Arcads has more actors. Adluma shows its price — and gets you users.
Arcads makes excellent AI-actor ads — 1,000+ actors, emotion control, 30+ languages. But there's no free trial, no pricing page, and it's built for agencies at ~$11 a video. If you're a founder, here's the honest breakdown.
Side by side
| Arcads | Adluma | |
|---|---|---|
| URL → video ad | ✓ | ✓ |
| AI actor library | 1,000+ (bigger) | 50 curated, consistent |
| Free trial | — none | ✓ free to start |
| Entry price | ~$110/mo (~$11/video) | $39/mo (15 ads) |
| Posts the ad for you | — you export it | ✓ X, TikTok, Reels |
| Tracks signups per ad | — | ✓ tracked link + attribution |

Arcads' pricing is not published on its site (the pricing page returns a 404); the ~$110/$220 tiers are widely reported by third parties, July 2026. Arcads genuinely leads on actor count, emotion control, and language coverage.
The honest call
Pick Arcads if…
- You need the largest actor roster with fine emotion control
- You're an agency with budget and high multi-language ad volume
- You want actors physically holding/showing a product
- You already have a team to post and measure the ads
Pick Adluma if…
- You built the product and now need users, not homework
- You hate credit math and want one flat, honest price
- You want the ad posted and tracked to real signups automatically
- You want one agent that also drafts posts, works Reddit, and finds winners
Why "just making the ad" isn't the moat anymore
AI dropped the cost of a UGC ad from a $150–300 human shoot to about a dollar. So generating ads is a commodity now — every tool does it. The hard, valuable part is distribution: getting ads in front of people, seeing which of them actually convert (only 4–8% of ads ever win, and creative fatigues in 2–3 weeks), and doubling down on the winner. Arcads hands you a great ad. Adluma runs the whole loop — which is the difference between "I made ads" and "I got users."
