What do Omneky, Pencil, Creatify and Arcads charge per month?
Every figure below comes from the vendor's own site, checked 24 October 2026. Promotions change often, so confirm before you buy. We make Nagent, whose creative strategy lead HOOK (Beta) works alongside tools like these; it has its own section near the end.

What does each credit actually buy?
The four tools count differently, so a headline price tells you little. Here is what each unit buys, from the vendors' own pages:
Omneky: a 1K image ad is 5 credits, a 4K image ad 10, a short commercial up to 15 seconds 30, and 16 to 30 seconds 60. The page says Standard's 1,000 credits make about 200 image ads, 50 avatar videos with a product, or 33 short commercials.
Pencil: one generation is one output from its models; Core includes 50 a month and Growth 250.
Creatify: the page says Pro's 280 credits make about 56 Aurora 15-second avatar videos, or 36 five-second Seedance 2.0 clips, and that higher resolution and premium models use more.
Arcads: an Arcads 1.0 talking-actor video uses 800 credits for up to two minutes; audio-driven video is 800 credits per started minute; translation is 240 credits per started 30 seconds per language.
What does one ad cost on each tool?
Dividing the plan price by the plan's credits gives a rough cost per ad. These are our calculations from the listed prices:
Omneky Standard at $99 for 1,000 credits is about $0.10 a credit: roughly $0.50 per 1K image ad and $3 per 15-second commercial. Top-ups at 10 credits per dollar work out the same.
Pencil Core at $14 for 50 generations is $0.28 a generation; Growth at $55 for 250 is $0.22.
Creatify Pro at $38 for 280 credits is about $0.14 a credit: roughly $0.68 per 15-second avatar video at the page's own rate of 56 a month.
Arcads: Starter covers about 10 talking-actor videos a month. Without a public dollar price, we cannot give a per-video figure.
These are best-case numbers. Retries, longer clips, premium models and rejected takes all raise the real cost per usable ad, often by more than the gap between vendors.
Which is cheapest for your type of ad?
Static image ads at volume: Omneky Standard or Pencil Growth. Omneky publishes the per-image cost; Pencil counts any output as one generation.
Short avatar or UGC style video: Creatify Pro has the lowest per-clip figure of the four at short lengths.
Talking-actor video of a minute or more, or many languages: Arcads, whose credits are priced per talking video up to two minutes and per language.
Several brands on one account: Omneky (one credit pool shared by up to three or five brands) or Creatify Business (10 brand spaces).
Enterprise terms and IP assignment: Pencil Pro or Omneky Enterprise, both by quote.
A worked month, using the listed rates and no retries: a team that needs 100 image ads and 20 fifteen-second videos would use about 1,100 Omneky credits (Standard at $99 plus a $10 top-up), about 125 Creatify credits (Pro at $38, using its listed image and avatar rates), or 120 Pencil generations (Growth at $55, if each video counts as one generation; confirm with Pencil). On Arcads, 20 talking-actor videos at 800 credits each need Creator's 16,000 credits, at a price you see only after sign-up.
What rules change the real monthly bill?
Expiry and rollover. Creatify's paid credits expire after two months. Arcads Starter and Creator credits reset each cycle and generation stops at the limit; Pro, Scale and Business roll over and bill extra usage. Omneky top-ups never expire.
Seats. Omneky Lite, Pencil Core and Creatify Standard and Pro are built for one person. A second editor usually means the next tier.
Format gates. Omneky's video and avatar formats start on Standard; Creatify's agents and cloning start on Pro.
Annual commitments. Creatify's annual saving is 30%, Omneky's up to 20% and Arcads' 20%. Annual saves money but locks you in.
Trials with cards. Arcads' trial converts to a paid plan after 72 hours unless cancelled.
What should you ask before you buy?
Does a retry, a resize or a regenerated take spend credits again?
What does my most common ad format cost in credits, at the resolution I use?
What happens at the monthly limit: a block, or an overage charge?
How many seats and brands does my plan include, and what does one more cost?
Who owns the output, and can I use AI actors in paid ads in every market?
Price is only half the decision. Our post on HOOK vs AdCreative.ai explains the difference between an ad generator and a creative strategist.
Where does Nagent fit?
Nagent is multiplayer AI for growth: people and AI agents in one shared context, delivering the number. Nagent prices work in credits too, with one difference that matters for a budget: video is quoted before it is made.
HOOK (Beta), the AI ad creative strategy lead, writes the angles, hooks and scripts from your proven claims and checks every claim before it ships. Its own measure is "cost per winner", which counts HOOK's spend, never your ad spend.
Alpha, the AI video studio, quotes each video in credits and, at the trust it starts with, waits for a person to approve the storyboard before anything renders. A rendered video is about 700 credits as a rough guide, and a variant that swaps a hook renders only the changed shot.
What it does not do: neither touches your ad account's spend, and Nagent is not the cheapest way to get a large number of statics. If price per image is the only measure, the tools above win. See pricing for plans and credit allowances.
