Beyond PPC
Amazon Marketing Cloud Can it query Amazon Marketing Cloud?A no-code Amazon Marketing Cloud tool with a query library, AI-powered dashboards and reports, and custom audiences from AMC data for DSP campaigns and Sponsored Ads bid boosting. Custom AMC queries are an Enterprise feature, and whether an existing AMC instance is required is not stated.1You connect an AMC instance in Perpetua, can write SQL queries against it, build template-based AMC audiences that apply as bid multipliers on Sponsored Products and Brands and to DSP, and view a consumer lifetime-value report without SQL. Custom AMC reporting is listed on the Premium plan.21Quartile says it uses Amazon Marketing Cloud data to build personas and tailored audiences and to inform full-funnel strategy. No page describes customers running their own AMC queries or managing AMC audiences themselves.38Pricing lists integrated Amazon Marketing Cloud on Advanced and Enterprise; the help center says AMC is for managed and agency editions, offers prebuilt AMC dashboards and template-built AMC and DSP audiences for accounts with a DSP connection. Custom SQL AMC queries are not documented.48Yes. Amazon Marketing Cloud queries and audiences run through the Amazon Ads MCP, and the Turn AMC Questions Into Answers and Audiences Skill returns validated SQL, privacy-safe results, and a segment ready to activate in DSP.18
Seller operations Can it run orders, inventory, pricing, and catalog work?Profitability reads orders, settlements and every fee Amazon and Walmart report, including referral, fulfilment, storage, returns and ad spend, so rules can read margin and days of stock. No writes to Seller Central for pricing, inventory or listings are published.6The SP-API connection supplies product data such as new ASINs and inventory levels, plus sales and traffic reporting, and rules can pause ads on inventory levels. No page describes editing listings, prices, orders or catalog.28Beyond ads, Quartile manages Amazon promotions (coupons, Lightning Deals, Prime Exclusive Deals, Subscribe and Save) and its API reads listing status, pricing, inventory level, quality scores and FBA inventory. Order handling, repricing and catalog edits are not published.40Beyond ads it reads Seller Central product and sales data, provides inventory demand forecasts and stockout alerts as reporting, generates listing content that is held for review before submission, and offers FBA refunds recovery through a partner at a 25 percent commission. Order management and repricing are not published.49Yes. 304 Selling Partner operations for orders, inventory, pricing, catalog, and reports, through the Selling Partner MCP.19
Vendor Central Can it run Vendor Central work?No product page, the pricing page or the terms mention Vendor Central, purchase orders or retail analytics.3Vendors see Amazon Retail Analytics sales data and Rapid Retail Analytics inventory alongside advertising data. No purchase-order or other Vendor Central operations are published.22No page or doc mentions Vendor Central, purchase orders or retail analytics.41Vendor onboarding grants a Teikametrics user Vendor Central report permissions so total sales and inventory flow in; ordered revenue is limited to brand-registered vendors, inventory refreshes weekly and sales lag up to 72 hours. No purchase-order or retail-analytics workflow is published.50Yes. 40 Vendor Central operations: purchase orders, direct fulfillment, shipments and invoices, and Retail Analytics, through the Amazon Vendor Central MCP.16
Creative Can it generate listing and ad creative, images and video?Digital Shelf Analytics tracks share of voice and keyword rank hourly; no listing image, video or A+ content generation appears on any product page.7Perpetua's DSP Creatives Builder assembles ads from assets you bring: you pick up to 20 products, a product image pulled from Amazon or a custom one, plus your logo and headline, and static images and video are uploaded to spec. The builder validates and submits what you supply. No image, video or listing copy generation is published on it.36Quartile's Amazon Sponsored Ads page lists flexible campaign structure, automated hourly bidding, Amazon Marketing Cloud signals, rules-based optimization and reports, and claims no creation of images, video or listing content. Its Amazon DSP launch tool is described as component-based creative launches with bulk uploads, which manages creative you already have. Checked the Sponsored Ads page, the homepage and the DSP launch tool page; nothing published covers generating creative.38Teikametrics generates listing content and images through GenAI Smart Pages: AI-crafted titles, bullet points and descriptions for Amazon and Walmart listings, plus AI-generated product images tailored to each platform's guidelines. The page publishing the image capability is an early access signup. It describes no video generation.65Yes. Agent Iris generates listing images and product video through Google Gemini, OpenAI image models, and Google Veo 3, audits an image against listing rules, publishes to the listing, and confirms Amazon took it. Video comes back as a signed URL rather than an upload to Seller Central.15
