Why ad teams choose Lapis over Krea

01

Ads, not just images.

Krea generates images. Lapis generates complete ad campaigns (copy, creative, sizing, and targeting) from a single text prompt. The output is ready to publish, not a starting point for more work.

02

Intelligence built into every campaign.

Performance forecasting, competitor tracking, web analytics, and NL editing are part of every Lapis campaign. Krea has no ad intelligence features because it is not an ad tool.

03

One prompt, every platform.

Lapis auto-generates ads for Meta, Google, Reddit, LinkedIn, and ChatGPT with 15+ format variations. Krea generates a single image that you would need to manually format for each platform.

  • Generate complete ad campaigns with copy, creative, and sizing from a text prompt
  • Publish ads across Meta, Google, Reddit, LinkedIn, and ChatGPT
