Shotz vs MakeUGC

MakeUGC makes UGC-style videos with AI creators who talk about your product, from a script it can write for you. Shotz makes UGC ads from your product, a creator and a brief, then builds each one as an edit with hooks, product shots, captions and music you can change.

MakeUGCWhat it’s for

Quick UGC videos. An AI creator talking about your product, for ads and social.

ShotzWhat it’s for

Ads you can finish. A cut per hook with product shots, captions and music, in a real editor.

The short version.

A clip or an ad

MakeUGC gives you the creator talking. Shotz gives you the ad around them.

Your product in shot

Shotz makes product stills and clips from your product photos, without inventing a logo.

Edit after

Every ad lands on a timeline, so a new hook is a change, not a new video.

Side by side.

An honest look at what each tool is built to do. Plenty of people use both.
