Use tool ↗About Waymark
Waymark builds short video advertisements for local and regional advertisers: point it at a business website and it pulls branding, imagery and copy into a scripted spot with an AI voiceover, then hands you a browser editor to adjust it. Deliverables target broadcast and connected-TV specifications rather than social feeds, and higher tiers add language translation, aspect-ratio variants and white labelling. Plans cap finished downloads per month while draft generations stay unlimited.

Pros & cons of Waymark
Built for the people who sell local TV and CTV airtime — broadcasters, agencies and media sales teams who need a spec ad in front of a prospect the same day. For anyone else the entry price is indefensible: $399/month buys two finished downloads.
Pros
- Website-to-ad branding pull removes most per-advertiser setup
- Unlimited draft generations, so you can pitch variations before spending a download
- Output meets TV and digital ad delivery specs, which generic AI video tools do not handle
- 7-day trial on the self-serve Starter tier
Cons
- $399/month monthly (or $350 annually) for two finished downloads is a very high effective cost per video
- Team tier jumps to $1,125/month and is quote-based on volume
- Translations, variations and the template library are gated behind Team
- No public API, so it cannot be embedded in your own workflow without an enterprise deal
Best for
- Broadcast and cable sales reps producing spec ads to win local advertisers
- Agencies producing high volumes of small-business video creative
- Media companies offering self-serve ad creation to their own advertisers
- Work that must land on TV specs rather than 9:16 social cuts
Not for
- Individual creators or small businesses making occasional ads
- Social-first content, which is not what the output is tuned for
- Programmatic generation — there is no developer API on published plans
Watch out: The metering unit is finished downloads, not generations — burn through your two and you are stuck until the cycle resets or you upgrade.
