How Much Does an AI Media Buyer Cost?

Our dated research snapshot found three pricing shapes, not one trustworthy market price.

Flat monthly fees cover self-serve tools such as Soku, Ryze and AdTurbo. Spend-tiered plans, such as AdAmigo's, rise with the account. Managed services, such as Groas, add a human layer and quote on a different basis. Check each vendor's current page before budgeting because those terms can move.

Price is the smaller question. The bigger one is what the money buys. Ryze describes approval mode and autonomous operation. AdTurbo describes manual approval and automated implementation. Soku describes a require-approval mode. Similar labels can hide very different control models.

Scaley Suite costs $199 a month plus 4% of ad spend. Both parts apply at every spend level.

Work it for the store we actually build for: a store under €20K/mo, running its own Google Ads. For scale, take the €20K/mo accounts the leak number comes from: we typically find €2-4K leaking there, from our own agency work. It's search terms, placements and products that spend and return nothing. An agency running the same account charges €3-8K/mo, from our own agency work. Against a leak that size, the fee is the smaller number, which is the whole pitch.

The base fee stays in every bill and the percentage grows with the account, so the price should be compared with the waste the audit actually finds.

The Suite carries a 7-day trial, and billing does not start until day 8. If that is more than you want to commit yet, start with the chat instead. It's a flat $90 a month, no percent of spend, and it graduates into the Suite whenever you want it to. It lives at scaleyai.com/gpt-for-google-ads.

Three cases.

Your spend is small. The $199 base fee is part of every bill, so if there is not much waste to find, the price can cost more than it saves. Do that sum before you subscribe, not after.

Your account is small and tidy. Google's free automation with clean conversion tracking covers a lot, and that is operating judgement from running accounts, not a threshold anybody published.

You want rules you own, or a person to argue with. A workbench for the first, an agency or a senior buyer for the second. Our what is PPC software answer sorts the four kinds of tool. What an AI media buyer is in the first place is its own answer. The full ladder, chat to Suite, is on scaleyai.com/ai-media-buyer.
