As a CEO you should always have professional business cards ready to give out and network. Our amazing free templates are here to help you get new business cards, on a budget.

One of the most famous CEO business cards is definitely Mark Zuckerberg’s “I’m CEO, bitch.” It’s funny, unique and minimalistic. In a sense, it shows what any good chief executive officer business card should do: show confidence in a simple, understated manner (while the language of that one isn’t understated, the design certainly is!).

When you’re the top person in the company, a plain name card with your title and the company logo is often all you need to make an impact. However, since you’re probably not Mark Zuckerberg (hi Mark if you’re reading), you may need your overall design to stand a little bit.

We put our talented graphic designers to work and created these awesome free business card templates. To use them simply:

Logo business card

Good logo design lasts. The iconic apple on your iPhone or Macbook has had a few alterations, but the basic idea remains the same since 1977. Apple is a company known for elegant, simplistic design so it’s no surprise that Steve Jobs’ business cards followed this approach: stripped down to the core with just the famous logo design and contact information.

A similar design was used by Larry Page, founder Google, as well as Evan Williams, former CEO of Twitter. The social media platform has one of the most distinct and memorable logos which makes for great and modern business card design (the backside of the card is just the blue bird against a white background).

Our own example is a colorful modern twist on the classic business card which will help you feature your logo prominently.

Futuristic

Steve Jobs’ Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak famously said he created his metal business card to cut steak on airplanes. Whether or not that’s true, the futuristic design of his famous business card can serve as a great source of inspiration for CEOs who are as cool and quirky as Woz!

Our own business card design adapts the futuristic approach in a more understated way. Purple is super popular in SaaS design, so if you happen to be a tech company CEO, this unique business card might just be right up your alley!

Gold

Gold elements appear on the business cards of many famous people, but two good examples to compare are  Barack Obama and Donald Trump. As a United States senator, Obama’s card featured the golden eagle emblem. As CEO of a business corporation, Tump’s name card featured a luxurious and heavy golden ornament. In the first case, gold was used to symbolize authority and importance and in the second wealth and power.

Our graphic designers went with a more understated look, pairing an elegant, matte gold ornament with a classy black business card. This can be a terrific choice for the CEO of a fashion company or anyone in the hospitality industry.

black and gold CEO business card.jpg

Solid color

If you’re the chief executive officer, you don’t need bells and whistles to show that you’re important. On the other hand, a plain white name card may look boring and even sloppy. A great alternative is going with a bold, solid color that will help create a beautiful and creative business card that’s still highly professional.

This great modern business card design would make a great choice for almost anyone, from tech to design company CEOs. One thing to note that this design is absolutely unforgiving when it comes to typos. Always proofread everything and make the same mistake as Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, whose title ended up being a ‘Chariman’ instead of Chairman.

solid color CEO business card.jpg

Initials

As we said in the beginning, there’s something about CEOs retaining a sense of mystery—you won’t see many top people sporting a smiley photo business card. Going with your initials is a step in that direction, as a way of enforcing your own personal brand, which is very important for any chief executive officer.

With this design we opted for a vertical orientation to give the card more interest and a bright orange color. This color is often associated with optimism and communication so it might be a great choice for CEOs of nonprofit organizations. Bill Gates’ retro Microsoft business card was orange so if you’re in the tech business, there are strong historical reasons to go with this color as well!

Classic

Walt Disney was nothing if not a timeless man, so if you’re looking for famous people to provide business card design inspiration, he might be one for you. His simple name card contained just the basic contact information. And if that doesn’t scream confidence I don’t what does!

Again, as a CEO you might not be at Walt Disney’s level yet, so consider this simple business card with just a few details that will help you stand out from the crowd. You can choose the typography that best suits your brand. This classic business card would look equally well with a modern sans-serif as well as an elegant serif font.

Illustration

Jerry Yang, co-founder and former CEO of Yahoo had a fun illustration on his business card way before it was cool. The retro style featured a human figure seemingly jumping for joy (which relates to the company name).

However, illustrations can also be very elegant. This unique business card is a great choice for both CEOs as well as independent consultants. The simple nature-inspired illustration also fits perfectly with several industries including pharmaceutical, fashion, food etc.

Plain

This CEO business card example is a great choice if you’re the CEO of several companies, and don’t want to use a logo on your business card

Although our designers left a space to insert a logo if you wish, this elegant card could work perfectly as a founder and CEO business card for people in the tech/SaaS industry that might have several ventures.

