Everything Superside doesn't do and 30-40% less for what it does.
Their published services cover production. The other four links, intelligence, strategy, influencer and campaigns, land back on your team. Quickads runs all five.

What the chain is built on.
Quickads is the full-chain alternative to Superside. Superside produces creative from $10,000+ a month on a 12-month contract, and its published scope ends at the deliverable. Quickads covers creative intelligence, strategy, production, influencer and campaign management in one place. 100+ creatives a month, 5-7 day turnaround, 30-40% below Superside, on a 6-month managed term.

Structural comparison of how each business is built, not a performance claim. Superside does not publish pricing; the figures shown are market-reported ranges and per-asset rates. Quickads is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Superside. Commercial terms change, so confirm current terms with each vendor before you commit.
Key takeaways
- You buy one link and inherit four. Superside's published services cover production. Intelligence, strategy, creators and media buying aren't listed, so they stay with your team.
- Motion video is priced per asset. At the $2,000-4,000 per-video rate buyers report, $10,000 of motion video is two to five finished assets. Quickads ships 100+ creatives a month across every format.
- The commitment is twice as long. A 12-month minimum, versus a 6-month managed term at 30-40% less for comparable scope.
- Strategy isn't an add-on here. Computer-vision models trained on 32M+ ads surface the winning patterns, and strategists turn them into angles before anything gets made.
- AI handles form, humans own substance. Our models draft at volume; our strategists write the hooks, set the angle and sign off on compliance before anything ships.
One link, or the whole chain.
Performance creative is five jobs. Superside's published services cover one. Here is which four come back to you.
The solution
The problem
"Not listed" means it isn't in Superside's published service pages, so it's work that lands back on your team. Four of the five links, and they're the ones that decide whether the creative works. That is the difference between buying creative and running growth.
The output, not just the argument.
Real creative produced in Quickads - UGC, product video, catalogue and on-brand static, across every ratio the feed needs.
Sample output produced in Quickads across formats. Video plays on tap so the page stays fast. Creative shown is illustrative of format range and production quality, not a claim about any individual campaign's results.
Four problems a production-only vendor leaves you.
Each one is a direct consequence of buying production on its own. Each one is something we cover.
The strategy is still your job
Production gets briefed. The hypothesis, the hook, the angle and the read on what's already working in your category are inputs you have to supply. Brief it wrong and you get a beautifully made wrong ad.
The angle arrives with the creative
Computer-vision models trained on 32M+ ads surface what's winning in your category now, and strategists turn that into angles before anything gets made.
Motion video priced per asset
At the $2,000-4,000 per-video rate buyers report, $10,000 of motion video is two to five finished assets. Paid social fatigues faster than that, and a 12-month minimum doesn't flex with your testing volume.
100+ creatives a month
Scope set by output rather than hours, across ads, motion banners, lifestyle banners, email graphics and pages, on a 5-7 day turnaround.
Their published scope ends at the file
You rebuild the assets into ad sets, brief the creators separately, buy the media yourself, and carry the coordination between separate vendors who have no reason to talk to each other.
One partner through to live
The same team runs the influencer and UGC layer, publishes to Meta, TikTok, Google and YouTube, and manages the campaigns, so media learning feeds the next brief.
Twelve months minimum
From $10,000+ a month on a 12-month minimum, so the commitment is fixed for a year while your testing volume isn't. Pricing is quote-only, which means a sales cycle before you see anything.
Half the commitment, 30-40% less
A 6-month managed term at 30-40% below a comparable Superside engagement, roughly half what the same capability costs in-house, with software you can run yourself first.
What does a creative month buy?
Set your monthly creative budget. The left side prices it at Superside's reported per-video rate. The right side is our stated throughput. This is volume arithmetic, not a performance forecast.
Illustrative arithmetic, not a quote from either company. The left figure divides the budget you set by the $2,000-4,000 per-motion-video rate buyers publicly report; Superside does not publish pricing and actual scope, formats and rates vary by account. The right figure is our standard managed throughput and is fixed, not calculated from the budget you select. It is not a per-asset price for Quickads.
What a production brief never includes.
Three jobs that decide whether creative works, all of which sit before or after production.
Creative intelligence
Computer-vision models trained on 32M+ ads read the patterns winning in your category now, so a brief starts from evidence instead of a moodboard.
One brief, many variations
The same input becomes a full wave across every format and placement, so your buyers always have fresh angles rather than guarding two winners.
Creators and campaigns
The same team sources and briefs creators, publishes to Meta, TikTok, Google and YouTube, and manages the campaigns, so media learning feeds the next brief.
Every dimension, side by side.
Every row carries the reason it matters, so you can weigh it against your own account rather than ours.

Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost and commitment | |||
| Relative cost | ✓ 30-40% below Superside | From $10,000+ a month | The reason most teams compare in the first place. |
| Minimum term | ✓ 6 months, managed plans | 12 months minimum | Match the commitment to your planning cycle rather than a vendor's fiscal year. |
| Cost vs in-house | ✓ Roughly half | Not published | For most teams the real alternative is hiring, so that's the number worth beating. |
| Self-serve entry point | ✓ Software you can run yourself | Quote via demo | See the output before you commit budget to it. |
| Throughput | |||
| Volume per month | ✓ 100+ creatives | Scoped per brief | The algorithm needs fresh angles continuously, not a few hero assets. |
| Turnaround | ✓ 5-7 days | Scoped per project | You refresh what's working while it's still working. |
| Creative hit-rate | ✓ ~3x lift across the managed accounts we've measured | ✕ Not a published deliverable | More of what ships is worth keeping, so fewer assets are made to be discarded. |
| The four links you'd otherwise own | |||
| Creative intelligence | ✓ Models trained on 32M+ ads | ✕ Not in their published services | Start from what already works in your category, not a moodboard. |
| Creative strategy | ✓ Strategists set the angle per brief | ✕ Not in their published services | Someone has to decide what to test. Otherwise it's you. |
| Influencer at scale | ✓ Sourcing, briefing, delivery | ✕ Not in their published services | Creator volume is its own operational job. |
| Campaign management | ✓ Meta, TikTok, Google, YouTube | ✕ Not in their published services | Creative and media decisions stop being separate conversations. |
| What sits outside our scope | |||
| Brand systems and 3D | Not our focus | Covered, 20+ design services | If you're building a flagship brand system, that's a studio's job. |
| Print, packaging, offline | Out of scope | Covered | Performance creative is a different job to broad brand design. |

Sources. Service range is taken from Superside's own published service pages. Rows marked "not in their published services" describe what those pages do and do not list, not a claim about their internal capability. Superside does not publish fixed prices, so every monetary figure here - the $10,000+ monthly entry point, the 12-month minimum and the $2,000-4,000 per-motion-video rate - is a range publicly reported by buyers, not a Superside quote. Quickads is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Superside. Verify current terms with each vendor before deciding.
Buying creative, or running growth.
One model hands you files. The other stays on the account through to live campaigns.
The problem
A production line you have to feed.
Their published services cover production. Every ask is a brief you write, a queue you wait in, and a file you receive, on a 12-month minimum from $10,000+ a month.
Deciding what to test, reading your category's winning patterns, running your creators and buying the media aren't listed in that scope. Once the file lands, everything after it is yours.
The solution
The whole chain, run with you.
Our models read what's winning in your category from 32M+ ads, our strategists turn that into angles, our production ships 100+ creatives a month in 5-7 days, and the same team runs the creators and the campaigns.
AI handles form. Humans own substance. Run the software yourself, or hand the whole thing to a managed pod, at 30-40% below Superside either way.
Three structural consequences.
Not opinions. Direct results of how each business is built, and what each one costs you in practice.
Output-based scope beats a fixed minimum.
The problem
From $10,000+ a month on a 12-month minimum. At the $2,000-4,000 per-video rate buyers report, that budget maps to a handful of finished motion assets, and the commitment stays fixed for a year regardless.
The solution
Scope set by output rather than hours. 100+ creatives a month across formats, at 30-40% below a comparable Superside engagement, on a 6-month managed term. Roughly half what the same capability costs in-house.
A brief you write, or an angle we bring.
The problem
Production is briefed. The hypothesis, the hook, the angle and the read on what's already working in your category are inputs you supply. Get the brief wrong and you get a beautifully made wrong ad.
The solution
Computer-vision models trained on 32M+ ads surface the patterns winning in your category now. Strategists turn those into angles before anything gets made, then sign off on brand fit and claims before it ships.
File delivery, or live campaigns.
The problem
Their published scope ends at handoff. You rebuild the assets into ad sets, brief the creators separately, buy the media yourself, and carry the coordination between separate vendors.
The solution
The same partner produces the creative, runs the influencer and UGC layer, publishes to Meta, TikTok, Google and YouTube, and manages the campaigns, so what's learned in media feeds the next brief.
Four products, two honest exclusions.
How teams arrive here, which product answers it, and where we'd point you elsewhere.
Many listings or SKUs
Hundreds of products, each needing on-model, on-brand, correctly-proportioned creative. Our Enriched Catalog product handles catalogue-scale production without a shoot per SKU.
Few SKUs, heavy paid spend
A small product range burning through creative because spend is high and fatigue is fast, often in a regulated category. Claims-Safe Volume Creative is built for exactly that pressure.
An in-house team that needs leverage
Good designers, not enough hours. The Creative Capacity Engine gives your existing team throughput without another headcount req or another retainer.
No team to run it
You'd rather hand the whole thing over than learn another tool. Managed Creative Capacity is a done-for-you pod: intelligence, strategy, production, creators and campaigns, staffed by us.
Where we're not the answer
A single flagship brand film, a full rebrand, packaging, print, or 3D and AR work. That's a production studio's job, not ours. We'd tell you so on the call.
Running both
Plenty of teams keep a studio for brand work and move only the high-velocity paid pipeline to us. That's a normal outcome, and usually the lowest-risk way to start.
Which one should you pick?
If the left column describes your job, a production-only vendor is enough. We'd rather lose the deal than sell you the wrong shape of help.
- You're building a brand system, not feeding paid channels.
- You need print, packaging, 3D or AR alongside digital.
- You want one named creative director owning the craft.
- A 12-month commitment from $10,000+ a month fits your planning cycle.
- Your bottleneck is polish, and your strategy is already settled.
- Creative volume is what's capping your paid growth.
- You want the strategy and the category read included, not briefed.
- You need 100+ creatives a month across every placement.
- You'd rather commit for 6 months than 12, at 30-40% less.
- You want creative, creators and campaigns run by one accountable partner.
