Overview
How each tool is described
Hunch
What is Hunch?
Hunch is a creative performance platform for paid-social teams that connects data-driven creative production, campaign execution, and performance insights across Meta, Snapchat, and TikTok.
- Creative automation: teams can build image and video templates in Hunch or import Figma and Photoshop designs, connect catalog or other feed data, and turn one design into large numbers of personalized and localized ad variations. AI tools handle tasks such as background removal, smart cropping, product-color extraction, orientation detection, layout adaptation, and resizing for different placements.
- Campaign execution: Hunch can bulk-create, launch, monitor, and modify paid-social campaigns from the same environment used to produce creative. Automation plans and Autopilot can dynamically populate targeting, budgets, copy, and other campaign values, while rules can respond to inputs such as location, weather, or time of day.
- Performance intelligence: Hunch combines campaign, catalog, and analytics data to show campaign- and product-level performance. Product Insights can combine Meta and Google Analytics data to identify strong and weak SKUs, create Smart Product Sets, and turn performance findings into campaign actions, while Hunch is expanding unified AI-driven recommendations across Meta, Snapchat, and TikTok.
- Commercial considerations: current Hunch pricing starts at €2,500 per month and is based on advertising spend run through the platform. Hunch states that the base offering does not limit the number of ad accounts and includes its core AI and creative-automation functionality, with customers purchasing through a demo-led sales process.
Hunch is most relevant to mid-market brands and agencies running substantial paid-social programs that need to generate localized or catalog-driven creative at scale while keeping creative production, media execution, and performance analysis closely connected.
Arcads
What is Arcads?
Arcads is an AI advertising creative platform for performance marketers that generates video ads using a library of 1,000+ AI actors, custom AI avatars, product visuals, text-to-speech, and multiple AI video models. Its current workspace combines generation, editing, presets, and collaborative creative workflows for producing ad variations at scale.
- Creative role: marketers can turn scripts and product concepts into UGC-style ads, talking-avatar videos, product showcases, app demonstrations, and other performance-ad formats without arranging repeated creator shoots. Users can select an existing AI actor or create custom avatars that can hold products, display apps, or wear supplied items.
- Production workflow: Arcads supports model selection, ready-made ad presets, translation, subtitles, video extension, upscaling, remixing, text-to-speech, and prompt-based emotion control. Localization supports more than 30 languages, while Create Workflow provides a shared canvas for building repeatable creative-production processes.
- Implementation checks: buyers should assess expected generation volume, actor and avatar requirements, localization needs, team workflows, brand-review processes, and API requirements. Arcads focuses primarily on creative production; campaign publishing, store research, and performance analysis require the relevant external advertising or business tools and connectors.
- Commercial considerations: Arcads is sold through Standard and Customized subscription offers, with each subscription providing a defined credit allowance used for video and other generations. Credit consumption can vary by generation type or model. API access is restricted to Customized offers, while customized plans can also support additional credit usage beyond the contracted allowance.
Arcads is particularly relevant to performance marketing teams and agencies that need to produce, localize, and test large volumes of video ad creative without depending on repeated filming, editing, and creator coordination.
