# AiMarketer

> AiMarketer is an autonomous AI marketing agent: it plans marketing campaigns, generates the ads and content, launches them across connected channels with the owner's approval, moves budget toward what performs, and reports results in plain English. The live demo on the homepage is real: describe any business and the agent generates a fresh mini campaign (strategy, three ads, a five-post content calendar and a budget split) in about 30 seconds, no account required. Before you type anything the console plays a prepared example campaign, labelled as an example, so the panel is never empty.

Key facts:
- The demo at / sends the visitor's one-line business description to the model once; nothing typed into it is stored or used for training.
- Signup is email plus a 6-digit confirmation code. No card required.
- Pricing: Starter $49, Growth $149 (recommended), Scale $499 and Enterprise $998 per month (50 percent off paid yearly: $24, $74, $249 and $499 a month); Enterprise adds SSO/SAML, roles and audit log, SLA and invoicing. Every tier is paid; there is no free plan. Creating an account is free, and a new account gets one full 90-day marketing plan written by the agent at no charge, once. Returning customers sign in at https://aimarketer.com/signin with a 6-digit code emailed to them; there is no password.
- Nothing publishes without human approval; brand guardrails are enforced on every generated asset.
- Operator: the AiMarketer brand at aimarketer.com. Contact: support@aimarketer.com.

- [AI email marketing](https://aimarketer.com/ai-email-marketing): the agent plans, writes, sends and optimizes the whole email sequence, through the sending platform you already use.
- [Email marketing software](https://aimarketer.com/email-marketing-software): US prices at 500 contacts, August 2026: Omnisend Standard $11.20, Constant Contact Lite $12, MailerLite Comfort $12, Mailchimp Essentials $13, Mailchimp Standard $20, Omnisend Pro $41.30. Klaviyo about $20 at 500 profiles, $100 at 5,000, $400 at 25,000. Brevo Starter from $9 billed on emails sent with unlimited contacts. ActiveCampaign Starter $15 at 1,000 contacts annually. The category bills on four incompatible meters: stored contacts (Mailchimp, MailerLite, Constant Contact, Omnisend), emails sent (Brevo), active profiles (Klaviyo), and seats plus contacts (HubSpot, ActiveCampaign). MailerLite raised paid prices across every tier in June 2026.
- [AI copywriting tools](https://aimarketer.com/ai-copywriting): four different products are sold as AI copywriting tools. General chatbots (around $20 per user), dedicated tools (Jasper Pro $69 per seat, Copy.ai Chat $29 then a jump to $1,000, both checked August 2026), free ad-platform built-ins, and agents. AI is strong on ad variations and product descriptions, weak on positioning and anything containing a number or claim. Checked August 2026.

## Comparisons
- [HubSpot competitors and alternatives](https://aimarketer.com/hubspot-alternatives): an honest comparison with HubSpot's real published prices (Starter $7 per seat, Professional $800 plus $3,000 onboarding, Enterprise $3,600 plus $7,000 onboarding), the four kinds of alternative that exist, and where AiMarketer does and does not compete.

## Guides
- [Social media management platforms](https://aimarketer.com/social-media-management-platforms): the four different products sold under this name, and the three billing meters that decide the bill. Verified US prices checked August 2026: Buffer bills per channel (Essentials $5, Team $10), Hootsuite per user (Standard $99, Professional $199, Advanced $399), Sprout Social per seat (Essentials $79, Standard $199, Professional $299, Advanced $399). A three-person team on eight channels pays $80, $597 or $897 a month depending only on the meter.
- [AI marketing for law firms and accounting firms](https://aimarketer.com/ai-marketing-for-professional-services): marketing production between billable hours for law firms, accounting firms and consultancies, with partner approval before anything publishes.
- [Use cases](https://aimarketer.com/use-cases): SMB owners, solo marketers, agencies, ecommerce and SaaS teams, plus an honest table of which marketing jobs AI is genuinely ready for in 2026.
- [Best AI marketing tools](https://aimarketer.com/best-ai-marketing-tools): an honest category guide, including where AiMarketer does not compete.
