Common questions about Arcads vs Novoads

Everything you need to know before switching.

It depends on your use case. If you need corporate training videos or internal communications, Arcads is the better choice — it's built for that. But if you need UGC-style video ads for social media, product demos with actors holding your products, or multilingual ad creative at scale, Novoads is purpose-built for that and costs less.

Yes. There's no data migration needed — you start fresh with Novoads. Write a script (or let AI generate one), choose from 50+ actors, and generate your first video in under 4 minutes. Most users who switch are producing content the same day.

Different, not worse. Arcads produces polished, corporate-looking videos. Novoads produces authentic, UGC-style content designed to look like real creator content. For social media ads, the UGC aesthetic typically outperforms corporate video in engagement and conversion rates.

Novoads starts at $39/month for 50 credits (~10 video ads). You can also try it with a one-time $10 purchase (10 credits) before committing to a subscription. For high-volume ad creative, Novoads is typically more cost-effective than Arcads.
