A few days into this AdsCreator announcement series, & I've been getting a lot of questions that boil down to one thing:
"Aleric, how does this actually compare to hiring a designer?"
So today, I'm going to show you the real numbers side-by-side. & I think you'll find the comparison pretty eye-opening.
Here's a Sneak Peek at What's Inside This Email:
The REAL cost of creating ad creative the "old way"
The AdsCreator cost breakdown (it's not even close)
Why creative testing at scale is the #1 lever for ad performance
How to start testing more variations this week
& More!
Alright, let's Dive In…

The Old Way - Hiring a Designer
Let me walk you through what the traditional workflow actually looks like:
$50-150/hour for a freelance designer
2-5 days for first drafts
Multiple rounds of revisions (more time, more cost)
Re-brief for every new format & variation
Total cost for a set of ad variations: $300-1,000+
Total time: 5-10 business days
& I'm not knocking designers - they absolutely have their place for high-touch, strategic creative work.
But for the VOLUME of ad creative you need to test & scale campaigns effectively? That traditional workflow just doesn't scale.
The AdsCreator Way
Here's what that same creative workflow looks like with AdsCreator:
Plans starting at $29/month (Starter plan works out to just $24/month billed annually)
600 credits included upfront on the Starter plan
Ads generated in seconds - not days
All formats (square, landscape, story) from the same creative direction
Iterate instantly with new angles & variations
Total time from URL to ads: Under 1 minute
That's 600 polished, on-brand ads for less than what most designers charge for a single day of work.
The math on that is genuinely incredible.
Why This Matters - Creative Testing at Scale
Here's the thing most marketers miss:
The best media buyers in the world will tell you that creative testing is THE #1 lever for scaling ads.
But testing has always been slow & expensive because you were limited by how fast you could produce creative.
With the old workflow, you might test 3-5 variations per week.
With AdsCreator, you can test 15-20+ variations per week - easily.
More tests = faster learning = better performing campaigns = lower CPA = higher ROAS.
This is the compound effect that separates advertisers who scale from those who stay stuck.
More Value Coming Your Way!
Tomorrow, I'll share 3 specific ways I'd use AdsCreator if I were starting from scratch today - including one strategy most people never think about.
I'll see you in the next one!

P.S. If you've been testing only 2-3 ad variations & wondering why your campaigns feel stuck - this is probably the reason. Start testing at scale here.
