How we grade them
| 1.8GPAMotionWeak | 2.2GPASuperadsFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | FGraded against the reporting tools it's listed with. The only published price is Starter at $999 a month for up to $50K of ad spend, billing term not stated, and someone spending a tenth of that pays the same. That's several times what its rivals charge at that spend, and nothing here explains the gap. | CGraded against the reporting tools it's listed with. Professional is $125 a month billed yearly ($150 monthly) for unlimited users and up to $100K of ad spend, so a small spender pays the same as one at $100K. That sits in the middle of its rivals. Each extra $100K adds $100 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but a 14-day trial that needs no card. That's long enough to connect your accounts and see a few reports before paying. | CNo free plan, but a 14-day trial with no card. Monthly billing has no long contract, so stopping after a month is easy too. |
| Features | CVisual reports, AI tags by hook and angle, AI tasks that suggest the next brief, a feed of rivals' new ads and shareable snapshots. It's strong analysis, but it doesn't make the ads, and attribution from GA4 and Northbeam only comes on Pro, priced through sales. | CCross-platform reports, 0 to 100 scores on hook, hold and conversion, AI tagging, plain-language questions about your data and a feed of rivals' ads. Analysis only: it doesn't make ads, history stops at 12 months, and GA4 or Northbeam attribution isn't available yet. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. You connect ad accounts before anything shows, and the reports and tags take some learning, though shared snapshots need no login for clients. | CNo rating on record. It tags ads without naming conventions, which saves a chore, but you still connect accounts and build the reports and boards you want. |

Who each one suits

Worth knowing
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.
Superads
- Price rises with combined monthly ad spend: $100 a month more for each $100K over the first $100K; above $1M a month it is an Enterprise deal.
- It analyzes existing ads only; it does not write copy or generate images or video.
- History goes back 12 months, and attribution from GA4, Triple Whale or Northbeam is planned but not available yet.
- Monthly billing has no long contract and can be cancelled any time.