Playbooks Does it come with playbooks, and can I write my own?Custom rules in plain conditions, a bulk campaign launcher, and Adbrew Intelligence, introduced as autonomous agents to help with ad operations. No readable playbook library is published, and user-authored logic stops at rules.10Readable playbooks exist, such as AMC audiences for sponsored ads and seasonal recommendations and strategies, plus free Ad School courses. User automation is limited to configurable rules, strategies and scheduled changes; no page offers user-written automation logic.23Customers can write their own bid and budget rules, apply them to campaigns and schedule them. No published library of playbooks or strategies the customer can read exists, and no automation logic beyond rules is described.38Campaign creator offers basic, auto, manual and custom structures and named goals such as grow, profit, launch and liquidate, and the help center publishes readable strategy guides. User-authored logic is limited to custom filters with performance thresholds and dayparting schedules; no user-written playbooks or scripts.5112 verified Skills for Amazon Ads and seller work, each publishing what it is not for, and you can write your own in the same format.18
Operating knowledge Does it bring Amazon know-how to the job?Marketing states the AI analyzes more than 100 factors and lists retail-aware ad optimization: inventory, Buy Box placement, pricing and ranking are inputs. Amazon policy or operating rules are not described as inputs.8Perpetua publishes Amazon strategy content, but its pages describe recommendations as generated from your strategies and goal performance and do not state that Amazon operating rules or know-how are encoded in them.24Amazon know-how is delivered by a dedicated human strategist and channel experts alongside the AI. No page states that Amazon operating rules or best practices are encoded into the recommendations themselves.42Marketing calls it retail-trained AI; the bidder is said to fold in seasonality, day of week and Prime Day, the recommendation hub pre-fills goals and cost limits from product performance and category trends, and Compass benchmarks aggregate Teikametrics users. Amazon policy or operating rules are not described as inputs.52Agent Atlas supplies curated Amazon operating playbooks and rules that your agent retrieves before it acts.12
Your data Where does your account data end up?Data lives in Adbrew's hosted software as a service, and the terms allow Adbrew to aggregate statistical information on the performance of the service; no retention period after termination is stated. Shareable dashboards are a Standard feature with preset limits, and API access is listed on the Enterprise plan.9Advertising data lives in Perpetua's platform; custom reporting and dashboards export CSV, and no warehouse destination or public API is published. The terms say customers own their materials but Perpetua may freely use data to improve its services; the privacy policy gives no retention period or hosting location.25Advertising data lands on Quartile's US servers and the terms let Quartile retain data derived from the services. Customers can pull campaign, keyword and report data through the REST API; no warehouse destination is offered. Click-tracking data is kept up to about 13 months.43Advertising data lives in Teikametrics' platform; users can export tables and Compass data as CSV or Excel, but no warehouse destination or customer API is published. The terms say the company has no obligation to retain customer data after termination and may use it for aggregated metrics.53Agent Flow lands your Ads and Selling Partner data in a data lake in your own cloud; your warehouse and BI tools read it downstream.14
Where you use it Which apps can I use it from?The Adbrew web app, and Adbrew MCP for Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Microsoft Copilot and Cursor, running against your live account through Adbrew Intelligence. No mobile app or Slack integration is published.4Perpetua is used through its browser app. Help-center searches for mobile app and API return no mobile app, public API, or ChatGPT, Claude or MCP integration; the Premium plan lists custom data integrations without detail.20Customers use the Quartile portal and a documented REST API with OAuth2, a developer portal, batch endpoints and a Postman guide; API subscriptions must be activated by Quartile. No mobile app, ChatGPT or Claude integration, or MCP server is published.37A web app with an in-app assistant chat, a Teikametrics MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT in early access with twelve read-only tools and no write actions, and daily Slack budget-pacing notifications. No mobile app and no customer-facing API are published.45Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot, n8n, or any MCP client.17
How it runs, and how you buy it
