The Best MakeUGC Alternative
Go beyond talking avatars. Starpop generates hyper-realistic video ads using frontier AI models. Create any scene and any style, not just AI actors reading scripts.
What is MakeUGC?
MakeUGC is an AI UGC video platform that creates talking avatar videos using 300+ AI actors. It offers features like script generation, B-roll creation, product-in-hand videos, and a Video Agent that recreates reference ads. MakeUGC supports 35+ languages with 2-minute average generation times, and is used by e-commerce brands for creating ad creative at scale.
TLDR: Why Choose Starpop Over MakeUGC?
MakeUGC focuses on talking avatar videos with AI actors reading scripts. While it offers useful features like product-in-hand shots, the output still relies on avatar-based generation. Starpop uses frontier models like Sora, Veo, and Kling to create fully realistic video content that goes beyond what avatar tools can produce.
Starpop is best for:
- Brands wanting video content beyond talking-head formats
- Performance marketers needing truly authentic-looking ads
- E-commerce teams creating diverse video styles
- Anyone who's found avatar-based tools too limited
