Higgsfield's blog ranks ten AI video tools for marketing teams in 2026, split into ad generation, editing and repurposing, from its own Marketing Studio to HeyGen, Runway and Adobe Premiere Pro. For a repeatable spokesperson it recommends Marketing Studio: paste a product URL, review the script, attach a Soul ID and generate, with Team plan credits pooled across 2 to 9 seats. Each tool comes with its prices and limits, such as Marketing Studio's 15-second clip cap and Runway's $35 Pro plan covering about 9 clips a month.
