Zeely AI Pricing 2026 and Zeely Pricing From $29.95

Zeely AI pricing now runs on three monthly plans on its website: Starter at $29.95 a month for 2,500 credits, Plus at $49.95 for 5,000 credits and Growth at $79.95 for 10,000 credits, each shown against a higher crossed-out price of $49.95, $89.95 and $149.95. All three plans include the same twelve features. If Zeely launches your Meta ads, it can also charge up to 12% of your ad budget. Budget on the crossed-out price, because Zeely's own policy says a discounted first cycle continues at the standard rate.

Zeely is an AI ad app aimed at small online sellers. You give it your product, it generates video and static ads, and it can launch and monitor Facebook and Instagram campaigns for you. The figures on this page were read from Zeely's pricing page, its Subscription and Refund Policy, its own 2026 cost guide and its US App Store listing in September 2026. Prices change, so check the page yourself before you subscribe.

Zeely pricing plans at a glance

Two details on the page are easy to miss. The cards are ordered Starter, Growth, Plus, so the most expensive plan sits in the middle wearing the "Most popular" badge, where a quick reader expects the mid-priced option. And every card reads "Available only on the site", because the iPhone app sells a different list, covered further down.

How much does Zeely cost?

Zeely costs $29.95, $49.95 or $79.95 a month at the prices shown, and $49.95, $89.95 or $149.95 at the crossed-out prices. The discount works out to 40.0% on Starter, 44.5% on Plus and 46.7% on Growth. The pricing page does not say which figure you pay after the first cycle. Zeely's Subscription and Refund Policy does say that when a discounted promotional period ends, the subscription "will continue at the standard rate for the option you selected", so the prudent assumption is the higher number.

That gap is the single most important number for a budget. Growth at the crossed-out rate costs $840 a year more than Growth at the price printed largest on the card.

What changed in Zeely pricing

Older Zeely price lists, including an earlier version of this page, described a single Growth plan sold as 2-week, 4-week and 8-week paid trials at $19.95, $29.95 and $49.95 that rolled into $79.95 a month. Zeely's own cost guide, dated February 2026, still describes that model. The live pricing page no longer shows it. It now shows three monthly tiers with separate credit allowances and no free column, so any article still quoting the week blocks is describing a page that has been replaced.

The pricing page contradicts itself twice

The FAQ at the bottom of the same page says Zeely "offers a variety of pricing plans for businesses, starting at $19.99 per month", and that plans come in "monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, and weekly" durations. No card on the page costs $19.99, and every card is monthly. The likely source is the App Store, where several in-app items, including a 1-Week Plan, are priced at $19.99. Either way, a reader who trusts the FAQ and a reader who trusts the cards leave with two different entry prices.

What you get on each Zeely plan

Every plan lists the same twelve features: marketing video ads, edit-ready templates, paid campaigns, viral campaigns, talking reels, prompt to ad, brand-inspired remix, batch static ads, avatar customization, an AI image enhancer, early feature access and priority support. Choosing a tier means choosing a credit allowance and nothing else.

That makes cost per credit the only real comparison between tiers. At the prices shown it is $11.98 per 1,000 credits on Starter, $9.99 on Plus and $8.00 on Growth. At the crossed-out prices it is $19.98, $17.99 and $15.00. What Zeely does not publish is how many credits a finished video ad consumes, so none of those allowances converts into a number of ads before you pay. Its terms also say credits have no cash value and that Zeely may "modify, cancel, restrict, terminate, or eliminate Credits at any time".

Does Zeely charge a fee on ad spend?

Yes, when Zeely runs the campaign. The pricing FAQ says running Facebook and Instagram ads through the app involves additional charges, "with Zeely potentially charging up to 12%". Zeely's 2026 cost guide puts the fee at 12% of your Meta ad budget, or 6% if you buy Booster for $39.95 a year, and its terms say payments connected to advertising campaigns are generally non-refundable.

Above about $666 a month in spend, the fee alone costs more than the $79.95 Growth plan. The guide's claim that Booster "usually pays for itself in the first month" once your budget is over $500 is slightly off: six points of $500 is $30, below Booster's $39.95, so it only pays for itself inside one month from roughly $666 of spend. The fee is tied to campaigns launched through Zeely, not to generating creative.

