ScaleyGroas Alternatives: 6 Options Compared
Six options next to groas, with each price, who it fits, and where groas still wins. Scaley Media Buyer reads the live account, read-only.
If you run your store's Google Ads, Scaley beats groas: the price is on the page, a 3-day trial starts today, and no change goes live without you. Pick groas if you want a team to run several channels for a fee set on a call. I run Scaley and ZenoX Media. Scaley Consultant is $99 a month flat.

groas runs your ads for you. You book a call, hear a fixed monthly fee, and a senior account manager takes over. That fits a business that wants to hand the work off. It fits a store owner who runs their own Google Ads much less. You cannot see a price first, there is no software for you to use, and the pages I read never name Shopify. Here is what to look at instead, Scaley first, with the catch on each one.
Where Groas Still Wins
- Done for you. A senior account manager runs it, in a private Slack channel with replies within 24 hours
- The fee stays fixed as you spend more. In its own words: "whether you spend $50,000 or $5,000,000 a month"
- Reach. Google, Bing, ChatGPT and Meta Ads, plus SEO and AI search, from one team
- Shopping too. Its Google Ads page lists Performance Max, Shopping, and Merchant Center feed work
The Short List
Scaley AI
Best for: Ecom store owners who run their own Google Ads and want to keep the keys.
- Price
- Scaley Consultant: $99/mo flat, for all your stores. Scaley Media Buyer: $99/mo for all your stores + 1% of total ad spend. Scaley Suite: $199/mo for all your stores + 4% of total ad spend
- Free trial
- 3-day free trial. Card required. Cancel anytime. Same on every level
- Where it wins
- Scaley Media Buyer reads the live account, read-only. Every day the Labelizer checks each product: what you make on it, and how fast it sells. Suite brings each change with the reason, and waits for your yes
- The catch
- Google Ads only, no free plan, and a 3-day trial, shorter than most tools here. Not built for businesses that sell calls or bookings instead of products. Scaley Media Buyer and Scaley Suite add a percent of ad spend, so the bill grows as you spend more. It is not done for you: you make the calls
PPC.io
Best for: Brands that want a small team to run Google and Meta ads for one flat fee.
- Price
- Hire us: $3,000 a month, flat, never a cut of ad spend. Its Google Ads Agents are early access by waitlist, with an expected price of $99 a month for one account, then from $50 for each extra account. That price is not final
- Free trial
- None listed for the service. PPC.io Agents: a 7-day trial on your own accounts is planned, once early access opens
- Where it wins
- The closest swap for groas: done for you, with the price printed on its site. No long-term contract
- The catch
- $3,000 a month is a lot for a small store. Its homepage still marks Agents as Coming soon, while its Agents page says Agent 1 is ready
Ryze AI
Best for: Marketers and agencies who want one flat-fee tool across many ad networks, plus SEO.
- Price
- Paid Ads is $89/mo flat. Agency is $279/mo. SEO plans from $129/mo. Shopify CRO, done for you, is $1,499/mo. An optional Managed Campaigns add-on takes 5% to 0.8% of the spend it manages
- Free trial
- 7 days on Paid Ads and Agency. It needs a valid payment method and charges a one-time $1 setup fee
- Where it wins
- A flat price that stays the same at any ad spend, many ad networks, SEO plans, and white label for agencies at $279/mo
- The catch
- Its homepage and pricing page never name Google Shopping, Merchant Center or Performance Max. Payments are final, and a cancel takes effect at the end of the billing period
Opteo
Best for: Google Ads managers and agencies who work a fix list across several accounts.
- Price
- From $129/mo for up to $25,000 of spend and 10 accounts. Professional is $249/mo for up to $100,000 and 25 accounts. Agency is $499/mo for up to $250,000 and 75 accounts. Enterprise is custom. Yearly billing gives two months off
- Free trial
- 14 days free. It asks for a payment method at signup
- Where it wins
- Published prices with spend caps, and fixes you push live in a few seconds
- The catch
- Google Ads only. Data refreshes every 24 hours on Basic. Splitting Shopping product groups is still marked Coming Soon
Optmyzr
Best for: PPC agencies, freelancers, in-house and enterprise teams who build their own rules.
- Price
- List price at $25K of spend, its lowest step: Essentials $299/mo, or $209/mo billed yearly. Premium $389/mo, or $272/mo yearly. It climbs with spend
- Free trial
- 14 days free
- Where it wins
- A rule toolkit you build yourself, across six ad platforms
- The catch
- You build the rules yourself. The price climbs with your ad spend, and above $500K it is a custom plan
Albert
Best for: Big B2C brands with large budgets across many channels.
- Price
- Not public. "Contact us for a customized pricing plan." The lowest budget option on its form is $100k-$500k a year
- Free trial
- None described. Its FAQ describes a 3-month Proof of Concept
- Where it wins
- Hands-off and multi-channel, built for scale
- The catch
- Built for big budgets. Its FAQ does not mention Shopping or Merchant Center
