Key advantages that make PerfoAds the better choice for most teams.
Small businesses who want an all-in-one solution and may eventually want managed services
WordStream is a well-established platform with multi-channel support, but its high pricing and focus on upselling managed services may not fit everyone. PerfoAds offers deeper AI intelligence at a fraction of the cost, making it ideal for teams who want powerful optimization without the premium price tag or sales pressure.
WordStream's pricing reflects their business model: they're owned by LocaliQ (formerly Gannett), a media company that uses WordStream as a funnel to their managed services. Their software pricing is high because they expect many users to eventually become managed service clients. PerfoAds is a pure software company - we don't offer managed services, so we don't need to price software as a lead-gen tool. We're also built AI-native from day one, which is more efficient than retrofitting AI onto legacy platforms.
