Arcads pricing (2026): plans, cost per video, and a cheaper alternative
Arcads uses subscription (api on enterprise), starting around ~$110/mo (self-serve) as of July 2026. UGC ads focus; API exists but is gated to Enterprise plans. If you want lower cost per video plus programmatic access (a REST API, CLI, and MCP server), AgentMedia starts at $39/month with credits that work everywhere.
