- Watch out: the cost climbs from there with ad spend and number of accounts

- Tight if your spend passes $150K a month on Essentials or $500K on Premium, as larger spend is custom
- Watch out: a discount banner on the pricing page names an end date that has passed
Pick Ryze if
- Fits if you run a handful of ad accounts and want one fee that doesn't follow ad spend
- Works for agencies that want client workspaces under their own branding
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want SEO and ads in one plan, because they are sold separately
- Watch out: optional Managed Campaigns are billed as a percentage of ad spend on top of the plan
- Pricey if you stay past year one on annual billing, since the 30% discount covers the first year only
- Tight if you need a long trial: it is 7 days, 3 on SEO Starter
- Not for you if you want to try Traffic Printer or Shopify CRO yourself, as they have no self-serve trial

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.