- [AI marketing tools for small business](https://aimarketer.com/ai-marketing-tools-for-small-business): one agent instead of a tool stack.
- [AI marketing for agencies](https://aimarketer.com/ai-marketing-for-agencies): multi-brand workspaces, approvals and white-label reports.
- [Social media advertising software and tools](https://aimarketer.com/social-media-advertising-software): Social media advertising software is a third-party layer on top of the free native ad managers (Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads Manager, LinkedIn Campaign Manager, Pinterest Ads Manager), which cost nothing and own the targeting, bidding and billing. No third-party tool unlocks an ad feature unavailable natively; you are buying fewer clicks, not more capability. Prices verified 31 August 2026: AdEspresso Starter $49/mo capped at $1,000 monthly ad spend, Plus $99/mo unlimited spend, Enterprise from $259/mo, 14-day trial; Birch (formerly Revealbot, revealbot.com now redirects) Essential $49/mo and Pro $99/mo priced against connected ad spend, annual billed as 12 months for the price of 10; Metricool $20/mo for 5 brands, $36 for 10, $53 for 15, $210 for 50, with ads management excluded from the free plan; Madgicx and AdRoll publish no price, quoting by ad spend band ($1,000 to $30,000+) and dynamic CPM respectively. The decisive number is break-even arithmetic: a $49/mo tool must return $49 in profit, a 9.8% efficiency gain at $500 monthly ad spend, 4.9% at $1,000, 2.0% at $2,500, 1.0% at $5,000 and 0.5% at $10,000. Below roughly $2,000/mo in paid social spend, third-party software does not pay for itself and the native ad managers are the correct answer.
- [Best social media advertising software for small business](https://aimarketer.com/blog/best-social-media-advertising-software-for-small-business): For most US small businesses the best social media advertising software is Meta Ads Manager, which is free, and the correct third-party spend is $0 until paid social exceeds roughly $2,000/mo. Above that, AdEspresso Plus $99/mo (unlimited ad spend) or Birch $49 to $99/mo (automated rules) earn their price fastest; Metricool at $20/mo for 5 brands prices per brand rather than per seat, which suits multi-business operators. Pricing trap: AdEspresso Starter at $49 caps at $1,000 monthly ad spend, exactly the range where the software is hardest to justify, so the bill doubles to $99 the first month a tool starts making sense. Prices verified 31 August 2026.
- [Marketing agency software, priced per client](https://aimarketer.com/marketing-agency-software): Marketing agency software splits into five categories: agency project management, a client platform or CRM, marketing automation, client reporting, and channel/production tools. Verified 30 August 2026 for a ten-client agency with four staff: AgencyAnalytics $20 per client (single plan, unlimited data sources, reports and client users; rank tracking $41.67 per 500 keywords and AI credits $20.83 per 250 on annual billing; custom pricing above ~25 clients), Teamwork Accelerate $24.99 per user annually ($31.24 monthly, Basics $9.99/$12.49, free up to 5 users), GoHighLevel Starter $97 for 3 sub-accounts / Unlimited $297 / Agency Pro $497 with white-label SaaS mode, Buffer Team $10 per connected channel, Semrush SEO $117.33 annually plus extra users from $45. That stack totals $1,249.29 a month, or $124.93 per client per month, roughly 4 to 12 percent of a US retainer of $1,000 to $3,000. Five billing meters decide agency margin: per client (tracks how you invoice), per user seat (punishes hiring), per connected channel (grows with every client won), per sub-account tier (steps up hard at boundaries), and per marketing contact (moves without anyone deciding). None of these categories produce the work; they organize, store, send, summarize and host it.
