Comparison
Creatify vs Stand-in: AI ads from a product link, or you as someone else?
Creatify is an ad factory: paste a product link, pick an avatar, get scripted ads. Stand-in is for the video you film yourself: the real product in your real hands, with a fictional Stand-in instead of you.
The difference, in hard numbers
| Stand-in | Creatify | |
|---|---|---|
| What the video is | Your real footage, with a generated fictional Stand-in replacing you whole-person | A scripted ad with an AI avatar, generated from a product link or script |
| Do you film anything? | Yes. Film yourself in your own clothes; a phone camera is fine | No |
| Does the person exist? | No. Every Stand-in is generated and belongs to no one | Stock AI avatars (some from real actors); custom avatars on Pro |
| 30-second video | from $3.99 per 30-second video with a $10 credit pack (from $3.63 on Pro) | About 5 credits per 30-second ad: about $1.95 on Starter if you use all 100 credits |
| Plans | No free video; credit packs from $10 | Free: 10 credits/mo, watermarked. Starter $39/mo (100 credits). Pro $99/mo (300 credits) |
| Watermark | Starter plan: yes. Creator, Pro and credit packs without a plan: no | Free: yes. Paid: no |
| Max clip length | Up to 10 minutes on any account; each started 15 seconds uses credits | Up to 2 minutes per video on Starter |
| Voice | Keep your own, or swap it in one tap | Generated voice |
| Look | Plays like a normal phone video, not an avatar | An ad avatar by design |

The honest pros and cons
What Creatify does better

- • Batches of variations and an ad launcher for Meta and TikTok.
- • A free tier to try.
What Stand-in does better
- • The real product, in real hands, in a real room.
- • Pay per video; no credits that expire.
- • You, anonymised, instead of a stock avatar.
Questions
- Is Creatify UGC?
- Creatify makes avatar ads that imitate UGC. Stand-in keeps real UGC footage and only replaces the person, which is why it reads as filmed.
- How much is Creatify per ad compared to Stand-in?
- About $1.95 per 30-second ad on Creatify's $39 Starter plan if you use every credit; the free plan gives about two watermarked ads a month. Stand-in is from $3.99 per 30-second video with a $10 credit pack (from $3.63 on Pro), no subscription required.
- Can I show my real product in Stand-in?
- Yes. Only you are replaced; the product, your hands and the room stay as filmed.
- Do Creatify credits roll over?
- Third-party guides disagree (some say they expire). Stand-in credit packs never expire, and plan credits roll over.
