AdCreative.ai Credit-to-Retainer Ratio

AdCreative.ai's pricing is credit-based: the Professional plan ($249/mo) gives 50 credits for up to 10 brands, while the Ultimate plan ($499/mo) gives 100 credits for 25 brands. Each credit generates one ad creative, UGC video, or product photo. An agency must calculate how many credits a client consumes monthly (e.g., 20 creatives + 5 videos = 25 credits) and set a retainer that covers the per-credit cost plus margin. For a client using 25 credits on the Professional plan, the cost is $124.50 (50% of $249). If the agency charges $920/mo (as in the Starter Ads offer), the gross margin is $795.50. This ratio ensures the agency doesn't lose money on high-usage clients and can upsell to the Ultimate plan when a client exceeds 50 credits. The framework prevents underpricing and aligns client usage with profitability.
