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. ## Arcads Alternatives by Price | Tool | Starting paid price | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | | Arcads | About $110 a month | AI actor UGC ads | | Higgsfield | $15 a month | AI video models, UGC builder | | HeyGen | $29 a month | Avatar videos and translation | | Superapp Selfdrive | Closed beta | Automated UGC, Apple Ads and ASO for apps | See our [Higgsfield pricing](https://superapp.dev/blog/higgsfield-pricing), [HeyGen pricing](https://superapp.dev/blog/heygen-pricing) and [best AI ad generators](https://superapp.dev/blog/8-best-ai-ad-generators) guides.