Where it runs Where does it run?The terms define the platform as hosted software as a service managed by Adbrew. No option to deploy in the customer's own cloud account is published.9Perpetua is a hosted web application with user credentials issued by Perpetua. No option to deploy in the customer's own cloud account is published.26Quartile runs its own hosted platform; the privacy policy says it operates in the United States and stores data on its own servers. No option to deploy in the customer's cloud account is published.43Teikametrics is a hosted web application; the terms define the services as Teikametrics-operated websites, platform and software accessed over the internet. No option to deploy in the customer's own cloud account is published.53Your own AWS, GCP, Azure, or Cloudflare account. You own the deployment, the data, and the perimeter.17
Approval What happens before anything changes on Amazon?MCP changes are drafts that apply once you approve them. For rule and AI automation, no approval queue or review mode is published; the automation is described as optimizing bids, budgets, targets and placements automatically.4Rules and keyword harvesting can be set to manual approval in a pending-approval tab or to apply automatically, and recommendations require approve or dismiss. The engine's own bid changes have no approval step.23No review queue, approval step or manual mode is described. The AI updates bids, budgets and placements in real time and customer rules run automatically on schedule.38There is no approval queue for bids: once AI bidding is enabled they post automatically, and manual bid edits are only available when automation is off. Keyword and negative filters default to review mode with accept, snooze and dismiss, and can be switched to automatic.51Read tools return data only. Write tools are guarded and may require your explicit approval before a change reaches Amazon.16
Pricing model How is it priced?Standard is $799 a month or a percentage of ad spend, whichever is greater, for accounts up to $500,000 of monthly ad spend, and the percentage is not stated. Enterprise is custom above that. DSP, Amazon Marketing Cloud, share-of-voice keywords and shareable dashboards carry preset limits with paid add-ons.5Essentials is $695 a month for up to $10,000 of monthly ad spend; Growth is $695 a month plus an undisclosed percentage of ad spend above $10,000; Premium is custom above $500,000. Annual commitment is not published; the terms say contracts auto-renew per the order form.20No prices are published and there is no pricing page. The terms say fees are set in an order form under standard pricing tiers based on aggregate monthly ad spend, number of channels and service level, due in advance and non-refundable, on a one-year auto-renewing term.44Essentials is $179 a month, or $149 a month billed annually, for up to $10,000 of monthly ad spend; above that, plans add 3 percent of monthly ad spend over $10,000. The help center also lists Essential Tier 2 at $599, Advanced at $1,439, Enterprise as custom, and a free basic plan without AI.54Kuudo Pro: $0 a month plus $0.95 per 1,000 Amazon API calls. Kuudo Scale: $249 a month plus $0.55 per 1,000 Amazon API calls. No percentage of ad spend, and the calculator models a month for a brand owner, an agency or aggregator, and an automation-heavy seller.13
Seats and organizations How many people and accounts?An unlimited number of users can be added to an Adbrew account. The number of Amazon accounts, brands or marketplaces per plan is not published.5There is no limit on team members, and unlimited accounts can be added as long as combined monthly ad spend stays within the plan's spend tier. Manager accounts add administrator and manager roles for agencies.27No user, seat or account limits are published for any tier; the solutions pages, terms and API docs refer to a single Quartile account without counts.42Neither the pricing page nor the billing article states user, seat or account limits; plans are tiered by ad spend. Roles are account owner, admin and viewer, and an agency edition manages multiple nested client accounts.55Kuudo Pro: up to 25 seats across 5 organizations. Kuudo Scale: up to 50 seats across 10 organizations. Enterprise: unlimited.17
Free tier Can I try it free?No free trial or free tier appears on the pricing, seller, demo or consultation pages; the route is a demo or consultation, with white-glove onboarding and 24/7 support included in Standard.5The pricing and features pages list no free trial or free tier; the call to action is a demo. The only trial in the help center is a 60-day trial of a paid AMC purchase dataset.20No free trial or free tier is published. The terms define a 60-day evaluation period in which the client may terminate for convenience through a button in the portal, effective 30 days after clicking; fees are otherwise due in advance and non-refundable.44The trial is described as risk-free for 30 days for sellers with up to $10,000 of monthly ad spend, converting to $149 or $179 a month. Onboarding states data sync starts after a credit card is entered and a plan selected; cancelling before the trial ends drops the account to the free basic plan.57Kuudo Community is free: one instance of each Amazon MCP server in your own cloud, with no usage charges.17

