The MakeUGC alternative for app install ads

Updated September 21, 2026

Teams go looking for a MakeUGC alternative when the recreated ads start to feel interchangeable, or when the credit balance runs out halfway through a test.

Viralway answers both with the same design decision. It only makes app install ads, so the brief carries everything the format needs and the plan is a number of videos rather than a balance.

What you end up with is a set of clips written for your app, sized for the platforms and ready to run against budget on the day they finish.

Side by side

Feature	Viralway	MakeUGC
Built for	Mobile apps and the installs they need	General UGC ads, with a focus on copying a reference
Starting point	A brief about your app and the person you want to reach	An existing ad you paste in to be recreated
Originality	Hooks written for your app, then tested against each other	Structure inherited from whoever you copied
Your app screens	Composited into the clip as part of the format	Added afterwards in your own editor
Pricing shape	Free to try, then $25 and $70 a month for stated video counts	From about $59 a month on a credit balance
Store ready cuts	Sized for App Store custom product pages and Play Store listings	Not part of the product

Prices are the lowest published plan at the time of writing and change often. Check each vendor before deciding.

Originality is a performance feature

Feeds get tired of a structure long before marketers do, and a recreated ad inherits a structure that is already in circulation.

Viralway writes new openings against your own positioning and tests them, so the thing that gets scaled is the line that worked for your app rather than the line that worked for someone else six months ago.

Hooks written from your positioning, not inherited from a reference
Your real app screens inside the shot while the clip renders
Captions burned in for sound-off feeds
Exports for TikTok, Reels, Shorts and Meta, plus store listing cuts
Monthly video counts instead of a credit balance to ration
