Arcads Pricing: The Short Answer
Arcads does not publish prices on its website; you see them only inside the app. Its help center lists six plans by monthly credits: Starter (8,000), Creator (16,000), Pro (48,000), Scale (96,000), Business (192,000) and custom Enterprise. Reviewers who checked the in-app plan screen in October 2026 report Starter at $110 a month, Creator at $220 and Pro at $550, with yearly billing 20% off.
Quick answer: How much does Arcads cost? About $110 a month for Starter, $220 for Creator and $550 for Pro, according to Predis and Fieldnotes in October 2026. A talking-actor video uses 800 credits, about $11 at the Starter rate. Arcads says current prices are shown in the app.

Free Trial and First-Month Offer
Arcads offers a 3-day free trial with 1,000 credits and every feature unlocked. A card is required but not charged during the trial. Afterwards the Starter monthly plan starts automatically; Fieldnotes saw the first month offered at $77 (30% off) on November 1, 2026. Cancelling during the trial ends access immediately.
Is Arcads Worth It?
At roughly $11 per talking-actor ad, Arcads is cheaper than paying creators per video, but more expensive per clip than general video tools. It suits app teams that test many ad hooks a month. Because Starter and Creator stop generating at the limit, plan your monthly ad volume before choosing a tier.