MICROSOFT WORD FILE HERE // ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR FILE HERE

Personal branding 

If you want your CEO business card to focus on your own personal brand, a simple design like this one is a terrific choice.

You can use your company logo or your own initials, and the card would work just as well. You can use a different color for the font, just make sure it won’t harm the readability. 

MICROSOFT WORD FILE HERE // ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR FILE HERE

Vertical black and white

This is another fantastic minimalist CEO business card example that can work for virtually any industry. You can of course change the black or white to fit your brand’s color palette and the card could work equally well.

White marble 

Founder and CEO business cards are often meant to have a luxurious and elegant look (as a way of signaling economic prosperity).

This beautiful business card with marble detailing does exactly that without being too loud or tacky. With a neutral grey color palette the card doesn’t look too dainty, and would fit a number of businesses and industries. 

MICROSOFT WORD FILE HERE // ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR FILE HERE

White square

If you don’t want to go overboard with design, a great way to give your business cards visual interest is a different format.

This elegant square business card would be perfect for a CEO or company founder thanks to its quiet luxury. Of course, before opting to use this card, make sure your selected printing service can handle this format. 

Opting for a thicker card stock is also a great trick to give your cards an even more luxurious feel.

Why do you need digital marketing materials?

If you want to promote your small business effectively, digital marketing materials are a must. By having a variety of assets at your disposal, you can reach more people, connect with them on a deeper level, and ultimately drive more sales and brand recognition.

Plus, marketing materials are great for building trust with potential customers. When people see that you have a professional website and well-designed marketing collateral, they’re more likely to do business with you.

Finally, digital marketing materials can help you save time and money in the long run. By investing in quality assets upfront, you can avoid the need for constant redesigns down the road.

What are Digital marketing materials?

Digital marketing materials are any marketing that is in digital format. This can include website banner ads, social media posts, email marketing campaigns, and even some digital signage.

By using digital marketing materials, businesses can more easily target their marketing efforts to specific demographics and track the results of their campaigns.

Additionally, digital marketing materials can be updated more quickly and easily than traditional marketing, making them ideal for businesses that need to make frequent changes to their marketing strategy. Overall, digital business marketing materials offer several advantages over traditional marketing materials and are an essential part of any successful marketing campaign.

1. Website

0020.png

As the foundation of your digital presence, your website is one of the most crucial marketing materials you need for your small business. Your website should be well-designed, easy to navigate, and informative. It should also be responsive, meaning it looks good on both desktop and mobile devices.

As the foundation of your online presence, your website is one of the most crucial marketing materials you need for your small business. Your website should be well-designed, easy to navigate, and include vital information such as contact information, pricing, and in-depth information about your product or service. It should also be responsive, meaning it looks good on both desktop and mobile devices.

If you don’t have a website for your small business, now is the time to create one. You can hire a web designer to build a custom site or use a platform like WordPress or Squarespace to create a DIY site. Make sure that whichever route you choose, you have a professional and effective website.

2. Social Media Graphics

0019.jpg

ocial media is a powerful marketing tool for small businesses. Not only does it allow you to reach a wider audience, but it also gives you the chance to build relationships with potential and current customers.

To make the most of social media, you need to have high-quality graphics that represent your brand. This could include cover photos, profile pictures, posts, and even ads. If you don’t have a design background, you can hire a graphic designer or use designs from the ManyPixels royalty-free illustrations gallery. There are over 2500 designs you can use.

3. Email Marketing Templates

mp email.png

Email marketing is a great way to stay in touch with your customers and promote your small business. However, if you want people to actually read your emails, you need to make sure they’re well-designed and engaging.

One way to do this is to create email marketing templates that are aligned with your brand. This could include a branded header, color scheme, and even images or videos.

4. Infographics

0008.png

There’s no doubt about it; infographics are one of the hottest marketing tools around. They’re highly shareable, so they can help you reach a wider audience, and they’re also a great way to show off your company’s expertise. Not to mention, they’re just plain fun to look at.

These infographics will also help you gain backlinks to your website, which will help your business’s local SEO presence.

But what exactly is an infographic? An infographic is a visual representation of data or information. They can be used to promote just about anything, from a new product to an upcoming event. And because they’re so visually appealing, infographics are more likely to be shared than other marketing materials for small businesses, like blog posts or whitepapers.

