Where they differ
How the price grows
Ryze AI: The Paid Ads plan stays at $89 whatever you spend. Campaigns the agent runs add a share of managed spend, each workspace has a monthly credit cap, and the 30% annual discount covers the first year only. Skai: The yearly price steps up with the media you manage, from up to $4M to over $35M a year, with more features at each step.
Who each is built for
Ryze AI: Small teams and agencies that advertise on several platforms and want an agent to handle routine work. Skai: Skai is built for large advertisers and agencies managing paid search, paid social and retail media. Its pricing page sends smaller budgets to reseller partners.
How each one works
Ryze AI: An agent reads your connected ad accounts and proposes changes as approval cards. Campaigns it runs for you act on their own inside the limits you set, and bigger changes come to your inbox. Skai: One platform plans, activates, optimizes and measures media across channels, with Celeste AI recommending actions. Teams can also build their own agent workflows in Skai Studio.
