Real product, not a wrapperRuns on GPT-4
Zeely combines multiple AI models like Kling and Claude to create marketing videos and avatars, with workflow automation that can generate content and deploy ads in sequence. It's specialized for marketing use cases rather than general content creation. However, it primarily orchestrates existing AI models rather than offering proprietary technology.

Zeely AI ad creative and campaign automation for small businesses, but billing after cancellation is a recurring complaint.

“The video was imbued with the warmth and feeling that I intended; also, the motion was smooth and natural, and the various angles of the views generated of the character were consistent and pleasing! ”
“Their ad's do not work with Meta and realtors. Customer support is all through email or chat. Took me 3 weeks to get no where the whole run an ad in 5 mins is total bullshit. Generic social media content can be created anywhere so don't waste your money and you still have to pay an additional fee for any ad you may run if you can get it approved”
“Simply Easy to do. I was not expecting the quality results. I am so happy.”
“Love it!! Its easy to use and the quality is amazing! ”

“I like the amount of credits provided to make AI videos for my ads. But the AI videos lack substance. But this is my first day using Zeely AI, so I would like to update my review after using, a month from now.”

“They suppose to reimburse me for one month that I stopped and I didn't use the platform and after more than one month I got zero on my card.”
“I pay 80 per month for credits and they remove unused credits rather than letting credits build up. I was sick and unable to use my account for 3 months so they took my 80/month and removed 60k credits. When I called they said if you do not use them you loose them, even if they are paid for. Why spend money on this app when you can get better customer service and roll over credits on cheaper platforms.”

“it is working. talk to the cs chat they can help you understand it. ”
“Don't waste your money or time: This app is so bad that I am finally leaving a review for the very first time. I was charged $80 which I felt would not have been a big deal if the app actually worked. After wasting an hour this morning, trying to create the ad with Zeely. It said that AI was creating my ad and I have still never received my ad and that was two hours ago. I would give it zero stars if that were an option.”
“This is a really bad option. I just paid for two weeks and I'm just starting to figure out the tool. It only made 5 basic photos that I could easily make with other tools. Then I started my first trial video, which didn't even finish before it told me I was out of credits. That's it! I paid $19.95 for nothing. I hope there's a misunderstanding and I can actually use this tool to make my first meta Ad.”
“First time using it the image timed out while creating. It took the points or coins from me for generating the image, but I cannot locate the image so I reached out to get my points back or help finding my image. When I reached out to get help the app kept freezing to where I couldn't even see their replies. I would close the app and restart it to no avail. I was getting notifications that they were replying. All this on day one so I unsubscribed on my free trial.”

“Easy to use, create recreation of photos and talking avatars all make it a time-saver! Also, the online chat help was extremely helpful!”

“DONT GET THIS SERVICE THEY ARE FRAUDS !!! They only answer emails with AI and will keep taking money out of your account after you cancel!! Leave them alone!”
“Absolutely do not download. Do not use. There is no way to cancel and nobody will respond to your emails. I had to contact my bank to procedd chargebacks on them. Keep your fingers crossed for me.”

“It was extremely easy to create my first ad. Ease of use and step by step walkthroughs were great! Love it!”
“Can't Unsubscribe, Run Away. I don't want to make an add, I just want to stop my subscription. Cannot access a login from the website. App will not let me do anything except create an add, which I don't want to do. Shouldn't be this hard.”
“If you're trying to use the "talking head video" feature, warning: The scripts are ridiculous, and trying to edit them after you've generated the video is impossible. You literally have to start over, and after hours of editing and waiting for it to generate, it becomes super frustrating. The weekly billing also give the user extra pressure to use it, only to be frustrated by the things mentioned here. It's just not worth it in my opinion. I dont have a lot of time and money for ridiculousness.”
“The app is fairly easy to use, and allows the user to make suggestions that appear to be understood. I am happy with this product.”
