- Pricey if you want server-side tracking, which is $49 a month more per account
- Tight if your spend tops $30K a month, as the price is then only shown inside the app
- 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 we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$100 a month for 50,000 credits, in the dearer half of ad tools. An image ad costs about 100 credits and a video ad about 2,800, so heavy video use needs more credits at $2 per 1,000. | CGraded against the reporting tools it's listed with. One plan has every feature, priced by ad spend: at $5K a month it's $83 billed annually, up to $10K it's $90 ($129 monthly), and up to $1K it's $32. That's about level with Birch and under Superads, Atria and Motion at that spend. |
| Free plan and trial | DA 7-day trial with $100 in free credits and $0 due today, which implies a card at checkout. There is no free plan. | CNo free plan, but a 7-day trial with access to everything. A week is enough to see what the AI suggests for your account, but not much more. |
| Features | CAn ad agent, AI creative, bulk launching, creative analytics and automation rules. Manual campaign builds are free, but only Meta is listed. | BA daily AI audit with one-click fixes, a Copilot that answers questions about your account, rules, creative fatigue alerts, an image ad generator and reports mixing six data sources. For Meta that's the whole job. Other ad platforms show up in reports only. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You connect your Meta account and brief the agent. | CNo rating on record. Fixes are approved with one click, but there's an account to connect, a lot of tools to learn, and rules to set up before automation does anything. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb app with Meta, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and Slack connections. No phone or desktop apps are listed. | BWeb only, with no browser extension or apps. Reports pull in Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, Shopify, Klaviyo and Google Analytics 4, and it works with Claude and ChatGPT, plus a Google Ads MCP server. |

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.
