| Pricing | Not published · free tier: None — no free trial or freemium tier; only "Book A Demo" and "Login" paths exist | Not published — no pricing page in vendor navigation; TrustRadius states "Smartly.io does not currently have any pricing plans listed at this time" · free tier: None — TrustRadius records no free version or trial; SaaSworthy records no free plan |
| Pricing model | Custom | Custom / usage-based — a fee percentage based on the customer's advertising spend in connected ad accounts, converted daily to EUR (per G2 pricing page); quote-based with no public price list |
| Best for | Agencies, enterprise in-house media teams and multi-location or franchise organisations running paid media across a large number of accounts, where the bottleneck is execution volume, budget pacing and structural consistency — and who accept quote-only procurement. | Mid-market and enterprise advertisers and agencies with high, sustained paid-social and cross-channel spend, heavy creative-variant demands across markets, and a team that will use the automation daily so the percentage-of-spend fee displaces real headcount hours. |
| Avoid if | You are a small business, solo practitioner or single-advertiser buyer, need a published price or a trial before committing, or have procurement rules requiring transparent list pricing. | You are a small or low-spend advertiser, want to self-serve or compare prices publicly without a sales cycle, need the lowest possible learning curve, or your primary need is search advertising — the verified evidence base is overwhelmingly paid social, creative and CTV. |

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.
