The 4 Zeely alternatives, one by one
1. AdCrewly: an AI marketing crew that makes your ads and everything around them
AdCrewly is our product. Upload one product photo and pick a vibe: an AI creative director writes the storyboard and shows every shot before the video is made, with music or a voice-over, in vertical or wide shapes. Its Paid Ads Pro writes the campaign plan, and you launch it in your own ad account, so you keep full control of spend.
The same crew of eight AI marketers, led by a Director, writes your social posts, checks your SEO and reports in plain words. Every draft waits for your approval, and approved posts publish to your connected accounts.
- Good for: owners who want their ads made and the rest of their marketing done in the same place.
- Price: Free plan with no card: 1 connected account and 5 posts published for you each month. Paid plans run $39 to $1,999 a month per business, with a 14-day free trial on your first subscription and no seat fees. See AdCrewly pricing.
- Also builds: a multi-page website written by the Web Builder, one-offer landing pages with lead forms and visit counts for every ad to point at, your own domain, and a Shop, menu and bookings page where customers can pay by card into your own Stripe account.
