Who has more features? Creatopy or 8designers?

Creatopy is overall more robust and has way more features that are well polished. On the other hand 8designers was designed with minimalism and simplicity in mind. Our goal was to make it as easy as possible to generate ads from templates, this means we have less features but overall have more quality when it comes to using our API to automate processes.

Who offers integrations?

Creatopy at the moment offers dropbox integrations and google drive but doesn't mention tools like Zapier or Airtable. 8designers doesn't offer any integrations either at the moment, maybe soon. You can automate ads via our API. 

Conclusion?

Both 8designers and Creatopy aim to offer advertisers a way to generate visual content for ads and banners. While 8designers is a cheaper alternative Creatopy offers more features.
