Krust vs Arcads

Two ways to make AI UGC ads

Both Krust and Arcads make AI UGC video ads. Arcads is built around its actor library: you pick one of 1,000+ AI actors and write the script, or let its agent research your product and draft hooks and scripts. Krust starts from your store link: it writes the script for each buyer and casts a presenter from your audience, and you pick the format from 100 templates in 68 formats. Arcads publishes no pricing page; reviews put it at about $110 a month for 10 videos. Krust Starter is from $19 a month billed yearly, or $39 month to month.