So if you’re looking for a creative way to promote your business, an infographic may be just what you need. Just make sure to put some thought into the design and content, and you’ll be sure to create something that will get attention and get results.

5. Display Ads

0009.png

And because they rely on visuals, they’ll help your business stand out from the competition. Running display ads and having a retargeting campaign in place will give potential customers that your business is everywhere in the online space and inspire a sense of trust.

It will also keep your business top of mind, which is essential for marketing success. So if you’re looking for a way to boost your online visibility, include display ads in your marketing mix.

There are many great places to find templates for this type of graphic. Canva has a great banner library, and the tool also allows you to customize them for your needs.

6. Landing Pages

0025.jpg

If you’re running a small business, then you know that every customer counts. That’s why landing pages are so essential – they’re your chance to make a great first impression and convert traffic into paying customers. A well-designed landing page will help your business stand out from the competition and bring in new customers. 

Think of your landing page as the first impression of your business. It should be clear, concise, and informative, with a solid call to action. Landing pages are also an excellent opportunity to show off your brand personality.  If you are a local business with a Google Business Profile, sending traffic to a dedicated landing page will help conversions.  

So don’t be afraid to have some fun with it!  By including relevant marketing materials and clear calls to action, you can give potential customers everything they need to make a purchase. So if you’re looking to boost your business, start by creating a landing page that will help conversion rates grow.

7. Presentations

If there’s one digital marketing asset people tend to overlook, it’s great presentations. The truth is presentations are a lot more versatile and useful than you think.

Whether you want to present an annual review to your teammates, pitch to potential investors, or create a downloadable lead magnet for prospective clients – a well-designed slide deck is the way to go. 

Although you might think presentation templates will do the trick, it’s not always that simple. Creating something that perfectly aligns with your branding and, more importantly, content will help hold viewers’ attention and instill a sense of professionalism and trust.

8. Ebooks, checklist, case studies

Lead generation is one of the most important digital marketing tactics you can employ. However, in this day and age, where virtually every website has a downloadable freebie to offer, you really need to step up your game to generate leads successfully.

One prerequisite for that is a well-designed lead magnet. This is definitely a task left to a professional designer, especially with long-form content like ebooks. They know how to organize all the information, and add visual assets to create a reader-friendly experience.

Short-form content like checklists or templates is also highly-effective. In this case, you’ll also need a killer lead generation landing page that will give visitors a glimpse of what they’ll get by downloading. 

9. Icons

If you’re like most people, you probably don’t give much thought to icons. But did you know that custom icons can actually be excellent marketing materials for your business? That’s right – a well-designed icon can help your business stand out from the competition.

Think about it – when you see a professional, high-quality icon, it immediately gives off the impression that the company behind it is also professional and high-quality.  And that’s precisely the kind of reputation you want your business to have.

Check out some of our work

ALL OUR WORK

So if you’re looking for a way to give your business an edge, consider investing in custom icons or take a clever shortcut with the ManyPixels free icons gallery. They just might be the secret weapon you’ve been looking for.

10. Videos

Last but not least, videos are an indefensible part of any digital marketing strategy nowadays. This type of marketing and the technical skills needed to create video assets is usually not something you can DIY. So you might want to hire a video marketing agency.

Of course, a great, cost-effective alternative to traditional promotional video are motion graphics. They are highly versatile and can be used for promotional videos, eye-catching social media content, even as a way to boost your site’s performance.

Get all your marketing materials at a fixed monthly rate!

This is by no means an exhaustive digital marketing materials list. And as you might imagine, getting your digital marketing materials on a rolling basis can quickly become expensive if you work with freelancers.

On the other hand, big digital marketing agencies will charge thousands of dollars to handle all your marketing needs.

For a much more sustainable, cost-effective solution check out our creative-as-a-service company!

Starting at just $599 a month, you can get all your digital marketing materials in one place. With our Business plan at $999 a month, you can even request motion graphics and video editing.

Check out these outstanding product packaging ideas that will inspire you to create the perfect package designs for your beauty brand.

Big names in the beauty industry have packaging designs we all recognize from the supermarkets, but for a small beauty brand beautiful creative packaging solutions are extremely important for attracting the right buyers.

