Scaley vs Groas AI Review: Who Holds the Keys

A groas sprint runs your Google Ads for you for 90 days and makes changes on its own. Scaley finds the waste and waits for your yes. I sell one of them.

groas is a done-for-you service for Google Ads, SEO and AI search. Its models and a named strategist run a 90-day sprint and make changes on their own. Pick groas if you want a team to do it all. Pick Scaley Suite if you want to approve each change first. I built Scaley and run ZenoX Media.

Written and reviewed by

To start with groas, you apply, book a fit call and hear the price. Then its models and a named strategist run the account for 90 days. They work bids, budgets and keywords every day, on their own. The one gate they name is spend: you approve every increase. Scaley works the other way round. It is the chat I built for ecom stores on Google Ads and Merchant Center. Scaley Consultant reads your screenshots and connects to nothing. Media Buyer reads the live account and answers. Suite finds the waste, writes the fix and queues it. You tap yes, or nothing happens. So pick by one thing: do you hand over the keys, or keep them? One more thing to know. Scaley is new. It runs on the playbook of ZenoX Media, my Google Ads agency: $200M+ in client revenue tracked through our campaigns, across 300+ accounts. That is the agency's record, not a Scaley result.

Groas vs Scaley, Row by Row

The same rows, with the detail, so you can weigh it yourself. The groas side is quoted off groas.com, groas.com/for-businesses, groas.com/for-agencies and groas.com/mcp, all read 15 October 2026. (groas.ai sends you to groas.com.)

  1. What you buy. groas is done for you. Its main offer is a service: its own models and a named strategist do the work, across paid ads, SEO and AI search. It also offers an MCP chat. Scaley is software you run. It covers Google Ads and Merchant Center and nothing else.
  2. Who makes the changes. groas does. Its pages list "Daily Execution: Bids, budgets, keywords, content, citations". The one gate it names is spend: "You approve every increase." Its MCP chat works differently, "Read-only by default" with "You confirm each change". Scaley Suite never changes anything on its own. It finds the waste, writes the fix and queues it, and each change waits for your yes. Media Buyer and Consultant never change anything at all.
  3. The bill. groas sells businesses a 90-day sprint, "paid once, up front", and says "The fee is flat whatever you spend on ads". The dollar figure is not on its site. You hear it on a fit call. Agencies pay from $999 a month for paid ads, for unlimited clients. Scaley prints every price. Suite is $199 a month plus 4% of ad spend, so $10K of spend comes to $599. Media Buyer is $99 a month plus 1%. Consultant is $99 a month flat. Which one costs you less, I cannot tell you, because groas's number is not public.
  4. The promise. groas's headline is "40% More Sales Or Visibility In 90 Days Or We Work For Free". The paid ads number is scored on days 77 to 90 against the 28 days before work starts. If it misses, groas keeps working for free. That is a bold offer, and it is a real reason to look at groas. Scaley makes a smaller promise you can check in your first month, 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.
  5. Getting in. groas makes you apply first. "See If You Qualify" leads to a short form, then a fit call. Businesses get no free trial, and groas says its promise is the equivalent. Agencies get seven days on one real client account before they pay. Scaley has no application and no fit call. Pick a level and start a 3-day trial. Card required.
  6. Channels. groas runs Google Ads and ChatGPT Ads, plus SEO across 8 engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, Grok, Google's AI Overviews and Google search. Scaley covers Google Ads and Merchant Center only. If you want ads and AI search from one team, groas covers far more.
  7. Ecom. groas has no ecommerce or Shopify page, and most of its results page is local services and lead gen. For stores, it counts "Sales for shops". Scaley is built for stores. Every day the Labelizer checks each product: how much you make on it and how fast it sells. Then it gets new labels ready for Merchant Center. Suite connects your Shopify store too.
  8. Their numbers. groas says it is "Driving $1bn+ In Attributable Revenue Per Year For 500+ Businesses & Agencies", and a counter on its site shows the ad spend it runs each month. Those are its figures. I cannot check them, and I have not run an account on groas.

Hand groas the keys if you want a team to run it all against a published target. Keep the keys with Scaley if you want every change in front of you before it goes live.