Their fit

Choose Perpetua if

Real situations where Perpetua is the better buy. If one of them is yours, buy it.

  • You run several brands and want one published price, with no seat math.

    Perpetua lists its plans: Essentials at $695 a month for up to $10,000 of monthly ad spend, Growth at $695 plus an undisclosed percentage of spend above that, Premium custom above $500,000. There is no limit on team members, and unlimited accounts can be added while combined monthly ad spend stays inside the plan's tier, with administrator and manager roles for agencies. Adbrew publishes $799 a month or a percentage of ad spend, whichever is greater, without stating the percentage, and no trial.

  • You want an engine you set and leave, running to a target on its own.

    You set a target advertising cost of sales and a daily budget per goal, and the ad engine recalculates bids daily, or hourly in the Stream-based conversion optimization beta, then shifts budget between that goal's campaigns. Template-based AMC audiences apply as bid multipliers on Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands and carry through to DSP. Fixed bids, multipliers, minimum and maximum bids, placement multipliers and rules are yours to override with, and an optional Amazon status column shows what Amazon reported back about 15 minutes after a change. Kuudo runs the advertising job as agent tasks on a playbook, on request or on a schedule; it ships no standing bid engine.

Their fit

Choose Quartile if

Real situations where Quartile is the better buy. If one of them is yours, buy it.

  • One algorithm should run Amazon alongside Walmart, Instacart, Criteo, Google, Meta and Microsoft.

    Quartile's algorithm changes bids, budgets and placements automatically on an hourly cadence from Amazon Marketing Stream data, across Amazon Sponsored Ads and Amazon DSP plus Walmart, Instacart, Criteo for Target and Best Buy, Google Ads, Meta Ads and Microsoft Ads. Amazon recognized Quartile for its use of the Amazon Ads API. A dedicated human strategist and channel experts come with the platform, so the Amazon know-how arrives as a person rather than as software your team configures.

  • The deal calendar and the bidding belong to the same team.

    Beyond advertising, Quartile manages Amazon coupons, Lightning Deals, Prime Exclusive Deals and Subscribe and Save, and its REST API reads listing status, pricing, inventory level, quality scores and FBA inventory. Adbrew reads pricing, inventory and Buy Box into its rules but is not described as running promotions, and neither Perpetua nor Teikametrics publishes promotion management. If the same people set the promotion and then fund it with ads, that is one product instead of two.

Their fit

Choose Teikametrics if

Real situations where Teikametrics is the better buy. If one of them is yours, buy it.

  • You are under $10,000 of monthly ad spend and want a published price with a trial.

    Teikametrics publishes a trial described as risk-free for 30 days for sellers with up to $10,000 of monthly ad spend, converting to $149 or $179 a month, with a free basic plan without AI to fall back to if you cancel before it ends. Data sync starts once a card is entered and a plan is selected. Essentials is $179 a month, or $149 billed annually, and above $10,000 the plans add 3 percent of monthly ad spend over that line. Adbrew publishes a price but no trial; Quartile publishes neither.

  • You want a monthly budget number watched for you, and a daily note about it.

    Budget pacing sets a monthly budget goal per merchant and shows month-to-date spend, a daily breakdown, a full-month forecast and a daily Slack or email snapshot. It reports rather than acts: no automatic adjustment of bids or daily budgets to land the monthly target is documented, so the decision stays with your team, and the daily note is the product.

Our fit

Choose Kuudo if

Where Kuudo is the better buy. A PPC tool does one Amazon job, in the vendor's app, with the vendor's AI. Kuudo does the whole job in your cloud, from the AI you want to use. Beyond PPC, you get Amazon Marketing Cloud, seller operations, Vendor Central, image and video generation, ready-made and custom Playbooks, Amazon operating knowledge, your own data lake, and the AI clients you want to use.