Since packaging is an integral part of beauty branding, it’s of course important that your packaging solution fits the overall vision of your brand. Here are some outstanding packaging designs to learn from.

Feel Skincare

Beauty companies often use intricate, decorative designs for beauty product packaging, so if you want to stand out, going with a simpler design could be a great idea. Moreover, the simplicity of product packaging design, often indicates natural, organic ingredients that most people appreciate in their personal care products.

This great packaging design concept for a line of skincare products has a very elegant look. Using different color cosmetics packaging can be a good way to differentiate between different products, but opting for just one color can help you create a strong brand image. In the case of this vegan, cruelty-free beauty brand the natural color choice (it resembles skin) is also meant to signify the focus on high-quality ingredients rather than flashy product packaging.

Clemen sunscreen

Another way to achieve creative product packaging is by experimenting with texture or shape. The packaging design for this sun protection body lotion has a very unique shape, but it’s also a great example of sustainable packaging as these packages are created from 100% reused paper.

The color palette on this skincare packaging design concept is supposed to indicate different skin tones and help buyers easily identify the right choice for them.

Oh La La Lip Balm

Whereas skin care products might be more suitable for minimalistic packaging with a more “organic” feel, lip balms are definitely a type of beauty product where your packaging can be a little more creative.

This great beauty product packaging concept is playful and trendy. Although the colors are vibrant paired with fun illustrations, the overall design still isn’t too noisy or old-fashioned (the minimalist beauty logo fits perfectly on the colorful product packaging). The different packaging options correspond to the different flavors and scents of the lip balm.

Prana

Sustainability is a huge packaging trend, but if you want to attract high-end clients, you’ll also need a luxurious packaging design that draws attention.

Whether it’s a simple micellar water cleanser or hair care products, this beauty packaging delivers a sense of luxury and elegance. The minimalist design signals purity and wellness, while the simple marble pattern gives Prana’s custom packaging a touch of class.

Ahava

Not every beauty packaging design needs to be minimalistic. After all, you want certain products like mascara, lip gloss, or eye shadow to inspire a sense of beauty. Florals are always a great way to spruce up your beauty care packaging, but if you want something just a tad more creative, I recommend you check out the following examples.

These gorgeous packaging designs were made for Ahava’s 30th anniversary, for a range of different products: from body lotion to foot cream. The idea was for up-and-coming artists to create skincare packaging that reflects their own understanding of beauty. The end result is simply stunning, and a true celebration of diversity and beauty.

Save the Forest

This line of products is created by the Korean beauty brand The Face Shop. Apart from the name of the products and the cute animals found on each packaging solution, these cute designs are also eco-friendly and have a minimal environmental impact, as they are made from recyclable paper. This airless powder and bronzer packaging is especially cute, you’d probably feel bad throwing it away even after you’re done using the product!

The fun illustrations found on other products like hand creams and washes are an excellent way to spruce up social media graphics, or even create fun sticker design for your eco-conscious customers.

Lucid Skincare

This concept belongs to a cannabis skincare line and has an adequately creative packaging design. From large packaging for body lotions to droppers with skincare oil and other formulations, these beauty packagings have a very unique look. The idea is to evoke a sense of “high” and clarity and suggest that a little self-care can go a long way.

Biotique

The last example on our list of beauty packaging solutions belongs to a product that traditionally has a more luxurious and intricate packaging than everyday products like lotions or skin care formulations. Of course, we’re talking about perfume.

The custom packaging design for this organic beauty brand is inspired by Romain de Tirtoff, better known as Erté, a French artist of the art deco movement. His magical fashion designs inspired these decorative boxes and bottles containing fragrances made from 100% organic ingredients. The golden version of their beauty logo is another nod to Art Deco that perfectly fits this gorgeous packaging.

Freya

The fantastic thing about this beauty packaging example is that it’s both incredibly current, yet timeless at the same time.

The stripped-down “scandi” style packaging, along with what gorgeous muted colors, feels very contemporary. And yet, simplicity is always a good choice if you want to keep your designs for a long time.

Another great thing about is the use of typography, both in the elegant wordmark logo and on the packaging itself. 

By Marka Works Branding

Ace Beauty

One of the reasons why skincare packaging is often more elaborate than makeup is simply because makeup products tend to be smaller, leaving less space for intricate designs.

