Limits worth knowing in Motion
- Not the Motion planner: this is a separate product from a different company, for analyzing ad creative.
- Only Starter has a published price; Pro and Growth, for over $50K and $125K of monthly ad spend, are priced through sales.
- Plan limits follow average monthly ad spend over the last 3 months; going over brings a sales contact, not a cutoff.
- It analyzes ads and suggests briefs but does not make the videos or images itself.
