Ad creative for software

Your product is a screen. The UGC market has no gear for that.

Short-form ad creative for self-serve SaaS and subscription apps — written, voiced, cut and captioned here, delivered as hook variants in every ratio. Flat fee. Three business days. Raw files included.

The gap we work in

Every UGC marketplace is built around a physical object. Icon ships product to a creator and quotes 12–16 days from arrival; Insense, JoinBrands, Trend, Billo and Cohley all intermediate someone who has to hold the thing. If your product is a dashboard, there is nothing to ship — so that machine functionally skips you.

Meanwhile screen-recording-led ads are the native, category-winning format for app and SaaS user acquisition. The constraint that makes us useless to a weighted-blanket brand — no actors, no filming, no product in hand — costs nothing when the product is software.

What you get, and what we can't make

We makeHow
Scripted voiceoverKokoro-82M, local, Apache-2.0 — full commercial use
Stock b-rollPexels License — commercial OK, no attribution
Music bed, sidechain-ducked under the voiceCC0 1.0 — public domain
Captions burned from authored copyASS + libass, not transcription, so the words are the ones you approved

Hook variants sharing one bodythe body renders and caches once
Your own screen recordings cut into the timelineyour footage, your rights
Loudness normalised to −14 LUFSplatform target, per file

What we do not sell, so nobody is surprised on delivery: human actors or filmed footage (we own no camera and no studio) · AI avatars, talking heads, lip-sync or voice cloning · text-to-video generation of any kind · anything needing a physical product on camera that you can't supply footage of · screen recordings of your product that you haven't given us — we don't log into a client's software.

This is why it isn't sold as "AI UGC". That would be a lie, and that market is $5 a video anyway.

Pricing

Pilot

$250 fully refundable
  • Your first Concept Pack, half price
  • If you wouldn't run any of the three hooks, you pay nothing and keep the files
  • One per client — it exists because we have no track record yet and pricing as though we do would be dishonest

Concept Pack

$450
  • 1 concept × 3 hooks × 3 ratios = 9 finished files
  • Script written from your positioning, approved before anything renders
  • Spec JSON + project files so you can re-cut later
  • Asset provenance manifest — every stock ID, licence and track
  • 3 business days from approved script

Test Batch

$1,200 $133/variant
  • 3 concepts × 3 hooks × 3 ratios = 27 files
  • Three genuinely different angles, not three edits of one idea
  • A one-page testing note: what each concept tests, and what a result would mean
  • 5 business days

Creative Retainer

$2,000/mo · $100/variant
  • 20 variants a month (5 concepts × 4 hooks), all ratios = 60 files
  • Weekly drops of 5, so testing never waits on a monthly batch
  • 48-hour iteration SLA — name a winner, get 4 new hooks on that body
  • Month-to-month, 14 days' notice. No annual lock.
Add-on
Extra hook variant on an existing body$60
Rush — 24h on a Concept Pack+50%
Script + storyboard only, no render$150/concept
Cutting your own footage into our timelineincluded
Extra aspect ratio beyond the threeincluded
Raw project filesincluded

The rest of the market charges 30–50% extra for raw files and extra ratios. They cost us one more encode, so they're free — that's the cheapest credible difference available.

Where this sits in the market

WhoPriceNote
Fiverr, AI UGC gigs$5–$60commodity floor, near-identical listings
Fiverr, premium AI UGC$180–$200positioning, not better output
Upwork, direct-response ad variants$200–$500/variantsame file length, 4–10× clip-editing rates
Icon — human UGC, managed$1,000/mo → ~$167/ad12–16 day delivery
AI tools (Creatify, HeyGen, Arcads…)$0.40–$11/videoyou can buy this yourself
Performance-creative agencies$5,000–$15,000/mo18–40+ assets, min ~$20K/mo spend

There is open ground between Icon at $1,000/mo and the agency floor at $5,000/mo. A brand spending $10–50K/mo on media has no good option in between. That's the slot.

Revisions, delivery, and the guarantee we won't give you

Turnaround starts when the script is approved, not when the brief arrives.

Revisions: 2 rounds per concept within 7 days of delivery. A revision is a change to delivered material — copy, timing, shot swap, caption styling, music, VO speed, trim. A new angle or an extra hook is a new unit. Both rounds come as one message each; a drip of one note a day is one round.

Delivered means an H.264/AAC MP4 per variant per ratio, 1080-wide, faststart, loudness-normalised, plus the script, the spec JSON and the provenance manifest, in <brand>/<concept>/<variant>_<ratio>.mp4.

Money back on any Concept Pack or Test Batch if you wouldn't run any variant. Retainer months refund pro rata on the undelivered portion.

No performance guarantee. Creative moves the odds; it doesn't remove the variance. Everything downstream of the click — product, offer, landing page, media buying, seasonality — is outside our control. Anyone guaranteeing you a ROAS is either confused or selling you something.

Honest status

New shop, no track record. No client has paid yet, so there are no results, no case studies and no logos on this page — and there won't be until they're real. Every price above is a price we intend to charge, not one anyone has paid. That's what the refundable $250 pilot is for.

No public sample reel yet, on purpose. Our portfolio is unsolicited spec work made for specific companies, and our own rule is that a spec concept goes to the brand it was written for before it goes anywhere else — including here. Ask and we'll send what's relevant to you directly.

The renderer that produces the work is open for inspection: github.com/outlier1804/ai-ad-service. You can read exactly how a file is built, what licence every asset carries, and what the machine can and can't do — before spending anything.

Start a brief

Tell us the product, who it's for, what you're already running, and the one thing you wish more people understood about it. That's enough to write to.

Open a brief on GitHub

A GitHub issue is the contact channel — it's public, so leave out anything confidential and say so; we'll take it from there.
