Why Meta advertisers choose Madgicx over Motion
Under half the price at $50,000 of spend
Motion's Starter plan is $999 a month for up to $50,000 of ad spend. Madgicx costs $489 a month at $50,000 of monthly Meta spend, which is $510 less, and less again below that.
A clear price above $50,000 too
Motion's Pro plan (over $50,000) and Growth plan (over $125,000) show a button to chat with sales instead of a price. Madgicx costs $649 a month at $100,000 of monthly spend, $799 at $200,000 and $999 at $300,000, with 30% off on annual billing.
AI that acts, not only reports
Motion's AI writes recommendations and reports, and its AI teammate can name and launch ads, but we found no rules that pause ads or change budgets. Madgicx lists the next steps for your account and builds campaigns, ad sets and ads when you ask in a chat. Nothing the AI proposes changes your ads until you approve it.
Everything for Meta in one plan
AI image ads, analysis of which creatives and lines of copy bring results, ready-made and AI audiences, automation rules and a full account audit, with unlimited seats.
Reports on your ads, or AI that works on them?
Motion reads your ad data and turns it into reports and AI-written recommendations. Its AI tasks and its daily and weekly routines send reports, briefs and alerts for your team to act on.
Every Motion plan also includes an AI teammate called Runneth that works inside Motion and Slack. Its site says Runneth names ads the way you would and launches them to Meta Ads Manager. In a recorded July 2026 demo, the ads go out as paused drafts that a person checks first. We found no rules that pause ads or change budgets.
Madgicx starts from your ad account. It reviews what's running, suggests the next step and builds what you ask for in a chat, so your team approves work instead of doing it by hand.
One plan, everything included

If most of your budget goes to Meta, choose Madgicx. You pay $489 a month at $50,000 of spend instead of $999, and you get AI that recommends and builds on your approval, with creative, audiences and automation in one plan. Try it free for 7 days.
