 "best_for": "performance marketers and stores that test many ad variations across sizes and platforms and want on-brand creative volume without a designer bottleneck",
 "skip_if": "you run a handful of static ads a month (a designer or Canva covers it), or your bottleneck is offer/targeting rather than creative volume",
 "honest_knock": "The meter counts downloads, not campaigns — iterate seriously on ad variations and a 10-credit starter evaporates in an afternoon, which is exactly what iteration-heavy ad work does. And the honest fundamental: AI creatives give you volume and speed, but the offer and the hook still decide performance — a mediocre offer with 500 AI banners is 500 mediocre banners. Size the credit tier to your real testing cadence.",