Is Zeely AI free?

No. The current pricing page shows no free plan, only the three paid monthly tiers. The app is free to download, but Zeely's own cost guide describes its entry offers as "a paid trial, not a free one", and credits for paid features come with a plan or a credit pack. If you want to see Zeely's output before committing, the cheapest honest route is one month of Starter, with a calendar reminder set a few days before it renews.

Zeely app pricing is a separate list

The iPhone app sells its own in-app purchases. In the US App Store the listing includes a 1-Week Plan at $19.99, a 2-Month Plan at $85.99, a 3-Month Plan at $119.99, a 1 Year Plan at $199.99 and a 100 Credits pack at $9.99. Zeely says plans in the app and on the website may vary, and subscriptions bought through Apple are billed, cancelled and refunded through Apple rather than Zeely.

The credit pack shows how wide the spread is. 100 credits for $9.99 is about 10 cents a credit, while Growth on the website works out to 0.8 cents, roughly twelve times cheaper. If you expect to use credits in volume, the website plans are the far better buy.

Can you get a refund from Zeely?

Only in limited cases. Zeely's policy says payments are non-refundable except where it states otherwise or the law requires, and cancelling keeps your access until the period ends without refunding it. The exceptions are Legal Refunds for residents of certain US states and discretionary Optional Refunds, requested within 120 days of a card payment or 180 days of a PayPal payment. Uninstalling the app does not cancel the subscription. What customers report about billing is covered in our Zeely reviews write-up.

Is Zeely worth it?

Zeely is worth it if you sell products yourself, have no advertising experience, and want one app that makes the creative and runs the campaign. Priced on the crossed-out rate plus the ad-spend fee, it competes with hiring a freelancer or learning Ads Manager, and against those options it can look reasonable.

It is a poor fit if you already run ads. Every tier has the same features, the credit cost of a video ad is unpublished, and a 12% commission on a $2,000 month is $240 on top of the plan. Creatify's plans meter video ads in published credits, and the full head-to-head is in our Creatify vs Zeely comparison. If you want finished UGC video ads while keeping media buying in your own ad account, see our Zeely alternative page.

One more thing worth weighing if you are a seller: AI-generated UGC is a supply solution, not a credibility solution. The ads get you reach, but the reason a stranger buys is usually proof that other people already did. Running a system to collect real customer video testimonials alongside your paid creative gives you something no generator can produce, and the two jobs are cheap to run in parallel.

Is Zeely legit?

Yes. Zeely, Inc. lists a registered address in Wilmington, Delaware, publishes its terms and refund policy, and holds 4.6 stars from more than 22,000 App Store ratings and a 4.3 Trustpilot score from 3,796 reviews. The complaints people raise are mostly about billing timing and cancellation, not about a fake product. Read the promotional-period and refund clauses before you subscribe and set a reminder before your first renewal.

Zeely pricing compared to the alternatives

Creatify's own free plan says 10 credits produce up to 2 video ads, which puts a video ad near 5 credits there; Zeely publishes no equivalent figure. For a wider view of the field, our roundup of the best AI UGC ad generators compares tools on output and price, and we give the same treatment to Arcads pricing and Captions AI pricing.

The bottom line on Zeely pricing

Zeely shows $29.95 to $79.95 a month and crosses out $49.95 to $149.95, with identical features on every plan and up to 12% of ad spend on top when it runs your campaigns. If you would pay the crossed-out rate plus that fee for an app that writes your ads and launches them, Zeely is a fair deal and the discount is a bonus.

If what you actually need is a steady supply of creator-style video ads for a testing pipeline you run yourself, compare tools on cost per finished ad rather than on the size of a credit pool. Two pricing pages worth reading next make that arithmetic possible from the outside. Captions AI pricing publishes a flat credit allowance per tier, and Higgsfield pricing publishes a per model, per second credit rate, which is rare enough that you can work out a real cost per thirty second ad before you subscribe.