However, this beautiful makeup packaging shows that you can do a lot, even with very little. This concept is created for a makeup brand for teenagers, so the packaging is youthful and playful, and doesn’t resemble traditional beauty brand packaging.

Simple design elements like lines and the right choice of color will give your packaging a unique look and help you connect with your target audience.

By Fulya Kuzu

Glo Lip Tint

Gradients can be difficult to get right, especially if you want to make sure the colors look right in print. However with the help of a skilled packaging designer, you can definitely make your dreamy visions come to life.

Oftentimes, lipstick and lip tint packaging matches the actual shade of the product. In the case of this beautiful makeup packaging, the box has a stylish look that would definitely draw attention.

It’s also a great choice for lip tints, as they’re not as intense as traditional lipsticks and lip glosses, and are instead meant to give just a small enhancement to your natural lip color.

By Adel Rodricks

Westside

We’ve seen plenty of examples of beautiful illustrations, color palettes, and stylish typography. The most striking thing about Westside’s fragrance packaging is how well the design elements work with the unique shape.

These playful bottles still create a sense of luxury, even if they inspire a s ense of nostalgia and resemble those children’s perfumes we all had as kids.

Final word

Whether you’re a packaging designer working for a packaging supplier or a retailer of beauty products, we hope this list of unique beauty packaging ideas has inspired you.

There’s more than one way to pair AI and social media. Discover some of the most useful platforms for content creation and social media management.

Ai and social media: a brief overview

According to the latest reports the global market for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in social media  was valued at US$2.4 billionn in 2023 and is projected to reach a whopping US$8.1 billion by 2030.

And we’ve all experienced AI for social media first-hand – just think about how many AI-generated images you come across nowadays. Sometimes the use of AI is obvious, other times not so much.

How to use AI for social media? There’s more than one clever way to do it. From AI-image generation to utilizing AI for data analysis, and keyword research, and managing various social media channels.

We’ll look at three kinds of tools:

  • AI tools for social media graphics
  • AI for creating social media posts (text)
  • AI social media manager tools

AI tools for social media graphics

We’ll start with perhaps the most popular uses of AI for social media: AI-powered design tools.

There are many social media design tools you can use to create your own graphics. However, if you don’t have any design expertise, or simply want to create social media graphics more quickly, some of these AI options can be useful.

Canva

From beautiful templates to extensive features, Canva is the best known DIY design tool for a good reason. Staying on top of the relevant trends, Canva also has an AI tool called Magic.

Pros

  • Generous free plan (37 image credits) 
  • Lots of styles to choose from
  • Easy to edit in Canva 

Cons

  • Better with illustrations than photos

Canva’s tool is perfect for cute illustrations suitable for social media. However, compared to some of the other AI design software it does seem to fall a little short when it comes to photorealistic images. Another brilliant and free feature is the short-video generator, which can be a handy addition to your short-form video content.

Fotor

Fotor is one of the most useful social media design AI tools, as it allows you to create a range of AI-generated graphics, as well as use their AI software for photo editing.

Pros

  • Includes an AI face, image, art, and photo effect generator
  • A library of social media templates
  • Additional photo editing options

Cons

  • AI doesn’t generate a lot of options
  • Limited availability with free plan (you only get 5 free AI-generated images)

One reason why use AI for social media content creation is to get ideas. This is where Fotor falls short. I’ve used the same brief as Canva and it only came up with a couple of ideas, both quite similar.

fotor image 1.jpg
fotor image 2.jpg

Although the free trial is available, it only comes with 5 credits to create images, so you’d soon need to update to a paid plan. You can opt to pay $0.05 per credit (AI-generated image), or get 200 credits a month for $9.99.

Night Cafe

Tis a social media design AI image generator. So even if you don’t get the exact design you wanted, chances are you’ll get plenty of great ideas.

Pros

  • Versatile AI-generated images
  • Different styles
  • It’s free if you create one image at a time.

Cons

  • Dashboard is not very intuitive
  • More useful for digital artists, rather than social media use.

The quality of work is quite good, and as you can see the options are quite a bit more versatile than with the previous examples. That said, you’ll find that the designs are quite intricate, so they might be difficult to adapt for social media marketing in most cases.

Although you can get AI social media design for free with Night Cafe, you must purchase credits in order to generate more than 1 result at a time. The cheapest plan costs $6 per month for 100 credits (1 credit = 4  images).

