Zeely pricing (2026): plans, credits, and what you'll actually pay

Zeely is an AI ad creation platform that can launch Meta and Instagram campaigns. It creates marketing videos, static ads, and talking reels. Zeely also provides avatars and tools for running Facebook and Instagram campaigns. Starter includes 2,500 monthly credits for $29.95; Zeely offers no permanent free plan. A Starter subscription paired with $200 in Meta spend costs $253.95 after Zeely adds its 12% service fee. This article explains Zeely’s subscriptions, credits, and campaign fees, so you can calculate your total cash outlay before you subscribe.

Prices and limits below were verified in August 2026 through Zeely’s pricing page, its 2026 pricing article, and its payment methods article.

Key takeaways

• Buy the $39.95 annual Booster to cut Zeely’s campaign fee from 12% to 6%.

• Booster pays for itself after about $666 in annual Meta spend, or an average of $55.50 each month.

• Choose or cancel your plan before the trial ends to avoid automatic renewal to Growth at $79.95 a month.

• Check the in-app “See rates” menu to estimate how many assets your monthly credits can produce.

What Zeely is

Zeely combines ad creation with campaign execution for Facebook and Instagram. Marketers can generate marketing videos, static ads, and talking reels inside the platform.

Avatars support presenter-led creative without filming a person. Marketers can export those assets or use Zeely to launch a paid campaign, which triggers the percentage service fee on the Meta budget.

How Zeely credits work

All three Zeely plans provide the same published features. Zeely deducts credits when you generate or revise creative.

Generations and revisions consume credits. Higher-quality models can use more credits than default models. Zeely shows exact rates only in the in-app “See rates” menu. Check “See rates” before generating an asset to see how many credits the selected model and action will use.

Zeely resets plan credits with each monthly billing cycle. Its public pages do not document rollover for unused plan credits. Credit packs purchased separately do not expire when the subscription renews.

Older Zeely pages used fixed caps for campaigns, static ads, and AI videos. The current pricing page replaces those caps with monthly credits and gives every plan the same feature list.

Zeely plan pricing in 2026

The Starter, Plus, and Growth plans differ by monthly price and credit allocation. Each plan includes marketing videos, campaign tools, and priority support.

Starter ($29.95/month)

The Starter plan suits solo users who are testing creative and spending under about $300 to $500 a month on Meta ads. It includes 2,500 credits and the complete feature set shown on Zeely’s pricing page.

Zeely lists the plan at $29.95 instead of the struck-through $49.95 price. Upgrading from Starter increases the monthly credit allocation rather than unlocking additional published features.

Plus ($49.95/month)

The Plus plan gives growing stores 5,000 monthly credits. That allocation fits stores spending roughly $500 to $2,000 on advertising and producing a moderate amount of creative.

Plus doubles the credits in Starter for another $20 a month. Zeely shows a listed price of $89.95, but the current plan card charges $49.95.

Growth ($79.95/month)

The Growth plan includes 10,000 monthly credits for teams producing creative at higher volume. Zeely marks this $79.95 plan as “Most popular” and shows a struck-through price of $149.95.

The 12% service fee can exceed the subscription several times over. At $2,000 in Meta spend, the 12% service fee reaches $240, roughly three times the monthly plan charge.

Paid trials and automatic renewal

Zeely sells paid trials with full access. It does not offer a permanently free plan.

An untouched trial automatically moves to the Growth plan at $79.95 a month. Subscribers can select another plan or cancel through their account settings before renewal.

Subscriptions can renew weekly or monthly, with longer terms lasting two or three months. Offers in the mobile app can differ from those on the website, including the available duration and price.

What you'll actually pay

Zeely’s official formula is:

Total monthly cash outlay = subscription + Meta ad budget + service fee at 12% or 6%

The total cash outlay includes the money Meta receives for advertising. Zeely’s tool cost includes the subscription, service fee, and Booster allocation when applicable. It excludes the Meta budget itself.

Zeely applies the percentage only to ad spend run through its campaign launcher. It does not take a percentage of Shopify sales, other business revenue, or creative that you export without launching through Zeely.

A light Starter campaign with $200 in Meta spend

The 12% service fee adds $24 to this Starter campaign.

$29.95 + $200 + ($200 × 12%) = $253.95 total cash outlay

Zeely receives $53.95 in subscription and service charges. The rest of the cash outlay funds the campaign on Meta.

A growing store on Plus with $500 in Meta spend

Booster lowers the service fee on this $500 budget to $30. In this example, Booster keeps the campaign fee below the Plus subscription price.

Total cash outlay: $579.95, including a $30 service fee.

Zeely receives $79.95 before assigning the Booster’s $39.95 annual charge to a specific month. Meta receives $500.

A scaling team on Growth with $2,000 in Meta spend

At 12%, the $2,000 budget generates a $240 service fee on top of the Growth subscription. The campaign fee alone costs three times as much as the Growth subscription.

Total cash outlay: $2,319.95, of which $319.95 goes to Zeely.

At this budget, campaign charges matter more than the Growth plan’s $79.95 monthly price. Meta receives the media budget, while Zeely receives the subscription and campaign fees.

Growth plan cost across larger ad budgets

The following table keeps Meta spend separate from the amount paid for Zeely. The 6% column includes about $3.33 a month for the Booster, calculated by spreading its $39.95 annual charge across 12 months.

Booster ($39.95/year)

The $39.95 annual Booster lowers the service fee from 12% to 6% and includes priority support, ad protection, and manual creative reviews.

Booster saves six percentage points on campaign spend. The documented fee reduction reaches the $39.95 purchase price at this point:

$39.95 ÷ 6% = $665.83 in annual Meta spend

That equals an average of about $55.50 in Meta spend each month. A team spending $500 every month reaches the annual break-even amount during its second month.

We base the purchase case on the documented reduction from 12% to 6%. That saving alone supports Booster once annual spend exceeds about $666, without relying on varying descriptions of faster generation or additional credits.

Who each plan is right for

• Starter: Choose the Starter plan for light creative testing and Meta budgets below roughly $300 to $500 a month.

• Plus: Choose the Plus plan when 2,500 credits are insufficient and your store spends about $500 to $2,000 monthly.

• Growth with Booster: Growth with Booster fits teams that need 10,000 credits or run at least $2,000 in monthly Meta spend.

Creative-only buyers can export their assets instead of launching campaigns through Zeely. That workflow avoids the 12% or 6% service fee because Zeely applies it only to advertising managed through its launcher.

Before you subscribe

Check the in-app “See rates” menu for the exact model and generation type you intend to use. The public pricing page lists monthly allocations of 2,500 to 10,000 credits. Output counts appear only in the app.

Select a subscription or cancel the paid trial before it renews to the Growth plan. Then apply 12% to your intended Meta budget, or 6% if you will purchase Booster.

Meta spend can become the largest amount you pay through Zeely. The subscription ranges from $29.95 to $79.95, while a $5,000 campaign adds a $600 service fee without Booster.
