creator: Teams that need captions, background removal, workflows, 1,000 actors, or up to 16,000 credits.
Pro: Agencies and production teams that need more than 16,000 credits, API access, multiple seats, custom actors, ElevenLabs, or rollover.
Creatify: Buyers who want a free starting point and an ad workflow spanning creative generation, competitor research, campaign launch, and performance analysis.
FAQs
How much does Arcads cost per month?
Arcads currently offers Lite for $29 a month. Starter, Creator, and Pro are displayed at promotional monthly prices of $77, $154, and $385, reduced from list prices of $110, $220, and $550. The promotion is labeled limited-time.
Does Arcads have a free plan or trial?
Arcads does not display a free plan, and third-party reporting says it does not offer a free trial. Lite is the lowest paid tier at $29 a month, but it does not include talking actors.
How are credits counted for talking-actor videos?
Arcads charges by the billed minute, rounded up, for each actor. The formula is:
rounded minutes × number of actors × 800 credits
Does a 15-second video cost less than a 60-second video?
No. Each is billed as one minute and costs 800 credits per actor.
What happens if I use multiple actors in one ad?
Each actor is billed separately. A one-minute video with two actors costs 1,600 credits. A two-minute video with two actors costs 3,200.
Do unused credits roll over?
Credit rollover is unavailable on Lite, Starter, and Creator. Pro includes rollover.
What pushes a buyer from Starter to Creator?
Creator unlocks captions, background removal, automated workflows, AI Avatar Reactions, and a larger actor library. Starter cannot add captions even when it has enough credits for the underlying video generation.
What pushes a buyer from Creator to Pro?
Pro raises the allocation from 16,000 to 48,000 credits and adds API access, unlimited team seats, ElevenLabs integration, custom actor cloning, rollover, and direct support. A batch of 20 one-actor videos with captions also requires Pro because it uses 17,600 credits.
How many talking-actor videos does each plan include?
The answer depends on runtime and actor count. For one-actor videos of up to one billed minute, Starter covers 10 without captions, Creator covers 20, and Pro covers 60. Captions reduce those totals to 18 on Creator and 54 on Pro. Starter does not include the caption tool.
