A specialist creative-production option for teams that already have campaign data and a disciplined testing programme, not a shortcut to guaranteed ad performance.
Pencil, explained.
Pencil is designed for performance teams generating and testing paid-social creative. HubAI treats it as a workflow purchase rather than a novelty: the relevant question is whether it produces an acceptable result repeatedly, with controls your team can understand and a cost that remains predictable after the trial ends.

No launch-day score.
HubAI will publish a score only after the same representative tasks have been run against current alternatives. Vendor benchmarks are not treated as an editorial rating.
Cost reality
The subscription price is only the starting point. HubAI evaluates usage limits, failed attempts and the work needed to produce one usable result. Pricing changes frequently, so the structure and verification date matter more than a headline price.
Budget for the result, not the plan badge.
- Published structure
- Current vendor price not verified; confirm plan, currency and UK VAT at the official source.
- Free or trial route
- Current access and plan limits not verified; confirm at the official source.
- Primary cost driver
- creative credits, brands, exports, team seats and media-buyer review
- Budget test
- Record the total cost, attempts and human correction needed to produce ten accepted results.
Separate pricing check date: not recorded. Profile review: not recorded. Confirm live price, VAT, region, usage rights and cancellation terms with the vendor before purchase.
What does one accepted result really cost?
Model your own usage. HubAI separates subscription cost from retries and human review—without pretending a headline plan price tells the whole story.

Do not place confidential, personal or rights-restricted material into Pencil until your organisation has reviewed its current terms, retention settings and account controls. AI output can be plausible and still wrong; regulated, financial, legal and employment decisions require qualified human review.
