| Attribute | GoMarble | Later | Motion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plans | Free Free Seeing whether the analysis is worth paying for. | Starter $25/mo, or $18.75/mo billed yearly A creator or small business posting a few times a week. | StarterOur pick $999/mo Brands and agencies spending up to $50,000 a month on ads. |
CopilotOur pick $139/mo Brands that want analysis and reports but will make changes themselves. | GrowthOur pick $50/mo, or $37.50/mo billed yearly Businesses posting daily or managing a second brand. | Pro Custom Brands spending over $50,000 a month. | |
Operator $399/mo Teams that want agents to make approved changes in live accounts. | Scale $110/mo, or $82.50/mo billed yearly Agencies and teams running several brands. | Growth Custom Brands spending over $125,000 a month. | |
Scale $799/mo Agencies and larger brands with many accounts. | |||
Enterprise Custom Brands spending over $1.5M a month. | |||
| Which plan to pick | Start on Free and let the read-only agent audit one account for a fortnight. Copilot is the sweet spot for most small brands, because the analysis is the valuable part and you can make the edits yourself. Go to Operator once you trust its suggestions enough to approve them from your phone. | Start the 14-day trial on Growth. If you post less than once a day to each account, Starter is enough, but its 30-post cap runs out fast if you post daily. Scale is for agencies juggling several brands. | Starter is the only published price and it covers unlimited seats and accounts, so most brands under $50,000 a month in spend start and stay there. If you are not spending at least $20,000 a month on ads, $999 is a big slice of your budget and the native ad reports will do for now. |
