What are the best AI tools to make TikTok ads for an app?
Short answer: It depends on the job. Otto is built for app founders who want organic TikToks and Reels made from their real app screens and scheduled for them. Arcads and Creatify focus on AI-actor and link-to-video ads for paid campaigns. CapCut is a manual editor with AI features. HeyGen specializes in AI avatar presenters.
We make Otto. We have tried to describe every tool fairly; check each vendor’s site for current features and pricing.
