MiniSocial details come from its own MiniSocial home page and FAQ pages, as of October 14, 2026. "Not published" means we could not find it stated there. Ad Army details come from our pricing page, content rights page and attribution page.

Pricing and total cost

MiniSocial has no pricing page. Its home page FAQ says projects start at $3,000 for a campaign of 10 creators, including all creator fees, priced by the number of creators you want to activate, with no long-term commitments or extra fees. It does not say how long each creator's video is, or how many pieces each creator delivers, so we can't compare it directly with ten 30 second videos.

Ad Army publishes each format: $125 for a 15 second edit, $175 for 30 seconds with three hook variations, and $260 for 60 seconds plus raw footage. Ten 30 second edits cost $1,750, billed only for videos you approve. The cost per video guide covers how to compare a project price with a per-video price.

Who picks the creators

MiniSocial selects relevant micro-influencer creators and invites them to opt in, and you review and approve the creators before they start. It says each creator is vetted twice and cites a network of 40,000 creators.

Ad Army casts from its own vetted roster too, but you don't approve or see individual creators: they stay anonymous to brands, and you review the finished videos instead. If you want a say in exactly who represents your brand, MiniSocial's approval step gives you that.

Rights, whitelisting and reporting

MiniSocial says you get fully licensed videos plus Meta and TikTok ad codes, that you can use the content anywhere and for as long as you want, and it lists Partnership Ads, whitelisting, Spark Ads and TikTok Shop as included. Ad Army also includes full content rights on every video for organic, ads and any placement, with no expiry, and charges $50 per video for Spark Ads or whitelisting, only if the creator agrees.

Timing and revisions differ too. MiniSocial says most campaigns take 4 to 6 weeks from brief to finished content, with one round of revisions included. On Ad Army you set the due date, from 10 days out, and revisions continue until you approve. MiniSocial does not publish its reporting; Ad Army reports each approved video with last-click attribution, hook rate, hold rate and ROAS.

When MiniSocial is the better choice

  • You want creators posting to their own followers, not only ads you run
  • You want to approve each creator before they start
  • You want a micro-influencer campaign and a photo and video library in one project
  • You want ad codes and TikTok Shop included in the project price

When Ad Army is the better choice

  • You want a price per approved video rather than per project
  • You want edited ad cuts with hooks, captions and music
  • You want revisions until approved, and a due date you set
  • You want results per video, with last-click attribution and ROAS