Narrato

Narrato AI Content Genie is an auto-content marketer that generates 20 to 25 pieces of social media and blog content weekly based on your website URL and themes.

Yes, you heard that right. Just put in your website’s theme and URL and its generative AI will create social media posts on autopilot.

Pros

  • Wide variety of AI tools and visual content templates
  • The SEO brief generator gives you a SEO brief for a blogpost, along with keywords, references, word count, and an SEO score.
  • The dashboard is user-friendly and suitable for beginners

Cons

  • Some technical issues were prompted by users, but nothing major

I created this image using Narrato’s AI Image generator tool. You can choose one of the various image styles – cartoon, realistic, oil painting, 3D render, etc. You can also choose an orientation – portrait, landscape, square, and more.

But what I liked the most was the choice of additional styles – black and white, portrait, close-up, ambient light, and more.

Narrato offers a 7-day free trial but then you will have to pay $36/month for a Pro plan and $76/month for a Business plan. They don’t charge you based on credits.

Narrato also offers social media designs for specifically LinkedIn, so make sure you use this tool if you do LinkedIn marketing.

Pictory

Pictory is an AI tool revolutionizing social media video creation, as it allows users to generate videos from text. It also makes content repurposing easy, since you can edit existing videos.

Pros

  • Pictory is a user-friendly tool that doesn’t require any prior experience in video editing.
  • A wide range of customization options, allowing users to create videos that perfectly match their brand and style.
  • A library of templates that users can use to quickly create videos without having to start from scratch.

Cons

  • Some users have found that the templates offered by Pictory are not always suitable for their needs.
  • Some users have reported that the animations in Pictory can be glitchy or inconsistent.

Pictory offers an all-in-one video marketing toolkit packed with beautiful AI features to simplify video content creation for social. But with their free trial plan you can create 3 video projects, each of up to 10 mins long!

However, if you want the premium features, the plans start at $19/month and can go up to $99/month.

AI social media content writing tools

The other part of a successful social media post is, of course, great copy. Not that long ago it was unthinkable to use AI tools for social media content creation, but nowadays the tools are so advanced that it can be impossible to tell apart copy written by a human and AI.

That said, it’s always advisable to adapt the copy provided by AI creation or paraphrasing tools to fit your brand’s voice and tone. It could be the use of particular emojis or adding a personal anecdote where appropriate. People value authenticity and this is something you should never sacrifice for the sake of speedy social media content production.

ChatGPT

If you haven’t heard about ChatGPT, or even used it – where have you been? This ai chatbot developed by OpenAI released in November 2022 works both as a useful search engine, and an AI writing tool.

Pros

  • It’s free and easy to use
  • The writing is usually quite natural-sounding

Cons

  • You are limited to 2048 characters per response
  • Content is not personalized

AI for social media content is used best when you have the option to provide your input and help these tools “learn” about your style and tone of voice. Unfortunately, this isn’t an option with ChatGPT, so be prepared to work on the copy it provides to adapt it to your needs.

Lately

If you want to step things up with a paid AI content writing tool, Lately is worth checking out. It allows you to input your own data, which the tool then uses along with millions of other data points to create tailor-made content for optimal performance. Pricing starts at $199 per month, which isn’t all that cheap, especially considering that you’ll still have to do some of the writing/editing work yourself.

But, as a paid tool, lately comes with lots of perks.

Pros

  • It processes your social media data to deliver the best results.
  • Learns your brand’s tone of voice
  • Can be used for long-form content as well
  • 7-day free trial

Cons

  • It’s expensive.

CopyAI

If you want to use AI for creating social media posts, you definitely want to check out this tool. Not only is it free, but it’s also created specifically for marketing purposes (unlike ChatGPT which is also meant to offer useful and detailed answers to specific queries).

It also allows you to create your infobase with input that will help the AI tool create more tailored content.

Pros

  • You can create templates
  • Natural-sounding language
  • Intuitive dashboard

Cons

  • It’s still in beta phase.
  • Free plan is limited to 2000 words per month.
  • Some features are only available with the paid plan.

Although the free plan comes with a word count limit, it’s generous enough to be a serious asset for your content creation. If you’d like to have unlimited words, the monthly payment is just $49 per month (or $36 if billed annually).

Finally, like most other AI writing tools, we still have to see how CopyAI will perform. However, for the time being it’s one of the best AI social media tools to use for creating social media posts.
