Scaley vs Adspirer for Store Owners

Adspirer runs your ads from the AI chat you bring, billed by tasks. If you run your own store's Google Ads and you're burning cash on clicks that never buy, pick Scaley. Scaley Media Buyer reads your live account and names what spent and sold nothing.

Scaley is built for one person: the store owner running their own Google Ads. Adspirer plugs six ad platforms into the AI chat you bring, from $49 a month, or $40 a month billed yearly. For your store, pick Scaley, because Scaley Media Buyer reads your live account, read-only, and names what spent and sold nothing.

Written and reviewed by

Adspirer plugs into the AI chat you already use, like Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. You link your ad accounts, and the chat can plan, build, watch and change your campaigns. Scaley is the AI media buyer for Google Ads I built for store owners. Scaley Consultant reads your screenshots. Scaley Media Buyer reads the live account and cannot change a setting. Scaley Suite makes changes, and only after your yes on each one.

Where Adspirer Loses a Store Owner

Adspirer runs many ad platforms from your own AI chat. A store owner on Google Ads hits these gaps, in this order.

  1. Who it is built for. Adspirer's homepage says "AI agents that run your paid media" and lists enterprises, agencies and small businesses as users. It covers six ad platforms, so Google Ads is one tab of six. Scaley is made for one person: the store owner running their own Google Ads.
  2. Where the thinking comes from. Adspirer's tools run inside the AI chat you bring, so that chat writes the answers. On general AI chat, someone on Reddit put it this way: "I avoid using AI for strategy. It usually just makes something up." A general chat knows how Google Ads should work. It doesn't know what ZenoX Media saw in its own client accounts. Scaley was trained on ZenoX Media's own Slack: 262,792 messages and 8,183 voice memos. My agency, ZenoX Media, has $200M+ in client revenue tracked through our campaigns, across 400+ store accounts.
  3. Who says yes. Adspirer promises your approval on "every high-impact change" and on "what goes live". No page I read says which changes count as high-impact. Its Google Ads page says wasted keywords can be paused or pushed to negatives "in one prompt". Its terms say "Adspirer surfaces changes to you for review and confirmation." They also say "You are responsible for reviewing every proposed and applied change". Scaley Consultant and Media Buyer can never change a thing. Scaley Suite asks on every change, with the reason next to it.
  4. Your Shopping products. Adspirer builds Search and Performance Max campaigns from a brief, and lists Shopping as a campaign type. Its homepage, its Google Ads page and its quickstart never name Merchant Center. Which products to cut is a question 120 ZenoX Media clients asked 419 times. Scaley Media Buyer names the products that spent and sold nothing. Scaley Suite sorts every product into Hero, Workhorse or Bleed and queues each cut for your yes.
  5. The bill. On price alone, Adspirer wins. Plus is $49 a month, less than any Scaley level. Pro is $99 and Max is $199, flat, however much you spend, until your tasks run out. At $5K of spend, Scaley Media Buyer is $149, more than Adspirer Pro. Two things sit outside Adspirer's plans: the AI chat plan, and what happens when your tasks run out. Its pricing page says "A performance pull is one task; a full multi-platform launch is more." It does not say what an extra task costs.
  6. Trying it. Adspirer has a free plan with 15 tasks a month and asks for no payment details. I found no trial stated for its paid plans. Every Scaley level gives you 3 days and takes a card first. Adspirer wins this row.
  7. Leaving. Adspirer's terms say cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you paid for, with no money back for the days left. They add "Fees are non-refundable." Cancel Scaley any day. The ad spend fee stops that day, and the base fee you already paid is not refunded. Media Buyer and Suite also carry the Leak Guarantee. Every month, if the wasted ad spend Scaley shows you is smaller than that month's bill, we refund the whole bill. Wasted spend means money spent in that 30-day billing cycle on search terms and products that, over 14 days, passed Scaley's spend line and made back 1.7 times their cost or less. Your conversion tracking has to be working, your ads have to be running, and your Google Ads account has to stay connected to Scaley. It covers every paid bill. Ask within 14 days of the bill.

Adspirer is a low-cost way to give your own AI chat reach into your ad accounts. Its terms put the review of every change on you. "Why has performance dropped over the last few days?" 96 ZenoX Media clients asked that 294 times. Scaley Media Buyer reads what moved in your own account, read-only. Move up to Scaley Suite when you want product labels and fixes queued for your yes.

See the Waste in Your First 3 Days

You get 3 days free on every level, card required, and Media Buyer reads the live account.

  1. Day 1

    Media Buyer Connects. Nothing Changes

    On Media Buyer you sign in with Google and never share a password. The read cannot change a setting. Consultant uploads a file instead.

  2. Then

    You Read What It Found

    Media Buyer names the waste, with the spend next to it. On Suite, each fix waits until you say yes to that line.

  3. Day 3

    You Decide. What You Approved Stays

    On day 3 you decide if the answers earned the bill. Cancel before the trial ends and you pay nothing. Every change you said yes to stays in your account.

We take your card upfront. Your first base fee is charged when your trial ends.

One Bill with the AI Included

Scaley Media Buyer is $99 a month plus 1% of ad spend, with the AI included. No chat plan to add. It reads the live account, read-only. At $5K of spend that is $149. Scaley Suite is $199 a month plus 4% of ad spend, and it is the only level that makes changes, each after your yes. Suite also sorts every product into Hero, Workhorse or Bleed. Scaley Consultant is $99 a month flat and connects to nothing. Media Buyer and Suite carry the Leak Guarantee. Every month, if the wasted ad spend Scaley shows you is smaller than that month's bill, we refund the whole bill. Wasted spend means money spent in that 30-day billing cycle on search terms and products that, over 14 days, passed Scaley's spend line and made back 1.7 times their cost or less. Your conversion tracking has to be working, your ads have to be running, and your Google Ads account has to stay connected to Scaley. It covers every paid bill. Ask within 14 days of the bill.
