Sounds great, but I have a few questions...
Lumen5 starts around $29/mo. What does Klip Kanvas cost?
Lumen5 is priced like a monthly template-video SaaS. Klip Kanvas is not sold as a monthly plan — it is $49 for two weeks, $69 for four weeks, or $119 for eight weeks, with URL-to-UGC video ads, statics, viral hooks, and 30+ languages on those packages.
We already template social clips. Why is ROAS still flat?
Lumen5 is stock-first, not offer-first. Klip Kanvas reads the product URL, drafts conversion hooks, matches a casual UGC avatar, and renders variations so media buyers are testing ads, not brand-kit templates.
Can we get actors instead of stock scenes?
Lumen5 has no UGC avatar pipeline. Klip Kanvas outputs talking-head UGC video ads, static ads, and launch-ready creatives for Meta and TikTok — plus a timeline editor when you need to swap hooks, captions, or voiceovers.
