# A Creatopy (now The Brief) alternative for images from code

Creatopy became The Brief in October 2025 ("Your login stays the same"), an AI ad creation platform: "Turn your brand and products into on-brand ads. At scale."

## Before you read on

The Brief (formerly Creatopy) is a full ad studio: AI-assisted design, HTML5, AMP and MP4 ads, every format on every plan with no render counting, and publishing to Meta, Google Ads and DV360. For a marketing team making ads by hand and with AI, it does far more than a rendering API.

## The differences, plainly

|---|---|---|
| Cheapest plan | Pro: $39 a month, or $29 a month billed yearly ($348), for one seat — "no credits. no counters" | Starter: $9 for 2,000 renders |
| Free option | A 7-day trial, no card required | 100 renders every month, watermarked |
| Formats | JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, HTML5, MP4, PDF and AMP on every plan | PNG, JPEG, WebP, one-page PDF; GIF and MP4 up to 5 s |
| API | A public API for exports from your designs; their pricing lists it under Enterprise | On every plan, Free included |
| Built for | Marketers and agencies designing ads in an AI ad studio, publishing to Meta, Google Ads, CM360 and DV360 on higher plans | Developers generating images from code and data |
| Integrations | Shopify, Google Drive and Dropbox on all plans; ad platforms higher up; DAMs on Enterprise | HTTP recipes for Zapier, Make, n8n, Airtable and Google Sheets — no native app |

## Which one to pick

- **Take Creatopy (The Brief):** Marketers design and publish ads themselves, need HTML5 or AMP ads, and want flat per-seat pricing with no render counting.
- **Take Shareglint:** Your images come from code and data — product feeds, user content, og:image — and you want the API on every plan.
