The problem
A "simple" ad usually isn't. Find a reference in one tool. Generate a visual in another. Write copy in a third. Resize for every platform by hand. Track brand consistency across freelancers or a rotating cast of AI tools that don't talk to each other. Each tool in the stack is fine on its own โ the stitching between them is where the hours actually go, and where the monthly subscription total quietly adds up to more than any single tool's price tag suggested.
