Teams reconsider Soku AI for credit reasons. All work is metered in credits, so heavy tasks cost more and spend is hard to predict. Video needs at least Creator at $19 per month, top-up packs are limited to Starter and Pro, and the Free plan is capped at 1 brand and 1 member.
Jasper starts at $59 per seat per month on Pro, billed annually, with no free plan listed; it is aimed at brand-voice copy. Canva Pro is $144 per year per person and has a free tier, covering design more than ad management. Zapier starts at $19.99 per month on Professional for 750 tasks and has a free tier, useful for wiring marketing apps together. Make starts at $9 per month on Core for 10k credits per month, also with a free tier.