  • The whole Amazon job

    You want the advertising job and everything beyond PPC: ads, seller, vendor and creative, from the same AI.

    Amazon Ads: 711 operations across 53 services, for Sponsored Products, Brands, Display and TV, DSP and Amazon Marketing Cloud. Selling Partner: 304 operations for orders, inventory, pricing, catalog and reports. Vendor Central: 40 operations for purchase orders, shipments, invoices and Retail Analytics. Creative: listing images and product video through Agent Iris. The operating context from Agent Atlas, and your data in a lake you own, all from the AI client you want to use. Adbrew's console does the advertising slice of this. Kuudo does the whole job.

  • Your AI client

    Your AI client is already chosen, and it is not a vendor's.

    Kuudo connects to Claude, Claude Desktop, Claude Cowork, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, n8n, Make, Activepieces and any other client that speaks Model Context Protocol. Where a vendor on this page ships an MCP, it points at the vendor's app and exposes the vendor's list; Kuudo's point at Amazon, with no Kuudo app between your agent and the API. Your team keeps the client it wants, and the agent that handles advertising is the one that handles the rest of the Amazon job.

  • Your rules

    Your rules, your logic, your workflows: read the Skill before it runs, and write the next one.

    12 verified Skills state the job each one does, the inputs it needs, the outputs it returns and the limits it keeps, and you write your own logic, rules and workflows in the same format the structure audit and search-term Skills ship in. The Marketing Cloud Skill is the example: a plain-English question becomes validated SQL, privacy-safe results, and a segment ready to activate in DSP behind your approval. Agent Atlas supplies the Amazon operating knowledge the agent reads before it acts. A vendor's engine runs the vendor's logic; here the logic is yours to read and change.

  • Ownership

    The deployment, the data and the perimeter are yours. Private. Trusted. Owned.

    Kuudo runs in your own AWS, GCP, Azure or Cloudflare account, and Agent Flow lands your Ads and Selling Partner data in a data lake there for your warehouse and BI tools. Your cloud resources connect directly to Amazon, and substantive requests and responses do not route through Kuudo. Kuudo Pro is $0 a month plus $0.95 per 1,000 Amazon API calls, and Kuudo Scale is $249 a month plus $0.55 per 1,000 Amazon API calls: a price for the work, not a share of the budget.

  • Control

    How much you automate, and who does the work, is your call.

    Read tools return data only. Write tools validate the input, apply your workspace policy, and may require a person's approval before a change reaches Amazon, and every call is recorded with its parameters and approval state in a run log. An engine you set and leave is a fine working style; here it is a policy you wrote, not a default you inherited.

Staying put

Stay with Adbrew if

Where Adbrew is still the right answer. Switching costs real time, and these are the cases that do not repay it.

  • Your rules already read margin and days of stock, and the console runs them.

    Adbrew's rule engine takes conditions such as if net margin is below 12 percent and days of stock under 14 then pause the ad, or hands the decision to its AI, and its Budget Planner reallocates a period budget day by day. Kuudo's Skills state their inputs and limits and your AI runs them on request or on a schedule; it ships no standing engine. If a standing rule engine is the working style your team wants, it is theirs.

  • The console already holds your ads, your DSP and your Walmart account, and the team is trained on it.

    Adbrew covers Sponsored Products, Brands, Display and DSP, a no-code Amazon Marketing Cloud query library with audiences, hourly Marketing Stream dayparting, share-of-voice tracking and Walmart Sponsored Ads, with white-glove onboarding and 24/7 support in the Standard plan. Each of those is a vendor's screen for a job your own agent runs on Amazon's surface from the client you want to use; the reason to stay is a team already working well in those screens.

  • Walmart is a real line in your plan.

    Adbrew automates Walmart Connect Sponsored Ads alongside Amazon and describes itself as built deep on both rather than spread across many retailers. Kuudo's published MCP servers are for Amazon Ads, Selling Partner and Vendor Central, and this page claims no other channel. If Walmart shares the plan and the team, one console across both is a real reason.

