Pomelli alternativeBannerifyvsPomelli
Pomelli is a free Google Labs experiment that uses AI to make on-brand social campaigns, ad creatives, and product photos in a web app, where you start each campaign by hand. Bannerify fills your own templates with your data through an API, so the same design renders thousands of times.
Why teams switch
Where Bannerify is different.
Same job: design a template once, fill it with data many times. Different engine underneath.
Runs from your code
Google offers Pomelli as a web app and has not published an API for it. It can send images to Google Ads and Instagram, but a person starts each campaign. Bannerify renders from an API call, a Zapier or n8n step, or an image URL, so each new product or post gets its image without anyone opening a tool.
Your design, every time
Pomelli generates new images with AI, and Google asks you to check that colors, logos, and textures came out right. Bannerify fills the layers of a template you designed, so the layout, logo, and colors stay the same.
Made for volume
Pomelli is free for now. Google says users can make several hundred image and video generations, with no exact number or time period. Bannerify Automate includes 3,000 images a month for $29, or 10,000 for $59, and repeat requests from the cache do not count.
Plan by plan, feature by feature.
Pomelli prices and plan limits checked in October 2026 on the Pomelli pricing page. Pomelli is a Google Labs experiment. It is free for now, in English only, for users aged 18 or older in supported countries. Google says its help center will show any change to the usage caps. Plans change, so confirm current pricing before you buy.
When Pomelli is the better pick.
Bannerify does one job: templates in, images and PDFs out. If your job looks like one of these, Pomelli may fit you better.
- You want AI to suggest campaign ideas and write the copy and images for you.
- You want to turn product photos into studio or lifestyle shots with Photoshoot.
- You make a handful of social posts by hand and want a free tool.
- You also want a brand book or a website made from your brand profile.
Switch from Pomelli in three steps.
- 01
Rebuild one template
Start from a blank canvas or a gallery template, or import a Figma frame with the Bannerify plugin. Text, images, QR codes, tables, and charts are layers that your data can fill.
- 02
Name the layers that change
Give each layer that takes data a name, such as headline or photo. A request changes each named layer and keeps the rest of the design.
- 03
Send your data
Call the REST API or an SDK from your code, or connect a spreadsheet or form through Zapier, n8n, or Pipedream. The free plan gives 100 renders a month to test with.
