Looking for a Skai alternative?
Skai's enterprise-only pricing and dedicated media-buying-team requirement put it out of reach for most businesses looking for an alternative. EXOD runs with zero team, at a flat public price.

Skai (formerly Kenshoo) is a long-established enterprise platform used by major brands like PepsiCo and agencies like Dentsu to manage advertising across retail media, search, and social from one system. Its "Celeste AI" gives proactive recommendations, but it's built for guided decision-making by a media-buying team, not unsupervised execution — and pricing is enterprise sales only.
WHERE EXOD ACTUALLY DIFFERS.
None — EXOD runs the account daily on its own
A dedicated media-buying team directs strategy; AI recommends, humans decide
Yes, automatically, in the business's own language
No — focused on media buying and optimization, not copywriting
Yes, automatically (images and video)
No — connects to existing creative, doesn't generate it
Meta (Facebook & Instagram) today — Google, TikTok, X, and more launching soon, same zero-input model
True multi-platform — retail media, search, Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, 300+ publishers
Flat, public pricing — $97/mo or $970/yr
Not public — enterprise sales and demo only
Any business, from solo operators to six-figure monthly ad spend — the work is the same either way, no team required
Enterprise brands and large agencies with dedicated media-buying teams
WHEN SKAI IS STILL THE RIGHT CALL.
If you're running complex campaigns across retail media, search, and social all at once, with a media-buying team already in place to direct that many channels, Skai is built exactly for that breadth. It's not about the size of the budget — EXOD handles a large Meta budget the same way it handles a small one — it's that Skai spans many channels with a team, and EXOD is Meta with no team required.
QUESTIONS.
Is EXOD better than Skai?[+][-]
Different customers, not different budgets. Skai is a platform for media-buying teams running campaigns across many channels — pricing is custom and sales-led. EXOD runs real Meta campaigns with zero team, at a flat $97/month, and scales fine to six-figure monthly spend on its own. If you have a media-buying team running many channels, Skai. If you want Meta run with no team required, EXOD.
Can a small business afford Skai?[+][-]
Skai doesn't publish self-serve pricing and sells through enterprise contracts aimed at large brands and agencies — realistically not built or priced for a small business. EXOD is: flat public pricing, no sales call required.