The differences that matter

4 questions that decide it.

Each one opens with the answer, then what each product does, then what it means for the person doing the work.

If I connect an AI assistant, does it reach Amazon or the vendor's platform?

Adbrew and Teikametrics each publish an MCP, and each is an MCP to that vendor's platform: Adbrew's writes as drafts you approve, Teikametrics' reads only. Perpetua and Quartile publish none. Kuudo's MCP servers expose Amazon's own API operations from your cloud.

Adbrew

An MCP to Adbrew: Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Copilot and Cursor connect to the Adbrew platform and its saved targets, rules and audiences, read reports, and draft bids, budgets, campaigns and audiences that apply once you approve them. Your agent reaches Adbrew, and Adbrew reaches Amazon.

Perpetua

Perpetua is used through its browser app. Help-center searches return no public API, mobile app, or ChatGPT, Claude or MCP integration; the Premium plan lists custom data integrations without detail.

Quartile

No MCP is published. Customers reach Quartile's platform through a documented REST API with OAuth2 that Quartile must activate, and no endpoint for setting bids or budgets directly was found.

Teikametrics

An MCP to Teikametrics, in early access: twelve read-only tools over Teikametrics' own data for Claude and ChatGPT, with no write or campaign-management actions.

Kuudo

Amazon. Kuudo's MCP servers expose Amazon's own API operations as tools, 711 of them for Ads across 53 services, run from your own cloud. There is no Kuudo app between your agent and Amazon.

What it means for you. A vendor MCP is an interview with the vendor's database. What your agent sees is what the vendor exports, and what it can do is what the vendor has built so far. That is a fine trade when the vendor's product is what you are buying, and a hard ceiling when the agent is.

What decides a bid change, and can I read the reasoning?

Adbrew lets you choose between its machine learning and a rule you wrote; Perpetua, Quartile and Teikametrics run their own algorithm inside your limits. Of the four, only Adbrew shows its rules as plain conditions. On Kuudo the playbook is a Skill you can read, or one you write.

Adbrew

Adbrew's machine learning, or a rule you wrote in plain conditions such as margin and days of stock; you choose which. The rule is shown on its page as plain conditions, and the AI's reasons for a given bid are not published.

Perpetua

The engine decides bids against your target, and you add rules for negatives, organic rank, competitor signals and inventory. A history dashboard logs when rule changes applied, and no page shows why the engine chose a given bid.

Quartile

Quartile's proprietary, patented AI decides changes toward a target you set, and you can add or substitute your own scheduled rules. No page says a customer can see why a specific change was made.

Teikametrics

Goal-based bidding decides inside your goal, cost limit and optional minimum and maximum. User-written logic is limited to keyword custom filters and dayparting schedules, and the FAQ explains the general drivers rather than a per-change rationale.

Kuudo

Your playbook: 12 verified Skills, each stating the job it does, the inputs it needs, the outputs it returns, and the limits it keeps, or Skills you write in the same format.

What it means for you. If the algorithm is the thing you are buying, its opacity is part of the deal and a reasonable one. If the judgment your team earned is the asset, it needs a form you can read, edit and hand to someone new.

What can change on my Amazon account before I approve it?

Adbrew's MCP drafts every change for your approval while its rule and AI automation apply on their own; Perpetua and Teikametrics route rules and keywords through a review list while bids apply automatically; Quartile applies everything automatically. On Kuudo, writes wait on the policy you set.

Adbrew

MCP changes are drafts until you say yes. Rule and AI automation optimizes bids, budgets, targets and placements automatically, with no review mode published.

Perpetua

Rules and keyword harvesting can be set to manual approval in a pending-approval tab or to apply automatically, and recommendations require approve or dismiss. The engine's own bid changes have no approval step.

Quartile

No review queue, approval step or manual mode is described. The AI updates bids, budgets and placements in real time, and customer rules run automatically on the chosen schedule.

Teikametrics

There is no approval queue for bids: once AI bidding is on they post automatically, and manual bid edits are only available when automation is off. Keyword and negative filters default to review and can be switched to automatic.

Kuudo

Read tools return data only. Write tools are guarded: they validate input, apply your workspace policy, and may require your explicit approval before a change reaches Amazon.

