Pick AdEspresso if

- Works for small shops spending up to $1K a month, at $32 a month billed annually
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you spend mostly on Google or TikTok, where it reports but doesn't optimize
- Pricey if you want server-side tracking, which is $49 a month more per account

- Watch out: the price climbs with spend, to $230 a month billed annually up to $30K, and monthly billing costs more
- Not for you if you want a phone app or browser extension, as it runs in a web browser 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.
