Automation Philosophy
AdLabs: Semi-Automatic
- Bid Optimizer analyzes data and surfaces recommendations
- You review and approve changes before they go live
- 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: the algorithm does the analysis, you make the final call. Adbrew gives you a more powerful rules engine that can run autonomously once configured. Both platforms serve agencies and brands, but AdLabs prioritizes approval-based transparency while Adbrew prioritizes automation depth and speed at scale.
Pricing
AdLabs Core starts at 1% of ad spend + $40/month. The Pro plan is 2% + $40/month. Flat-rate pricing is available for accounts spending $100K+/month.
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. DSP, AMC, Share of Voice, and shareable dashboards are paid add-ons on the Standard plan but included with Enterprise.
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.
Where Adbrew Has the Edge
- Bulk campaign launcher: Create hundreds of campaigns from customizable templates with target movement funnels and seed keywords in minutes
- Share of Voice: Hourly SOV and rank tracking across sponsored and organic placements, with automation rules tied to rank thresholds
- Walmart support: Manage Amazon and Walmart ads from one platform
If you need deep automation, SOV-based bidding, bulk campaign creation at scale, and Walmart support, Adbrew offers a feature set that few Amazon PPC tools can match.