What it means for you. Automation is the point of all of these, so an unattended write is a feature, not a flaw. The question is who sets the boundary. A policy you configure per workspace is a different thing from a mode a vendor ships.

What does each one cost, and can I see the price before a call?

Adbrew is $799 a month or a percentage of spend, whichever is greater, with the percentage unstated; Perpetua and Teikametrics publish flat prices that add a percentage above $10,000 of spend; Quartile publishes nothing. Kuudo is priced per Amazon API call.

Perpetua

Essentials is $695 a month for up to $10,000 of monthly ad spend; Growth is $695 a month plus an undisclosed percentage of ad spend above $10,000; Premium is custom above $500,000. The terms say contracts auto-renew per the order form.

Quartile

Teikametrics

Essentials is $179 a month, or $149 billed annually, for up to $10,000 of monthly ad spend; above that, plans add 3 percent of monthly ad spend over $10,000. Essential Tier 2 is $599, Advanced $1,439, Enterprise custom, and a free basic plan carries no AI.

Kuudo Pro: $0 a month plus $0.95 per 1,000 Amazon API calls. Kuudo Scale: $249 a month plus $0.55 per 1,000 Amazon API calls. No percentage of ad spend, and the calculator models a month for a brand owner, an agency or aggregator, and an automation-heavy seller.

What it means for you. A percentage of ad spend rises with the budget whether or not the work does, which is why it suits a managed service and chafes on a self-run account. Metering API calls prices the work, so model the month you expect: reports pulled, audits run, writes applied.

Model your month in the calculator

Running both

Keep Adbrew on the automation, and let your AI read Amazon directly.

The two connect to Amazon separately. Kuudo's MCP servers run in your own cloud on your own Amazon credentials, so your AI can pull the reports from Amazon itself, run the Selling Partner and Vendor Central work Adbrew does not cover, and land the data in your own lake, while Adbrew's rules and AI go on doing what you set them to do. One thing to settle first: Adbrew's automation writes bids, budgets and placements on its own schedule, so decide which system owns bids before your AI writes one.

  1. Step 1

    Deploy the Amazon Ads and Selling Partner MCP servers in your own cloud and connect your Amazon accounts.

  2. Step 2

    Ask your AI for the campaign, search-term and placement reports from Amazon itself, and read the account back as Amazon has it, whatever moved it.

  3. Step 3

    Run the work the automation does not cover: Vendor Central purchase orders, shipments, invoices and Retail Analytics, plus Selling Partner orders, inventory, pricing and catalog.

  4. Step 4

    Land the Ads and Selling Partner data in a data lake in your own cloud with Agent Flow, and leave bid writes with Adbrew's automation until you decide otherwise.

Methodology

How we compared

Every fact on this page links to the page that states it, with the date it was checked. What we could not verify is listed, not guessed.

Competitor facts come from pages the competitor publishes. Kuudo facts come from Amazon Ads MCP tools reference, Amazon Agent Atlas documentation, Kuudo pricing calculator, Amazon Agent Flow documentation, Amazon Agent Iris documentation, Kuudo MCP servers reference, Kuudo pricing, Amazon Agent Skills reference, Amazon Selling Partner MCP tools reference. Planned work is cited to the roadmap and worded as planned. This page compares tools.

