How to read the table

Price per month is the list price of the cheapest plan that includes ad creatives, as the vendor’s pricing page shows it on a monthly term. Where a page shows a promotion or an annual rate as well, the table keeps the regular monthly figure.

What a month includes is the vendor’s own unit: a number of ads, a number of requests in progress at once, a number of hours, or a budget. The units are not converted into each other.

Who writes the brief says whether the client brings the brief and the concepts, or the service does, in the vendor’s words. Where this changes between plans, the table names the plan.

Also checked on 29 October 2026: Flocksy, Awesomic and Designity, which price by designer hours rather than by ads, and Design Pickle, Adguns and Knowlify, which publish no price. The five services most often searched against each other, Superside, Design Pickle, Penji, Kimp and ManyPixels, are on their own page: Superside and Design Pickle alternatives.
