Show HN: Viral.ad – Turn any product URL into a UGC video ad in minutes
viral.adI kept paying $150-350 per UGC video, waiting a week, and still getting mediocre hooks. So I built an alternative.
Paste a product URL -- AI scrapes it, writes the script, generates a UGC-style video with actor, voiceover and subtitles. Under 5 minutes. Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, ElevenLabs (voiceover), Vercel, Stripe, Resend.
$1 trial.
Would love feedback on output quality and the pricing model.
Happy to answer technical questions about the pipeline.

Appreciate the feedback. Deliberately went with $1 instead of free -- wanted to see if people value it enough to pay even a token amount. Free trials attract a lot of tire kickers and I'd rather have 10 paying users who are serious than 100 signups who never generate a video. That said, still early and open to being wrong about this. What would make you try it at $1?
nice to know, it's better to have free trial