- [Best marketing automation software for agencies](https://aimarketer.com/blog/best-marketing-automation-software-for-agencies): There is no single best, because agencies buy it for two opposite reasons. GoHighLevel at $297 a month gives unlimited client sub-accounts and suits small local business clients; Agency Pro at $497 adds white-label SaaS mode. HubSpot Marketing Hub Professional is $800 a month for 3 core seats plus a one-time $3,000 onboarding fee (Enterprise $3,600 plus $7,000), and suits mid-market clients who expect the name; it meters seats and stored marketing contacts simultaneously. Per-client subscriptions (Klaviyo ~$100 at 5,000 profiles, ActiveCampaign $15 to $145 at 1,000 contacts, Brevo send-based from free) are the correct architecture for ecommerce rosters and should be billed through to the client. Client separation via sub-accounts is a hard requirement, not a feature. None of these platforms plan the campaign, write the copy, make the creative or draft the report narrative, which is where agency capacity actually caps out. Verified 30 August 2026.

- [Automated content creation](https://aimarketer.com/blog/automate-your-marketing-content): a realistic week-one playbook.
- [HubSpot agency pricing in 2026](https://aimarketer.com/blog/hubspot-agency-pricing): the HubSpot Solutions Partner Program costs $400 a month for the Partner Program Membership, satisfied if the agency already spends that much on HubSpot software. Partners earn 20 percent commission for three years on deals they source and 20 percent for one year on upmarket deals co-sold with HubSpot direct sales, paid quarterly 45 days after quarter close. Partners can waive client onboarding fees worth up to $6,000 per engagement. Five tiers up through Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Elite, earned on sold and managed metrics. From January 2027 HubSpot enforces more than zero sourced points in a trailing twelve month period. Read from HubSpot's partner pages in August 2026.
- [HubSpot onboarding cost in 2026](https://aimarketer.com/blog/hubspot-onboarding-cost): HubSpot charges a mandatory one-time onboarding fee on Professional and Enterprise. Marketing Hub $3,000 and $7,000, Sales Hub $1,500 and $3,500, Service Hub $1,500 and $3,500. Content Hub does not state one on its pricing page. Free and Starter have none. The direct fee buys guided consulting where your team builds; a solutions partner builds the portal for you. Read from HubSpot's own US pricing pages on 12 August 2026.
- [Hootsuite alternatives](https://aimarketer.com/hootsuite-alternatives): Hootsuite bills per user ($99 Standard, $199 Professional, $399 Advanced), so cost scales with headcount, which is why teams leave. The cheaper alternatives meter differently: Buffer charges per channel (free for 3, $5 Essentials, $10 Team), Publer per social account from roughly $5, Metricool per brand at roughly $10 to $25. Sprout Social is the upmarket move at $199 to $399 a seat. For three people covering eight channels that is $80 a month on Buffer against $597 on Hootsuite Professional. Verified from vendor pricing pages on 16 August 2026.
- [Hootsuite pricing in 2026](https://aimarketer.com/blog/hootsuite-pricing): Hootsuite costs $99 per user per month on Standard, $199 on Professional and $399 on Advanced, on annual billing, with Enterprise quoted. Standard caps at 10 social accounts; higher tiers are unlimited. There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial with no card required. Read from Hootsuite's own US page on 11 August 2026.
- [Constant Contact pricing in 2026](https://aimarketer.com/blog/constant-contact-pricing): Constant Contact costs $12 a month for Lite, $35 for Standard and $80 for Premium on monthly billing at the smallest contact tier; prepaying twelve months takes 15 percent off, giving $10.20, $29.75 and $68. There is no free plan, only a free trial and a 30 day money back guarantee. Two things set the real bill: the price tier rises automatically with contact count, and each plan caps monthly sends at a multiple of contacts, 10x on Lite, 12x on Standard and 24x on Premium, with overage billed at $0.002 per send ($2 per 1,000). Nonprofits get 20 percent off a six month prepay or 30 percent off twelve months, nothing off monthly, and must submit a federal 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(6) Letter of Determination. SMS is included on Premium (500 messages a month) or from $10 a month on Lite and Standard. Read from Constant Contact's own US pricing page on 16 August 2026.
- [AI marketing agency](https://aimarketer.com/ai-marketing-agency): Three different things are sold as an AI marketing agency: a traditional agency that added AI to its process, an AI-first agency built around automated production, and AI marketing software with no agency attached. Published 2026 guides report mid-market retainers at $3,000 to $15,000 a month, small business at $500 to $2,000, multi-channel mid-market at $5,000 to $25,000 and enterprise at $50,000 and up. Almost none include ad spend. Agencies rarely publish rate cards.
