Start a 7-day free trial yourself and connect your ad account the same day. With Smartly.io you start with a demo and a contract, and G2 lists an average implementation time of two months.
AI that recommends and builds, on your approval
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.
Templates and feeds, or AI that starts from your account?
Smartly.io scales campaigns from templates and product feeds: you design a blueprint once and it generates many campaigns. That suits very large catalogues and creative teams, and it takes setup work before anything runs.
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 works from recommendations instead of building the system first.
One plan, everything included
Our verdict: choose Madgicx
If most of your budget goes to Meta, choose Madgicx. You get AI that recommends and builds on your approval, creative, audiences and automation in one plan, and a price you can check before anyone calls you. Try it free for 7 days.
