AI UGC or UGC creators: which should you choose?
AI-generated UGC is faster and cheaper to produce at volume, ideal for testing many creatives. A human UGC creator brings a real testimonial, a voice and a genuine experience of the product. Many brands combine both: AI to explore angles, creators for the winning messages.

Volume: AI makes dozens of variations easy; a creator produces a limited number of takes
Authenticity: only a human creator can give a genuine opinion about the product
Control: with AI, you adjust the scene, format and duration on every generation

Transparency and advertising rules
An AI-generated UGC video must not be presented as a real customer's opinion. Disclose AI-generated content when the platform or the regulation requires it, and do not make a generated person say things you could not prove.
Frequently asked questions
Does AI UGC replace creators?
Not entirely. It speeds up production and creative testing, but it does not replace a real testimonial. The two approaches complement each other.
How much does an AI UGC video cost?
On UGCjoscos, a 2K scene and an 8-second 480p video come to about 128 credits. Packs start at €19 for 1,000 credits, with no subscription.
Can I present an AI video as a customer review?
No. Generated people are not customers. Present the content as advertising and follow the platforms' transparency rules.
