AI Carousel Maker Pricing in 2026: Every Tool Compared (Updated Monthly)

How much does an AI carousel maker cost in 2026? For dedicated carousel tools, entry paid tiers cluster between $9 and $19 per month: CarouselMaker.co at $9, Carousel Studio at about $10, aiCarousels at $14.95, PostNitro and ContentDrips at $15, and Canvora and Supaslides at $19. Where carousels are one feature inside a broader social media suite, expect $29 to $65 per month. Free tiers exist, but they are shrinking across the category. All prices in this post were last verified in August 2026, and the changelog near the end dates every recent change.

This page is a pricing index, not a feature review. We make one of these tools (Supaslides), we say so openly, and every number below comes from the vendor pricing pages we track for our comparison pages. If you want the feature-by-feature verdicts instead, start with the honest roundup of AI carousel generators and come back here for the dollars.

The market at a glance

One line per tool: the entry paid price, then what the free tier gives you.

• Supaslides: Pro $19/month for 20 carousels; free plan with 3 watermarked carousels a month.
• PostNitro: Starter $15/month ($12.50 on annual billing); free tier is 5 watermarked downloads.
• aiCarousels: Pro $14.95/month, so about $15; free tier is 3 watermarked carousels a month, no sign-up needed.
• ContentDrips: Starter $15/month; free tier is a one-time 50 credits.
• Canvora: entry at $19/month; a free plan exists and includes API and MCP access.
• Carousel Studio: about $10/month as a Canva app ($120 billed yearly); free tier is 50 credits with a watermark.
• CarouselMaker.co: Pro $9/month ($7.50 on annual billing); free tier is 10 credits, 3 downloads a day, watermark on.
• Predis.ai: Core $32/month, or about $19/month billed annually; the free plan was discontinued, replaced by a 7-day trial.
• Supergrow: the carousel maker requires Pro at $39/month; the $19 Starter does not include it; no free plan.
• Taplio: AI carousel generation requires the $65/month Standard tier; Starter is $39; no free plan.
• Genviral: Creator $29/month ($24 on annual billing); a free sign-up is advertised but its limits are not published.

The $9 to $15 budget band

The dedicated, carousels-first end of the market. You give up brand automation, scheduling or polish somewhere; in exchange the price stays low.

• CarouselMaker.co, $9/month ($7.50 billed annually). The price floor of the category, with unlimited fair-use generation, up to 20 slides and, unusually at this price, MP4 video export on the cheapest plan. The tradeoff is a very tight free tier and a template-first look. See the CarouselMaker.co comparison.
• Carousel Studio, about $10/month. A Canva app rather than a standalone product: prompt in, slides out, finishing happens in the Canva editor. Its pricing page shows both a $10 monthly sticker and $120 per year, which imply different monthly rates, so confirm at checkout. Brand setup is manual theme picking. See the Carousel Studio comparison.
• aiCarousels, $14.95/month. Unlimited carousels, custom branding and watermark-free exports on Pro. The tradeoff is template-driven styling: the URL import pulls your text, not your colours and fonts. See the aiCarousels comparison.
• PostNitro, $15/month ($12.50 billed annually) for 30 downloads a month and 2 brands. The catch is scheduling, which needs its $25 tier. See the PostNitro comparison.
• ContentDrips, $15/month for 500 monthly credits, 3 brands and Instagram plus LinkedIn publishing; unlimited brands cost $26 on Pro. Template-driven rather than generated, strongest for repurposing LinkedIn content at volume. See the ContentDrips comparison.

The $19 standard band

$19 is where the tools that automate branding, rather than hand you templates, tend to sit.

• Supaslides, $19/month Pro. 20 carousels a month, a brand theme built automatically from your URL, all platforms, and watermark-free static plus animated video export. More on what is included at the end of this post.
• Canvora, $19/month entry. Positions itself as an AI design department for freelance social media managers and micro agencies, with 150+ languages and API plus MCP access on every plan including the free one. Carousels are one of its 100+ formats rather than the whole product.
• Two $19 stickers to read carefully. Supergrow lists a $19 Starter, but its carousel maker requires the $39 Pro tier. Predis advertises about $19 per month, but that is the annual rate; month-to-month Core costs $32. Both really belong in the suite band below.

