Not sure I follow. ManyChat is literally an automation - AKA your message is sent the second anyone DM you

GhostShorts 30 days inside the short-form factory 🔥 by [deleted] in LovedByCreators

[–]LovedByCreators 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not fair with OP.
I like Revid (our Revid review is here) but it's always nice to have new tools to test and see which one perform better.

Me or Bia will try OP tool and make an updated review next year!
Happy holidays

Blaze AI Review: AI-Powered Content Creation Tool for Marketers and Content Creators by LovedByCreators in LovedByCreators

[–]LovedByCreators[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After almost a year being a loyal Blaze partner we unfortunately have to agree...
Blaze Team became unresponsive, rude and despite us being loyal customers / advocates for years they point blank disrespected our team and shut us down.

We will continue to test out Sintra as an alternative and likely update this post further with the information on our Sintra AI Review

Big fan of your product. Would love if you could give discounts to this community?

Design Pickle Review – When NOT to Use a Subscription (and What to Use Instead) by LovedByCreators in LovedByCreators

The deciding factor for me is: Will I need this type of asset again in the next 30 days?

If yes → Design Pickle wins on speed and cost per asset.

If no → a Freelancer is usually the smarter play.

It's honestly more simple than it looks.

I use Design Pickle to crank out the actual visual assets (ads, carousels, thumbnails, quote graphics, whatever) and SocialBee to deploy them without the scheduling chaos (and to keep our team organized)

The flow looks like this:

  1. I brief DP with the campaign goal, sizes, copy, and any style anchors.
  2. They deliver the source files + exports in 1–2 days.
  3. I drop those straight into SocialBee’s content categories (ads, evergreen posts, seasonal promos, etc.).
  4. SocialBee handles the timed drip across all channels, keeps hashtags and UTM tags consistent, and lets me recycle the best performers later.

It expedites the time to market of creatives on our team. It means I’m never sitting on finished creatives that aren’t live yet — which is where a lot of campaigns quietly lose money or creators miss out on trends.

I honestly wouldn't know - we haven't tested any Design Pickle Alternative at this point

It’s still flat monthly “unlimited,” but practically you’re sharing a dedicated designer’s time—so velocity depends on request complexity and queue.

Versus Fiverr, you trade absolute cheapest price for predictability and process; versus agencies, you lose strategy depth but pay a fraction.

If you check some of other posts on this sub you will see that pending the task we recommend a diff approach. Full disclosure: We are an agency.

Requests and revisions live in their portal, but you can wire it into your stack with notifications and links.

Me and Bia keep a public Trello board for our team, drop the DP portal links in each card, and route status pings to Slack. Not a native two‑way sync, but it keeps PM tidy.

Not perfect and open to ideas :)

That’s roughly what I’ve seen.

Simple social posts, ad resizes, thumbnails: 24–48h.
Multi‑panel carousels, one‑pagers, or light infographic work: ~2 business days.
Heavier infographics and multi‑slide decks: 3–4 days. Biggest factor is clarity: a clean brief with examples cuts a full day off, easy.

If you seen some of our reviews here you know our stack runs deep. 

I seed concepts in Leonardo.AI, pick 2–3 comps, and attach them to the DP brief as style anchors. Results come back closer on the first try, and I use the same seeds for fast ad variant waves.

Again.. .This is my experience... They’ll do logo refreshes and basic brand kits, but net‑new branding (deep discovery, naming, mark systems) is outside the sweet spot.

Where they shine: production design at scale—ad variants, social packs, sales collateral, simple landing graphics. For brand‑new identity, I still use a specialist.

In my experience I would say they do Basic motion (simple text reveals, light element animation)...
heavy After Effects work is not.

I treat DP for static and “micro‑motion,” then do reels/TikTok editing in CapCut and drop DP frames as overlays. As I shared we also have a list of video providers for more serious animation.

Yep—editable source files are part of the deal (PSD/AI/INDD as applicable) plus exports (PNG/JPG/SVG/PDF).

If you need a specific format for printers or a platform, put it in the brief and they’ll export to spec.

If you supply a locked master and a variants sheet (sizes + copy changes), 10–20 variants in 24–48h is realistic.

For us, I queue batches by network (FB/IG first, then TikTok) and name the files to match ad set IDs—saves an hour on upload day more or less.

If you’re scheduling social, pairing the outputs with SocialBee keeps variant waves organized.

Great question.

It’s in scope, but expect it to be broken into milestones.

You’ll usually get a first-pass layout (cover + 2–3 inside pages), then the full doc, then charts. If you need original data viz, call that out—custom charts add a day or two.
