Automation philosophy

AdLabs · Semi-Automatic

  • Bid Optimizer analyzes data and surfaces recommendations
  • You set the rules and choose which changes wait for your approval
  • Rule-based automations and alerts also available

Adbrew · AI + Custom Rules

  • Combines AI-powered bidding with highly customizable rule sets
  • Rules can be modeled to any custom strategy and run autonomously
  • SOV-based automation adjusts bids based on hourly rank data

AdLabs keeps you in the driver's seat: you set the rules, AdLabs applies them, and you can review every change. Adbrew gives you a more powerful rules engine that can run autonomously once configured. Both platforms serve agencies and brands, but AdLabs prioritizes transparency and control while Adbrew prioritizes automation depth and speed at scale.

Pricing

AdLabs

AdLabs Core starts at 1% of ad spend + $120/month. The Pro plan is 2% + $120/month. Flat-rate pricing is available for accounts spending $100K+/month.

Adbrew

Adbrew Standard starts at $799/month or a percentage of ad spend, whichever is higher. Enterprise is custom pricing for accounts spending over $500K/month. Standard includes AMC reports and audiences, Share of Voice, and shareable dashboards with preset limits; paid add-ons raise those limits, and DSP access is an additional cost.

For the core Sponsored Ads features, AdLabs is the lower-cost option. Adbrew's pricing reflects a broader feature set, but note that several headline features (DSP, AMC, SOV) require additional spend on the Standard plan.
