Upadz
Research, creative directions, video ads, static ads and Ad Remix
Upadz starts from a product URL and works before it generates: it researches the buyer and the ads running in your market, then proposes 3 ad concepts with different angles and hooks. The one you pick becomes a finished vertical video ad or a set of static ads.
A finished video ad has a fixed price, 50 credits (720p) or 75 credits (1080p), refunded automatically if the generation fails. We make Upadz, so judge it on these facts, not on its place on this page.
- Ad discovery and customer research before you generate
- 3 ad concepts per product, each with its own angle and hook
- Finished 18–20-second video ads with captions, hook, call to action and music
- Static ads from the same research
- Ad Remix: your own version of an ad that already works
- Reusable AI Influencers for a consistent creator across ads
- Free plan (50 one-time credits), then Pro from $49/month