What we could not verify

  • The percentage of ad spend in Adbrew's Standard price; the pricing page says "or % of ad spend, whichever is greater" without the number.
  • Whether Adbrew's rule and AI automation can be routed to a review or approval step; only MCP changes are described as drafts.
  • Which plan includes Adbrew MCP and whether it is generally available; the MCP page states neither.
  • Whether Adbrew supports Sponsored TV; it is not listed among SP, SB, SBV and SD.
  • Whether an existing Amazon Marketing Cloud instance is required for Adbrew's AMC tool.
  • Adbrew's data retention period and hosting region; neither the terms nor the privacy policy state them.
  • Perpetua's marketing blog announced a Sponsored Brands video creator that builds a video for any ASIN from preset themes. The current help center article for launching a Sponsored Brands video goal documents uploading an MP4 or MOV to spec with no such option, and the Sponsored Brand Goals collection lists no video creator article, so that tool could not be confirmed as live today.
  • Teikametrics publishes AI-generated product images only on the GenAI Smart Pages early access landing page. The main www.teikametrics.com/genai-smart-pages/ URL describes Gen AI that enhances titles and descriptions and does not mention images, so image generation may be limited to the pilot.
  • quartile-2 (https://www.quartile.com/amazon-ppc) and scaleinsights-15 (https://scaleinsights.com/) were both re-verified today, 2026-09-08; their checkedOn values in comparePages.js still read 2026-09-02 and should be bumped if this row ships reusing them.
  • The exact percentage of ad spend Perpetua charges on Growth and Premium; its invoice article says to review the contract signed at onboarding.
  • Perpetua's annual commitment, minimum term or cancellation notice period; its terms defer these to the order form.
  • Whether Perpetua supports Sponsored TV; no site or help-center page mentions it.
  • Whether Perpetua explains why its engine chose a specific bid; the ad-engine and bid-adjustment articles do not say.
  • Perpetua's cloud provider, hosting region or data retention period; its privacy policy gives none.
  • Whether Quartile covers Sponsored Products, Brands, Display and TV individually; its pages say only Amazon Sponsored Ads.
  • Whether Quartile connects to Seller Central or Vendor Central; its privacy policy references an Amazon MWS API token and neither SP-API nor either console is named.
  • Quartile's search-term harvesting, negative keywords, budget pacing, approval step and per-change verification: none is published.
  • Quartile's actual prices, minimums or percentage-of-spend rate; its terms describe tiering by ad spend, channel count and service level only.
  • Teikametrics' search-term and placement report views: not found in Ads Manager or help searches; the only search-term mention tells users to download the report from Amazon.
  • Whether Teikametrics supports Sponsored TV; it is not listed among supported ad types.
  • Whether Teikametrics' predictive bidding applies to Amazon DSP; its DSP article documents manual bid edits only.
  • Teikametrics' data retention period and hosting region; neither its privacy policy nor its terms state them.
  • Which Teikametrics plan includes its MCP; the overview says a paid plan without naming a tier.

Frequently asked questions

Questions sellers ask when they outgrow Adbrew.

What each alternative is actually for, what it costs, and where Kuudo fits.

What is Adbrew, and what does it cost?
Adbrew is Amazon PPC automation: rule-based or AI bidding across Sponsored Products, Brands, Display and DSP, a no-code Amazon Marketing Cloud tool, hourly Marketing Stream dayparting and Walmart Sponsored Ads, hosted by Adbrew. Standard is $799 a month or a percentage of ad spend, whichever is greater, up to $500,000 of monthly spend; Enterprise is custom; no free trial is published.
What are the best Adbrew alternatives?
Perpetua for a published flat price and an engine that runs to a target; Quartile for hourly optimization with a dedicated strategist and channels beyond Amazon; Teikametrics for a self-serve start under $10,000 of monthly spend. Kuudo is not another optimizer: a PPC tool does one Amazon job in the vendor's app, and Kuudo does the whole job in your cloud, from the AI you want to use.
Does Adbrew have an MCP for Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes, an MCP to the Adbrew platform. Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Copilot and Cursor read reports and draft bids, budgets, campaigns and audiences that apply once you approve them. Kuudo's MCP servers point at Amazon's own API operations from your own cloud, so the ceiling is Amazon's API rather than a vendor's list.
Can I keep Adbrew and use Kuudo?
Yes. They connect to Amazon separately. Kuudo's MCP servers run in your own cloud on your own credentials, so your AI can read the reports from Amazon itself, run the seller and vendor work Adbrew does not cover, and land the data in your own lake while Adbrew's automation goes on doing what you set it to do. Decide which system owns bids before your AI writes one.
Does Adbrew offer a free trial?
No free trial or free tier appears on Adbrew's pricing, seller, demo or consultation pages; the route is a demo or consultation with white-glove onboarding. Teikametrics and Scale Insights publish 30-day trials. Kuudo Community is free: one instance of each Amazon MCP server in your own cloud, with no usage charges.