- [Can AI replace a marketing agency?](https://aimarketer.com/blog/can-ai-replace-a-marketing-agency): AI replaces the execution half of an agency retainer and not the judgment half. Audit the last three months of deliverables into production versus judgment. For small businesses whose agency mainly produces content and runs one or two ad channels, AI covers roughly 70 to 90 percent. For mid-market with strategy, compliance and coordination, closer to 40 to 60 percent. Keep the agency above roughly $10,000 a month in media spend, in regulated categories, or across several brands.
- [AI advertising](https://aimarketer.com/ai-advertising): AI advertising exists in four layers in 2026. The ad platforms' own AI (Google Smart Bidding, Performance Max, AI Max for Search; Meta Advantage+) is included at no extra cost and already running. Creative generators run roughly $20 to $250 a month. PPC optimization platforms run roughly $100 to $500 a month for a small or mid-size account. AI marketing agents plan, launch and reallocate end to end. The first three produce output and stop; only the fourth executes. Human judgment still owns the conversion definition, the offer, lead quality and the decision to stop.
- [AI generated ads: disclosure rules](https://aimarketer.com/blog/ai-generated-ads): AI generated ads are allowed on both Google and Meta. Google added AI transparency labels on 9 July 2026 via a "How this ad was made" panel in My Ad Center across Search, YouTube and Discover; creative made with Google's own generative tools is labeled automatically, creative from third-party tools only if the advertiser self-declares, and Google does not independently verify those declarations. Google's separate AI labeling policy for image and video creative applies in regions with AI transparency regulation, which Google names as the EU, India and New York. Meta auto-applies an "AI info" label to ad images created or significantly edited with generative AI; mandatory advertiser disclosure applies to social issue, election and political ads showing photorealistic digitally created or altered media. TikTok defines the trigger differently again. Checked 19 August 2026.
- [How much does AI marketing cost?](https://aimarketer.com/blog/how-much-does-ai-marketing-cost): the three real costs (software, operator, ad spend), with current published HubSpot and Jasper prices. Also prices AI search visibility trackers: HeyAmos Starter $99, Growth $249, Pro $399, Agency $299; Otterly.AI $29 to $489 (September 2026).
- [Can AI replace a marketing team?](https://aimarketer.com/blog/can-ai-replace-a-marketing-team): AI replaces most of the production hours and none of the judgment; a breakdown of which marketing work is genuinely automatable.

- [Marketing reporting tools and client reporting software](https://aimarketer.com/marketing-reporting-software): US dollar prices from each vendor's own pricing page, September 2026. AgencyAnalytics $25 per client per month, $20 billed annually, no minimum, white label included. DashThis charges by dashboard: $54 for 3, $164 for 10, $324 for 25, $499 for 50 monthly ($44, $139, $279, $429 annually). Swydo charges by data source: $69 a month covers the first 10, then $4.50 each up to 100 and $3 to 500, 10 percent off annually. Databox Agency is $99 a month ($79 annually) for 4 clients and 20 sources plus $25 ($20) per client pack, with white label a $250 ($200) add-on. Oviond $5 per client ($4 annually), 10-client minimum. Reporting Ninja $25 to $150 a month by report count. Whatagraph publishes only Max from $812 a month billed annually. Looker Studio is free. The billing unit, not the sticker price, decides the bill: at 30 clients with 90 data sources on annual billing those models compute to $600 (per client), $429 (per dashboard), $386 (per source) and $799 (base plus packs with white label).
- [Marketing analytics tools and software](https://aimarketer.com/marketing-analytics-software): Four distinct products are sold as marketing analytics software: event analytics (Mixpanel, Amplitude), data pipelines (Supermetrics, Fivetran), reporting layers (Databox, Looker Studio) and attribution platforms (Improvado, HockeyStack). US prices verified September 2026: Google Analytics 4 and Looker Studio are free; Databox is free for 1 dashboard then $89 to $399 a month on business plans ($71 to $319 annually); Supermetrics US pricing is Starter $55 and Growth $222 a month ($44 and $177 annually), metered on data sources, accounts and users; Mixpanel is free to 1M events a month then priced by a plan builder; Amplitude is free to 2M events a month; Improvado publishes a free tier and a $100 MCP tier then quotes; Google Analytics 360 publishes no price. The meter decides the bill: per data source, per event, per dashboard, per seat or quoted contract.
