Agency Comparison FAQs

Why do agencies charge ad spend percentages?

Traditional agencies have high headcount costs for account managers and media buyers. We replace manual labor with algorithmic Advantage+ automation, allowing us to charge a flat SaaS fee.

Will I get the same or better results than an agency?

Yes. Meta's modern 2026 ad algorithms favor creative volume and sound affinity over manual targeting tweaks. Our engine tests dozens of hook variations 24/7, outperforming manual agency workflows.

How does billing work with Bring Your Own Account (BYOA)?

You connect your Meta Business Manager via OAuth. Meta bills your credit card directly for ad spend. You only pay our flat software subscription.
