Creatify Alternative
From your website to a promo video, on your own server.
Creatify makes video ads from a product link, with AI avatars and ad templates. It is closed source, runs in the cloud and is sold as subscription plans with credits.
OpenPromo also starts from a link, but reads the whole website into an editable brand profile and makes posts, carousels, banners, reels, promo videos and tutorials from it.

How OpenPromo differs from Creatify
You control the spending
There is no plan to outgrow. AI calls are billed to your own YepAPI key, every call is logged with its price, and a monthly limit refuses any call that would cross it.
Open source and self-hostable
The whole app is MIT licensed. Run it on your own server with one Docker command, read the code, change it and keep your changes.
Built from your website, with sources
OpenPromo reads your site into a brand profile first. Each selling point keeps the sentence it came from, and figures that are not on your website are flagged before you render.
Made for agents too
An MCP server, a REST API and a Claude plugin let your AI agent read the brand, write ideas and render media with the same limits as you.
When Creatify is the better choice
- You want AI avatars presenting your product.
- Your work is mostly paid video ads and you want ad-focused tooling in one place.
OpenPromo does not publish or schedule posts, and has no AI avatars. It makes the media, from your brand. See every feature.
