What to check before you choose
Watch the trial terms
Several trials need a card and convert to a paid plan unless you cancel. Read the terms before you start.
Check watermarks
Free plans often add a watermark, which most advertisers cannot run.
Price a finished ad, not a plan
Credit plans make the cost of one finished ad hard to see. Work out what one usable ad costs on each plan you consider.
Check what you may do with the files
Read the vendor's terms on commercial use and what happens to your ads if you cancel.
Test more than one version
Whatever you choose, plan to test several versions of one product story against each other.
