Arcads

What is Arcads?

Arcads is an AI platform that produces video and image ads with no filming. You write a script or start from a product image or prompt, and in one workspace it produces talking-actor videos and UGC-style ads, plus B-roll, product videos, static ads, captions, translations, music and voiceovers. Talking actors speak 74 languages with accents, and the Translate Video tool has 176 language and accent options. The same credit balance covers the video models it hosts, including Seedance, Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0 and OmniHuman, plus image models. Workflows chain several features into one pipeline, Mark is an AI agent inside the product, and an MCP server lets you reach Arcads from Claude. Teams, marketers and agencies use it to test many ad variations. Plans are credit-based, Starter, Creator, Pro, Scale and Business, with yearly billing 20% cheaper; dollar prices appear in the app. A 72-hour free trial with 1,000 credits needs a card at signup.
