What you get when you switch from Arcads

Make AI UGC-style ads from the hooks already winning

The Creative Generation Agent lets you make ready-to-launch AI UGC-style video ads up to 30 seconds from the hooks, scenes and CTAs winning in your own accounts, each with a "Why this ad" reason. Videos come finished, with clips stitched, lip-synced voiceover, music and captions in place, in any language, and export in each network's aspect ratio. You can also start from your own scripts, footage or product shots, and make statics from the same winners.

Where Arcads stops: it generates from the script, brief, product photo or reference ad you give it, so the angle is your call

See which ads win on every network you buy on

The Creative Tagging Agent lets you tag every live ad across 15+ ad networks, down to which AI actor or presenter appears, the hook, on-screen text, dialogue, music and CTA, each mapped to ROAS, CPA, IPM, CTR, hook rate and thumb-stop rate. Connect AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch, Singular or Kochava to judge ads on post-install revenue too.

Where Arcads stops: its Mark agent can analyze a Meta campaign, and Arcads documents no other ad network and names no MMP

Catch a tiring ad, and score new ones before you spend

Segwise alerts you by email or Slack when an ad crosses fatigue thresholds you set, for example a 20% ROAS drop over 7 days. Pre-flight Testing lets you score up to 10 new creatives at a time before launch, each out of 100, against the ads already winning in your account, with a run or hold verdict and the reasons.

Where Arcads stops: Arcads does not describe fatigue alerts or pre-launch scoring

Get statics, playables and CTV spots too

Make statics next to your UGC-style videos. The Segwise team builds playable ads from your winning elements, and 15 or 30-second CTV spots, as a managed service.

Where Arcads stops: Arcads makes video and image ads, and does not mention playables or CTV

Track competitor ads in four ad libraries

The Competitor Tracking Agent lets you follow the brands you choose across the Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn and Google ad libraries, with their ads AI-tagged the same way as yours, so you see the hooks and formats they lean on.

Where Arcads stops: it syncs the Meta Ad Library, sorted by spend, impressions and run time

Segwise has become an important part of our creative analysis process. It makes it easy to identify creative patterns and insights that directly inform future creative development and testing. The team has been a fantastic partner, proactively helping us uncover new opportunities and approaches. Our Creative and Growth teams find it a valuable resource across functions.

Segwise changed how our team operates. It reads our performance data, spots the winning patterns, and turns them into fresh on-brand creative across every brand we run, all on schedule. What used to take days of manual work now happens automatically, which lets my team focus on strategy instead of production.

The answer I needed used to be a day of exporting and cleaning up spreadsheets. Now it is a question I ask in the middle of a conversation, and I trust the numbers because they are tagged the same way every time.

I'd recommend Segwise to any growth team that regularly needs new creative concepts. The teams who benefit most are the ones with a bottleneck between creative ambition and production capacity at scale, which for us was hundreds of slot themes and limited production resources. Beyond the product itself, their team is very responsive and feature requests get implemented quickly.

Before, if our creative lead said something would work, we kind of just had to trust him. Now he can show you exactly what's driving it, and our briefs are a lot clearer. We're not guessing as much.

Segwise has eliminated our creative tracking bottleneck. We are now able to understand the impact of our creative variables without the hassle of manually tagging them. We also get automated fatigue tracking across every ad network - our team's time has been saved from data compilation to actual creative strategy, allowing us to scale our app faster.

It's absolutely worth trying. Teams that stand to gain the most are those managing creative across multiple networks with fragmented attribution and reporting. That's exactly the pain point where Segwise adds the clearest value.

We've been able to identify patterns across campaigns, objectives, and cities, which has helped us give our design team much clearer direction on what's actually working instead of relying on intuition.

Our creative design team now has direct creative tag-level visibility they didn't have before, giving them real-time access to close the loop on performance.

In under a year Segwise has gone from a solid creative analysis platform to a full-on, AI-operated creative generation tool. The speed and ease with which their agents analyse and generate high-quality assets is remarkable. Incredibly responsive team too. I cannot recommend these guys enough!

Frequently asked questions

What is Segwise?

Segwise is an AI creative analytics and creative generation platform that helps UA, performance marketing and creative teams find their winning creative patterns and turn them into new ads. It connects 15+ ad networks and five MMPs (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch, Singular and Kochava), tags every creative element with multimodal AI across video, audio, image, text and playable ads, alerts you to creative fatigue by Slack or email, tracks competitor ads in the Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn and Google ad libraries, and scores new creatives before launch. The Creative Generation Agent lets you make statics and videos up to 30 seconds, including AI UGC-style ads, from your own winning patterns, and the Segwise team builds playable and CTV ads as a managed service. You can use each agent on its own, or do it all in one place by chatting with the Segwise agent: ask how your ads are performing, see what competitors are running, and make new ads from your winners.

Does Segwise make AI UGC ads like Arcads?

Yes. The Creative Generation Agent lets you make AI UGC-style ads: AI-generated, UGC-style video, not filmed creators, finished with clips stitched, lip-synced voiceover, music and captions, in any language for voiceover and on-screen text. Each one starts from the hooks and angles already winning in your accounts, or from your own scripts, footage and product shots, and comes with a "Why this ad" reason. Segwise is not an avatar marketplace. Arcads offers 1,000+ AI actors based on real, paid people, custom actors and self-cloning, and Segwise does not make custom or cloned avatars of real people.

How much does Segwise cost?

Segwise starts at $499/month for advertisers spending up to $250K/month, with a special 50% discount for startups spending under $50K/month. Spending more than $250K/month? Book a demo and we'll share pricing. The 7-day free trial needs no credit card, and every plan includes unlimited seats.

When is Arcads still the better choice?

As a rule of thumb, Arcads is still a good fit if you mostly need talking-actor video, buy mainly on Meta and already know which angles work. Its strengths are a library of 1,000+ AI actors, custom actors and self-cloning, a wide choice of video models with a timeline editor, and lip-synced translation into 176 language and accent options. Its agent and MCP can also make and publish Meta ads. You can keep Arcads for actor footage and use Segwise to decide what to make and to track each ad once it is live.

How do I switch from Arcads to Segwise?

Start the 7-day free trial at ua.segwise.ai with no credit card, or book a demo. Connect your ad networks and, if you use one, your MMP (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch, Singular or Kochava). Setup is no-code, and most teams connect in minutes. Some networks (AppLovin, Mintegral, Unity and Moloco) ask you to paste an API key from the network's dashboard. Segwise imports up to 14 days of history on the free trial and up to 3 months on paid plans, and tags every ad as it comes in, so you do not need to copy tags over. You can add custom tags and pull tags from the naming conventions you already use. Keep Arcads running during the trial week and compare what each tool shows you before you cancel anything. Arcads Starter and Creator credits reset each cycle, while Pro, Scale and Business credits roll over, so time any downgrade to use what you have left.

What ad networks and MMPs does Segwise connect to?

Segwise connects to 15+ ad networks, including Meta, Google Ads (with YouTube), TikTok, Snapchat, AppLovin (Axon), Unity Ads, Mintegral, Moloco, Liftoff, LinkedIn, Reddit, Taboola, StackAdapt and Bidease, plus five MMPs: AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch, Singular and Kochava. Setup is no-code, and most teams connect in minutes. Some networks (AppLovin, Mintegral, Unity and Moloco) ask you to paste an API key from the network's dashboard. An MMP is optional.
