Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if your ads are modest: $799 a month is the minimum, or a percentage of ad spend if it's more
- Skip it if you want a free try, because there is a demo and no free plan or trial
- Watch out: DSP, share-of-voice keywords, shareable dashboards and AMC have add-on limits and costs not on the pricing page
- Watch out: accounts above $500K a month in ad spend move to Enterprise with custom pricing, and API access sits there

- Skip it if you want a phone or desktop app, as it's web only

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