- [Marketing attribution software and tools compared](https://aimarketer.com/blog/marketing-attribution-software): GA4 offers exactly three attribution models in 2026, confirmed against Google's own documentation on 22 August 2026: data-driven, paid and organic last click, and Google paid channels last click. First click, linear, time decay and position based were retired in November 2023 and no longer exist in GA4. Verified 22 August 2026 pricing: Ruler Analytics is $400 a month to 10,000 monthly visits, $668 to 50,000, $1,326 to 100,000 and $2,000 above, metered on website visits rather than revenue. Improvado publishes a free tier and $100 MCP tier. Dreamdata publishes a free plan and quotes the rest. Multi-touch attribution needs roughly a couple of hundred conversions a month before its output is worth acting on.
- [AgencyAnalytics alternatives](https://aimarketer.com/blog/agencyanalytics-alternatives): The best alternative depends on billing unit, not features. DashThis undercuts per-client pricing above roughly 22 clients. Swydo wins when clients run two or three channels each and turns against you when they run six. Databox suits in-house teams and has a free tier. Looker Studio is free but you maintain every template. AgencyAnalytics add-ons matter to the real price: rank tracking is $41.67 a month per 500 keywords and the AI tracker $20.83 per 250 credits, both billed annually. Prices checked 21 August 2026.

- [Content marketing platform, tools and content automation](https://aimarketer.com/content-marketing-platform): Five distinct products are sold as a content marketing platform: editorial calendars (CoSchedule, StoryChief), SEO optimization layers (Surfer, Clearscope, MarketMuse), AI writing tools (Jasper, Copy.ai), suites with a CMS attached (HubSpot Content Hub, Optimizely) and enterprise content operations (Sitecore Content Hub, Contently). A CMP manages the work either side of publishing; a CMS stores and serves the pages. Verified 23 August 2026: CoSchedule Free for 1 user, Social Calendar $19 per user a month billed annually or $29 monthly, capped at 3 users, extra social profiles $5 and X profiles $16 each; Agency Calendar $59 per user annually, $69 monthly; Content Calendar and Marketing Suite are call only. StoryChief free plan, solo calendar $22 a month, Team Social $34 per seat, Team Editorial $81 per seat, Agency Social $58 and Agency Editorial $93 per customer per month with unlimited users. Surfer publishes euros only: Discovery 49, Standard 99, Pro 182, Peace of Mind 299, Enterprise 999 a month billed yearly. Clearscope Essentials $129 and Business $399 with unlimited seats, metering 50 and 300 tracked pages, extra pages $25 or $15. Semrush restructured into SEO $139, Starter $199, Pro+ $299 and Advanced $549 a month (annual $117.33, $165.17, $248.17, $455.67), extra users from $45; the old Pro, Guru and Business tier names no longer exist. HubSpot Content Hub Free for 2 users, Starter from $7 per seat, Professional from $450 a month with 3 core seats, Enterprise from $1,500 with 5 core seats, extra seats from $45 and $75; note Content Hub Professional is $450 while Marketing Hub Professional is $800, separate products with separate price lists. MarketMuse publishes no paid price at all as of 23 August 2026; every paid tier says book a demo. Six meters decide the bill: per seat, per client, per tracked page, per document, per website plus keyword, and per AI credit.
