Self-serve entry prices run $14.99/mo (Vidnoz) to $110/mo (Arcads), with most serious tools at $24-$59/mo, and Poolday sitting outside that band at $1,250/mo since it withdrew its $99 tier — an order of magnitude cheaper per asset than human creators, at roughly $1.50-$25 per generated video. The category's two failure modes are visible in review data: output quality (Arcads at 2.7/5 and Hedra at 1.6/5 on Trustpilot) and billing traps (MakeUGC's 46% 1-star reviews for post-cancellation charges; monthly credits that lapse at the end of the cycle at Hedra, Synthesia and MakeUGC — Creatify's stay valid two months and HeyGen's roll over one). Always test on a free tier first — HeyGen, Creatify, Vidnoz, and Reelfarm all offer one; Arcads and Poolday don't. Verify commercial usage rights in writing for ad use, since Arcads and Zeely don't clearly publish theirs (Topview does: a "Commercial license" row runs across all four paid plans on its pricing page). Buy monthly, never annual, until a tool has survived a real campaign.
