Adluma vs MakeUGC · updated July 2026

Buying videos by the batch — or hiring the agent that turns them into users.

MakeUGC does what the name says: AI-generated UGC videos, sold in monthly batches. Simple and popular. The question for a founder is what happens after the video exists — and what each finished ad actually costs you. Here's the honest breakdown.

TL;DR: MakeUGC is a video vendor: pick an avatar, get your batch — 5 videos at $49/mo, 10 at $69, 20 at $119 (annual billing takes ~20% off), which works out to roughly $6–10 per video, with credits that expire at month's end and a $1 trial that auto-converts after 72 hours. Adluma is a marketing agent: $39/mo for 15 finished ads (~$2.60 each), and the ad doesn't stop at the download — it's posted to your own X/TikTok/Reels, every view carries a tracked link, every signup is attributed to the exact ad, and the winner automatically gets fresh variants. Same category, different job: one sells footage, the other works on your user count.

The honest call

Pick MakeUGC if…

  • You already have distribution and just need a monthly batch of UGC clips
  • You run paid ads elsewhere and treat video as raw creative input
  • You prefer a dead-simple "pick avatar, get videos" workflow
  • Your volume fits neatly in a 5/10/20-video tier

Pick Adluma if…

  • You need users, not just files in a downloads folder
  • You want per-ad cost closer to $2.60 than $10, with nothing expiring
  • You want posting + signup attribution + winner-doubling in the same $39
  • You want the agent to also work Reddit, draft posts, and build SEO pages

The math a solo founder actually runs

At MakeUGC's tiers a finished video costs $6–10, expires from your balance if unused, and lands in your downloads folder — distribution not included. At Adluma's $39 for 15, each finished ad costs about $2.60 including distribution: posted to your channels on schedule, wrapped in a tracked link, measured to the signup. And the loop compounds — when one ad outperforms, Adluma spins fresh variants of the winner automatically, so your batch gets smarter each week instead of just bigger. If your goal is a user count, price the loop, not the file.
