Plans for Facebook ad builder software are priced by flat tier, ad spend or seats. Match them to your spend level and team size, and see what to check before you upgrade.
Facebook ad builder plans are priced in three ways: a flat monthly fee by plan, a fee set by your monthly ad spend, or a fee that grows with seats and usage credits. Madgicx prices by ad spend from $45 a month with a 7-day free trial, AdEspresso runs from $49 to $259 and up a month, and AdStellar is $100 a month plus AI credits.
Which tier fits you depends on two numbers: your monthly ad spend and how many people work in the account. This guide matches plans to three spend levels (under $2,000, $2,000 to $20,000 and $20,000 plus), shows what each tier includes and lists what to check before you upgrade. Prices were checked in November 2026.

How ad builder plans are priced
Flat plans
One price per plan, with features and limits that change by tier. AdEspresso works this way: Starter is $49 a month for up to $1,000 of monthly ad spend, Plus is $99 a month with no spend limit, and Enterprise is from $259 a month.
Plans by ad spend
The price follows the money you run through the tool. Madgicx plans are priced by monthly ad spend and start at $45 a month. Optmyzr prices by a spend selector, from EUR 209 a month billed annually at the lowest bracket (up to EUR 25K). The upside is that a small account pays a small price.
Seats, accounts and credits
Some plans charge for how many people or ad accounts use the tool, or for AI usage. Madgicx charges $9 per extra ad account. AdEspresso Plus includes up to 15 seats. AdStellar has one plan at $100 a month with unlimited team members and ad accounts, and charges $2 per 1,000 AI credits, so the bill grows with how much you use.
Madgicx first: plans by monthly ad spend from $45 a month
Madgicx plans are priced by monthly ad spend, start at $45 a month and come with monthly, quarterly and annual billing. You can try Madgicx free for 7 days before you pick a plan, and the pricing page shows the price at your spend.
To build ads, you ask Copilot, the AI assistant inside the app, to create a campaign, ad sets and ads in your Meta account and write the copy. Everything it creates is paused until you switch it on. The Ad Launcher pushes new ads into your campaigns, and AI Marketer prepares daily recommendations that you complete or dismiss. The AI Ad Generator makes image ads from a prompt, an image or an ad in the Meta Ad Library.
A planner for building many ads from a sheet or CSV file is in beta. It's in beta; contact our support team to get beta access.
What Ads Manager gives you and what a plan adds
Ads Manager is where every Meta campaign lives, and it is the baseline to compare any tool against. Meta's Help Center on how Meta charges for ads explains the money side: your budget is the amount you allocate to show ads, Meta aims to spend it evenly over the ad's duration unless you choose accelerated delivery, and you are typically not charged beyond your set budget. You pay for the ads, and Ads Manager has no tool fee.
A paid plan adds the work around the build. That means copy written for you, many ad variations, rules that run all day, recommendations, creative research and client reports. Decide which of those jobs you actually do each week, because that is what you are paying a plan to take over.
Which plan fits your spend and team
| Monthly ad spend | What matters most | Plans to look at (as of November 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Under $2,000 | Low fixed cost, a trial, little set-up | Madgicx from $45 a month with a 7-day free trial; AdEspresso Starter at $49 (up to $1,000 of spend) or Plus at $99; AdStellar at $100 plus credits |
| $2,000 to $20,000 | Time saved, more ads per week, more than one person | Madgicx, priced by your spend; AdEspresso Plus at $99 with up to 15 seats; Optmyzr from EUR 209 a month billed annually; AdStellar at $100 plus credits |
| $20,000 plus | Approvals, reporting, support and many accounts | Madgicx; AdEspresso Enterprise from $259 with a dedicated Facebook marketing consultant; Optmyzr higher brackets and Enterprise; Smartly.io by quote |
Under $2,000 a month
At this level a tool has to be cheap and quick to learn. Start with the Madgicx trial, because it shows you what a spend-based plan gives you on your own account before you pay. AdEspresso Starter, at $49 a month, covers up to $1,000 of monthly ad spend, so you outgrow it fast. AdStellar's $100 plan includes every feature, but its AI credits are billed by use, so watch the credit total in your first month.
$2,000 to $20,000 a month
This is where a builder pays back in time. You are running more ads, testing more variations and probably sharing the account. AdEspresso Plus at $99 a month has no spend limit and adds bulk creation, campaign approval and white-label reports, and it is a flat price. Madgicx's price follows your spend, so check the pricing page at your number. Optmyzr is built first for Google Ads, with Meta tools on every plan, so it fits teams that run both.
$20,000 plus a month
At higher spend, approvals, reporting and support matter as much as price. AdEspresso Enterprise adds unlimited seats, a dedicated Facebook marketing consultant and API access. Smartly.io is sold by quote only, and its pricing page returned a 404 on 5 November 2026. Ask for a quote at your spend and compare it with a published price.

Match the plan to your team size
- One person. You need a cheap plan, a trial and little set-up. Seats do not matter yet.
- A small team of two to five. Check seat limits and approvals. AdEspresso Plus includes up to 15 seats and adds campaign approval so teams and clients can sign off before ads run.
- An agency. Count ad accounts first. Madgicx adds accounts at $9 each, Optmyzr Essentials covers up to 25 ad accounts and AdStellar allows unlimited ad accounts on its single plan.
What to check before you upgrade
- The spend limit. AdEspresso Starter stops at $1,000 of monthly ad spend. Find out what happens when you cross a limit on any plan.
- Seats and accounts. Count the people and ad accounts you will have in six months, not today.
- Usage-based charges. With AI credits, a busy month can cost more than the headline price.
- The billing term. Compare monthly and annual prices. Optmyzr's annual billing takes 30% off, and Madgicx offers monthly, quarterly and annual billing.
- Tracking. Tag every ad so you can tell which build produced which result. The Facebook UTM builder creates the links.
- Creative. A builder needs ads to build from. See our guide to ad design tools.
- Your bill. The Meta bill can differ from what Ads Manager shows, because Ads Manager counts total clicks and impressions while your receipt shows the ones you are charged for, and location fees can appear on the invoice.
Pick a plan by testing the build on your own account
The best way to choose a tier is to build a real campaign with it. Connect your Meta ad account to Madgicx, ask Copilot to build a campaign, review what it creates, and see what the price is at your spend. The trial lasts 7 days.
