| Pricing | Not published — AdRoll publishes no dollar figures on its pricing page · free tier: Vendor help centre states the "Ads only plan is completely free"; no minimum spend, pay-as-you-go media | Not published (G2 records "No pricing available") · free tier: None — every route ends in a demo or consultation request |
| Pricing model | Usage-based (dynamic CPM) with paid add-ons and an annual-commitment package | Custom (usage-based or annual subscription, quote-only) |
| Best for | Ecommerce and D2C teams on Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix or BigCommerce spending roughly $5k–50k/month who need retargeting and cart-abandonment campaigns across display, native, video and CTV without hiring a media buyer — especially US-based buyers who can use the 2,000+ third-party audience pool. | Large advertisers already running Adobe Analytics, Customer Journey Analytics or Real-Time CDP who buy meaningful CTV/display volume alongside search and need one governed console with centralised reporting across many ad accounts. |
| Avoid if | You need paid search management, granular bid/placement/audience control, custom flexible reporting, third-party syndicated audiences outside the US, guaranteed refundability, or published pricing before a sales call. | You are an SMB or small team, run a non-Adobe martech stack, or are a speed-first performance team doing rapid A/B iteration and depending on the newest native auction-time bidding features. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
