MakeUGC makes UGC-style video ads with AI actors: you pick an actor, paste a script or let it write one from your product page, and the actor says it to camera, in 50+ languages. If you are looking for a MakeUGC alternative, start with what MakeUGC does better: an actor library of 300+ on its smallest plan and 1,000+ on Pro, actors that hold your product, ready-made ad templates and batch variations. Kinoseed is a smaller tool built around the product itself: you give it a product photo, it makes the clip on Kling, Veo or Seedance, and the price is on the button before each run.
Kinoseed is an independent product and is not affiliated with MakeUGC. MakeUGC facts below are from its public pricing page, its home page and its API limits page, read on 13 Nov 2026. They can change; check makeugc.ai for current terms.
Cheapest way in: a 6 s MiniMax Hailuo 2.3 Fast clip is 40 credits ($0.80 on the $10 Basic plan), as of 13 Nov 2026. Same-model comparisons are in the table below.
Credits you keep: if you make 4 MiniMax Hailuo 2.3 Fast clips a month (6 s, 40 credits each) on the $10 Basic plan, after 3 months you have 1,020 credits left here, because unused credits roll over. On a plan whose credits reset monthly, the unused credits are gone at each renewal, so you keep 0. This compares leftover credits only, not price per clip.

MakeUGC figures are from makeugc.ai/pricing (plans and FAQ) and makeugc.ai/docs/api/v2/limits (credits per generation), read signed out on 13 Nov 2026. The MakeUGC dollars are our arithmetic at Starter's price per credit; bigger and yearly plans cost less per credit. Pro's allowance is printed as a range; we use the low end. Kinoseed figures are read from its billing and pricing code; dollars at the entry plan.
What you need
- A product photo, or a link to your product page.
- For a UGC Ad clip, a front-facing photo of yourself or of someone who has agreed to appear in your ads, and one line about the product.
- A Kinoseed account with credits. Generating starts with a plan; the $10 Basic plan (500 credits a month) covers 12 product ads from a photo or 4 UGC Ad clips with sound.
Step by step
- 1
- 2
Pick the model, or let the agent pick
The agent chooses a model and a shot. In the Video studio you can pick Kling 4.0, Veo 3.1 or Seedance 2.5 yourself, each on the same credits.
- 3
Add a creator-style clip
In UGC Ad, upload a portrait, write one line about the product and an optional spoken line, and pick a vibe. You get an 8 second vertical clip of that person presenting it to a phone camera.

Check the price, then cut the ad
The price is on the button before each run, and a failed run is refunded in credits automatically. Put the UGC clip in front of the product clip in any editor and post both as ad variants.

What MakeUGC does well
AI actors and scripts. MakeUGC has 300+ AI actors on Starter and 1,000+ on Pro, voices in 50+ languages, voice cloning, and a script writer that starts from your product page URL. A talking actor video takes a script of up to 1,500 characters for 100 credits, so a long talking ad costs far less per second there than a chain of short clips here. Kinoseed has no actor library and no script writer.
Your product in the actor's hands. Product in Hand puts your product in the actor's hands on camera, and Ad Remake makes a version of a known ad with your product. Kinoseed's UGC Ad draws the product from your one-line description, so to show your real product you use a product clip instead.
Volume. Batch Mode makes variations from one brief, Growth and Pro run several videos at once, and on a yearly plan its credits cost less. Its API page prices Seedance 2.5 at 720p at 16 credits a second, so 5 seconds is about $9.44 on Starter billed monthly and $4.64 billed yearly by our arithmetic, against $8.60 here. On a yearly plan MakeUGC is cheaper per Seedance clip.
Where Kinoseed differs
Made around the product photo. From one photo, the agent's product ad is 40 credits ($0.80): an 6 second vertical clip with a slow camera move around the product. The product on screen is the one in your photo.
A short UGC clip without a subscription to an actor library. UGC Ad makes 8 seconds of a person you bring talking about the product on Seedance 2.0 Mini, 9:16, for 110 credits with sound ($2.20). That is a hook length, not a full minute of testimonial.
No yearly prepay to get the low price. Kinoseed's entry plan is $10 billed monthly; MakeUGC's lowest prices are on yearly billing, and its smallest plan billed monthly is $59. Kling 4.0 at 1080p is 220 credits for 5 seconds ($4.40) here, on every plan, while MakeUGC's Starter exports up to 720p.
Credits you keep. Unused credits stay on your account: each month's credits are added to what you have left, so they roll over month to month, and they stay after you cancel. Billed monthly, no yearly prepay needed, cancel anytime. MakeUGC's pricing FAQ says its credits refresh monthly and do not roll over.
What Kinoseed does not do
There are no stock AI actors, no actors holding your product, no script writer, no ad templates, no voice cloning, no batch mode and no $1 trial, and a long talking video costs more here. If you want dozens of actor variations of a one-minute script in several languages, MakeUGC does that and Kinoseed does not.
Which to pick, by job
Many talking-actor ads from a script, with an actor holding your product and translated versions: MakeUGC. A product clip from your own photo on Kling, Veo or Seedance, a short creator-style hook with a person you bring, the price shown first, monthly billing and credits that stay after you cancel: Kinoseed.

- MakeUGC's credits refresh monthly; use them before the renewal.
- A clean product photo on a plain background gives every model a better start.
- For UGC Ad, a front-facing portrait in daylight works best, and the person must be you or someone who agreed to it.
