If you're spending 6 figures or even millions of dollars per month on ads, then you are no doubt faced with pressing questions like,
"Where do I allocate my budget?"
"How much do I spend?"
"What creative is the best on which platform/channel?"
"Am I under / overspending on specific channels or audiences?"
"Can I even trust this platform's reporting?"
"What should I try next?"
Platforms like Blueprint, Triple Whale, and Smartly.IO all aim to address these questions for marketers. Each platform provides their own unique approaches with varying cost structures and attribution models.
If you operate an ecommerce store outside of Shopify (Bigcommerce / Woocommerce), want cross-platform attribution down to the creative level (including influencers), and an AI decision making engine to tell you what to do next, all without incurring a percentage-based media cost, then Blueprint is for you.
If you are on Shopify and looking for a plug and play attribution integration with added features for ecommerce stores like post purchase surveying and inventory forecasting, and are content with paying more as your store scales, Triple Whale may be for you.
If you are interested in a platform that allows for creative generation for social ads at scale and focuses on automated optimizations via api into your ad channels, then Smartly.io may be for you.
With hundreds of other options available as well, It can be hard to know if you are making the right choice on an advertising optimization and reporting platform. It really just depends on your specific situation.
