[01] WHAT IT IS

ENTERPRISE OMNICHANNEL MEDIA-BUYING PLATFORM.

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.

[03] BEING FAIR

WHEN SKAI IS THE RIGHT CALL.

If you're a large brand or agency running complex campaigns across retail media, search, and social all at once, with a media-buying team already in place, Skai is built exactly for that scale. It's not aimed at a business without a marketing department.

[04] FAQ

QUESTIONS.

Is EXOD better than Skai?[+]

Different customers entirely. Skai is an enterprise platform for large media-buying teams running campaigns across many channels — pricing is custom and sales-led. EXOD is built for any business, including solo operators, to get real Meta ads running with zero team, at a flat $97/month. If you have an enterprise media team, Skai. If you don't, 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.