Suites where carousels cost $29 to $65

In these tools carousels are one feature among many, and the price reflects the whole suite, not the carousel maker.

• Genviral, $29/month Creator ($24 billed annually), with 200 credits and automation caps per tier. Its carousels are TikTok-style slideshows rather than narrative, slide-by-slide written decks.
• Predis.ai, $32/month Core, about $19 on annual billing, with 1,300 credits shared across posts, videos and carousels. The company has pivoted toward AI video ads, and carousels now read like a legacy feature. See the Predis comparison.
• Supergrow, $39/month Pro ($31 billed annually) is the tier that actually includes the carousel maker. It is a LinkedIn personal-branding suite first, a carousel tool second.
• Taplio, $65/month Standard ($49 billed annually) is where AI carousel generation lives; the $39 Starter does not include it, and the whole product is LinkedIn-only.

Free tiers: recurring credits vs one-time credits

The most important shift of 2026 is not in the paid prices, it is in the free plans. Read the fine print on whether the credits renew.

• Recurring free allowances. aiCarousels gives 3 watermarked carousels a month with no sign-up, and Supaslides gives 3 carousels a month on its free plan. CarouselMaker.co lets free users export 3 times a day, with 10 credits, a 6-slide cap and a watermark.
• One-time credits. ContentDrips gives 50 credits once, not monthly, so its free plan is effectively a trial you cannot repeat. PostNitro caps the free tier at 5 watermarked downloads, and Carousel Studio starts you with 50 credits and a watermark on.
• No free plan at all. Predis discontinued its free plan in 2026 and now offers a 7-day trial with bonus credits. Taplio runs a 7-day trial with no card required. Supergrow runs a 7-day trial that pauses if you do not pay. Genviral advertises a free sign-up but does not publish its limits.

Watermarks: who removes them at what price

Every free tier in the dedicated band keeps a watermark on your exports, so what the entry tier really sells is often the removal:

• CarouselMaker.co removes it at $9/month, the cheapest watermark-free export in the category.
• Carousel Studio removes it at about $10/month on Pro.
• aiCarousels removes it at $14.95/month.
• PostNitro removes it at $15/month on Starter.
• Supaslides removes it at $19/month on Pro, which also raises the free limit of 3 carousels a month to 20.

What changed recently

A short changelog, so every claim on this page can be dated:

• August 2026: two budget entrants verified and added to our index. Carousel Studio (about $10/month, sold as a Canva app) and CarouselMaker.co ($9/month), which sets the category price floor and ships MP4 video export on its cheapest plan.
• August 2026: a Predis re-check confirmed its free plan is gone and that monthly Core is $32, or about $19 on annual billing.
• July 2026: Genviral verified at $29/month ($24 annual).
• The broader drift: the suite side keeps repositioning around AI video and automation, with pricing in flux (Predis pivoted toward video ads, and Simplified has shown pricing signals anywhere between $20 and $79), while the dedicated side gained sub-$10 entrants. The market is splitting into a budget band and a suite band rather than rising uniformly.

How to think about price per post

The sticker prices only make sense divided by output. On Supaslides Pro, $19 buys 20 carousels a month, which works out to $0.95 per finished carousel, under a dollar per post. On PostNitro Starter, $15 buys 30 downloads, or $0.50 per download. On aiCarousels, $14.95 buys unlimited carousels, so the per-post cost falls toward pennies the more you publish.

The comparison that matters is not tool versus tool, it is tool versus your own time. If producing one carousel by hand takes you an hour, and an hour of your time (or a designer’s) is worth more than $19 to you, then a month of any dedicated tool on this page costs less than a single manual post. Whether the posts themselves earn their keep is a separate question, and we covered it in are carousels worth it.

Where Supaslides sits (yes, we make it)

Full transparency: Supaslides is our product, and this index exists because we track competitor pricing for our comparison pages anyway. The $19 Pro plan includes 20 carousels a month, 3 brands, all platforms, exports without a watermark, and animated video export, which is still rare at any price in this category. The free plan, 3 carousels a month, is enough to test the paste-a-URL flow on your own brand before paying anyone, us included.

If the numbers above are the deciding factor, try Supaslides free and judge the output next to any tool on this list. We re-verify this index on a rolling basis and record every price move in the changelog above.
