ADExhibit

Overview

ADExhibit is a web-based workspace for checking and sharing ad creatives before campaigns go live. It suits freelancers and teams who need banner validation and client approvals in one place. Its strongest case is an unlimited-feature free plan; its main constraint is the 100MB storage cap.

Key features

The platform previews HTML5 banners, image ads, GIFs, and video ads, with shareable links for clients. Clients can comment and approve a preview without logging in, which makes review easier for external stakeholders. Shared campaigns, role management, and unlimited team members support collaborative work without a seat ceiling in the listed plans.

HTML5 checks cover file size, click tags, custom exits, backup images, metadata, and scripts. ADExhibit can also repair those items automatically, a practical advantage for teams repeatedly preparing creatives to meet delivery requirements. It supports Google Ads, DV360, Campaign Manager 360, Google Studio, Microsoft Ads, Bit Media, IAB standards, and Ströer. Social mockups for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, and X, along with website layouts, help teams review how creative may appear in context.

HTML5 ad creation, video ad creation, dynamic creative, and ad platform exports are supported. Custom solutions can add API access to upload creatives, trigger validation, retrieve results, and download optimized files, as well as integrations with existing tools. These options suit teams connecting creative checks to other systems, but they are separate from the standard plans and use custom pricing.

Uploaded files are stored on ADExhibit’s servers. Its privacy policy says transfers use HTTPS, passwords are bcrypt-hashed, production access is restricted to authorized personnel, and account deletion removes associated files, campaigns, and clients within 30 days. Lemon Squeezy processes payments; ADExhibit says it does not store card details.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and includes all features, 100MB of storage, no credit card requirement, and no time limit. It is a useful way to assess the workflow, but 100MB can constrain anyone keeping multiple campaigns or heavier video assets on the platform.

Freelancer costs $20 a month for 2GB of storage and unlimited clients, campaigns, and team members. It fits solo operators or small teams whose storage needs exceed the free allowance. Agency costs $60 a month and raises storage to 10GB, while retaining unlimited clients, campaigns, and team members; it is the more suitable standard tier for agencies managing a larger creative library. Business costs $180 a month and adds unlimited storage, with the same unlimited client, campaign, and team allowances. Choose it when storage, rather than seats or campaign counts, is the main constraint. All three paid plans include all features.

Custom solutions use custom pricing and can include API access and integrations. There is no free trial; the free plan has no time limit instead. The listed monthly plan prices state no annual billing term.

Platforms

ADExhibit runs on the web and offers an API through custom solutions. It is a fit for browser-based review workflows, not a listed desktop or mobile app.

Who it's for

ADExhibit is aimed at freelancers, agencies, in-house creative studios, and trading desks that ship ad creatives. It is particularly compelling for teams that need repeatable HTML5 compliance checks and approval links for clients. A small team with few assets can start free; teams with larger archives should weigh the storage tiers carefully. Organizations that need API-driven validation or custom integrations should consider a custom solution rather than assume those capabilities come with a standard plan.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Every feature is included on the free plan, so cost does not gate access to the core workflow.
• Pros: Automatic repairs address the same concrete HTML5 requirements the validator checks, reducing repetitive correction work.
• Pros: Client review and approval links work without client logins, while team membership is unlimited across plans.
• Cons: Free storage is limited to 100MB, which may be restrictive for teams retaining many or large creative files.
• Cons: API access and integrations are available through custom solutions, not the standard published tiers.

Alternatives

For a broader category comparison, browse Ad Design Software.

• Flexitive is worth considering if you need a design tool that runs on macOS, Windows, and the web; its free plan is limited to one user and five static JPG export credits per month.
• Adacado suits advertisers looking for a web-based ad offering with free impressions and static or dynamic ads, rather than ADExhibit’s emphasis on creative review and validation.
• BannerBoo is another web-based option if a free allowance of four banners, 15,000 embedded ad views, and 100MB storage matches your needs.
• Google Web Designer is a no-cost desktop alternative for Linux, macOS, and Windows, intended for business use.
• Marpipe is an option for teams exploring catalog creative and feed management, with free plans for both offerings.
• Quickads may fit teams seeking an ad research library and AI image and video ads, with a free DIY Creatives plan.
• Adzymic is an alternative with a paid Creative Support plan.
• Predis.ai is an alternative with a paid Core plan at $24 a month, billed yearly.

Verdict

ADExhibit is a strong fit for creative teams and freelancers who need to validate HTML5 banners, fix routine compliance issues, and collect client approvals without account friction. Its all-feature free plan makes it easy to start, but the 100MB cap is the reason to move up; teams needing API access or integrations should expect custom pricing. Look elsewhere if your priority is a desktop ad-design tool or a different kind of ad-production workflow.
