What to Consider When Choosing an AI Ad Generator
Three factors matter more than any feature checklist:
Speed to first ad
How quickly can you go from nothing to a campaign-ready ad? If the answer is "days" or "after onboarding," the tool is adding friction, not removing it.
Creative variety at scale
Can you produce 20-50 variants per campaign? Single-variant campaigns can't find winners. The tool should make creative volume effortless.
Brand consistency
Does every ad look on-brand automatically, or do you need to manually configure templates? The best tools extract your brand identity and maintain it across every output.
