[01] WHAT IT IS

ENTERPRISE CREATIVE, MEDIA, AND INTELLIGENCE SUITE.

Smartly.io is an enterprise-grade platform unifying creative production, media buying, and analytics across social, connected TV, video, and other channels. It's built for agency, performance, brand, and creative teams at mid-to-large organizations running complex, multi-channel campaigns — pricing isn't public, and it's sold through custom enterprise contracts. It's a genuinely powerful platform, just not one aimed at small or solo-operator businesses.

[03] BEING FAIR

WHEN SMARTLY.IO IS STILL THE RIGHT CALL.

If you're running complex, multi-channel campaigns across social, CTV, and video simultaneously, and you already have a marketing team in place to direct creative and strategy across all of it, Smartly.io is built exactly for that breadth. The real difference isn't budget — EXOD runs large Meta budgets fine — it's that Smartly.io covers many channels with a team directing it, and EXOD covers Meta with no team needed at all.

[04] FAQ

QUESTIONS.

Is EXOD better than Smartly.io?[+]

They're built for different customers, not different budgets. Smartly.io is an enterprise platform for brands and agencies with an existing marketing team running multi-channel campaigns — pricing is custom and sales-led. EXOD runs real Meta campaigns with zero team and zero setup at a flat $97/month, and scales fine into six-figure monthly ad spend — it's the same research/copy/creative/optimization work either way. If you need multi-channel coverage with a team directing it, Smartly.io. If you want Meta run with no team required, EXOD.

Can a small business use Smartly.io?[+]

Smartly.io doesn't publish self-serve pricing and sells through enterprise sales contracts aimed at organizations with dedicated marketing teams — it's not really built or priced for a small or solo-operator business. EXOD is: flat public pricing, no sales call required.
