70% Cost Reductionvs Arcads avatar credits
“We tested Arcads for our skincare brand, but our customers couldn't read the serum bottle and the avatars looked disconnected from the product. With Vadyu, our exact dropper bottle and label are front and center in 4 cinematic cuts. We cut our creative cost by 70% and doubled our creative velocity.”

Your Product Photo as Reference

Vadyu uses your uploaded photo to guide the scene. AI can alter product details, so review labels, packaging and geometry in each shot before publishing.

Multi-Shot Cinematic Ad Cuts

Avoid repetitive single-take talking heads. Vadyu sequences 3 to 4 cinematic cuts: scroll-stopping hooks, product hero reveals, in-use demonstrations, and high-converting CTAs.

$9.90 Finished Ads ($99/mo Starter)

Get 10 finished multi-shot ads and 50 renders for $99/mo. Arcads starts at $119+/mo with restrictive video credits that exhaust rapidly after just a few avatar takes.

Cinematic Audio & Sound Design

Every Vadyu ad includes synchronized audio, voiceover, and sound design tailored for high-converting TikTok, Meta, and Instagram Reels campaigns.