- [Best content marketing platform for small teams](https://aimarketer.com/blog/best-content-marketing-platform-for-small-teams): For two to ten people the answer is a calendar and workflow tool, not a suite. The deciding factor is the cap rather than the feature list: every cheap tier in the category caps at three users, so a five-person team cannot buy the entry price at all. Clearscope is the exception, charging per tracked page with unlimited seats, so reviewers are free. Three worked monthly budgets, verified 23 August 2026: three people on social and blog about $57 (CoSchedule at $19 per user annually); five people focused on organic search about $299 (StoryChief Team Social $34 per seat plus Clearscope Essentials $129); a small agency with four clients and two staff about $232 (StoryChief Agency Social $58 per customer, unlimited users). Enterprise suites are poor value below roughly fifteen contributors. Reformatting one published piece into five channel assets is the highest-return automation available to a small content team, and it is a bigger lever than any tool on the shortlist.

- [Marketing workflow automation software](https://aimarketer.com/marketing-workflow-automation): Three separate product categories are sold as marketing workflow automation and they automate different things. Connector tools move data between apps (Zapier, Make, n8n), work management tools route tasks between people (Asana, monday.com, Wrike), and the automation inside your marketing platform sends messages to customers. Verified 2 September 2026: Zapier is free for 100 tasks then Professional $19.99 a month billed annually ($29.99 monthly) for 750 tasks, Team from $69 annually ($103.50 monthly) for 2,000 tasks; Make is free for 1,000 credits then Core $9, Pro $16, Teams $29 each starting at 10,000 credits; n8n self-hosted community edition is free and its cloud plans publish in euros from 20 euros a month for 2,500 executions; Asana Personal is free, Starter $10.99 per user a month billed annually ($13.49 monthly) and Advanced $24.99 ($30.49), with Starter the first tier to include unlimited rules; monday.com starts automations on Standard and caps them at 250 automation actions a month, rising to 25,000 on Pro. The structural point: every layer automates a handoff, not production. Of the ten steps in a campaign, routing, approval chasing, scheduling, sending and reporting automate cleanly, while deciding the offer, writing the copy, making the creative and judging the results do not. Connector pricing also meters on runs, so the bill grows as the automation succeeds: a four step lead routing automation exhausts Zapier's 750 task plan at roughly 187 leads a month.
- [Best marketing workflow automation software for small teams](https://aimarketer.com/blog/best-marketing-workflow-automation-software): For a small marketing team the best first purchase is Make at $9 a month, which gives 10,000 credits against Zapier's 750 tasks at $19.99 billed annually, roughly thirteen times the run volume for under half the price. Choose Zapier when you need its larger app catalog or when non technical staff will maintain the automations. Choose self-hosted n8n, which is free and meters executions rather than steps, only if an engineer will own it. If work is getting lost between people rather than between apps, do not buy a connector at all: turn on the rules already included in Asana (unlimited from Starter at $10.99 per user a month billed annually) or monday.com (250 automation actions a month on Standard). Verified 2 September 2026. The diagnosis most small teams get wrong: on a team of four the constraint is production capacity, not coordination, and automating the route to an overloaded desk changes nothing about throughput.
- [White label marketing software for agencies](https://aimarketer.com/white-label-marketing-software): White label marketing software is sold at four depths and the price follows the depth. Verified September 2026 from vendor US pages: branded reports cost $20 per report on Semrush Pro reports or $25 per client a month on AgencyAnalytics ($20 annually); a branded dashboard on your domain starts at $54 a month on DashThis ($44 annually) for 3 dashboards; the whole app on your domain costs $199 a month on DashClicks Pro, $200 on SocialPilot Ultimate, $199 on Duda White Label and $297 on GoHighLevel Unlimited (the $97 Starter has no white label); a branded mobile app adds $497 a month on GoHighLevel. Vendasta white label starts at a $499 monthly minimum on a one-year contract. For a ten-client agency: DashThis $164, SE Ranking with Agency Pack $172.20 (annual only), DashClicks $199, SocialPilot $200, AgencyAnalytics $250, GoHighLevel $297, Duda $301, Vendasta $499 minimum. None of these produce the client work; AiMarketer Scale covers up to 15 client brands with approvals and white-label reports for $499 a month.
- [PPC budget management software](https://aimarketer.com/blog/ppc-budget-management-software): Budget pacing tools priced from vendor US pages in September 2026: Opteo $129 a month (10 accounts, $25,000 spend), Adalysis $149 (unlimited accounts, $50,000 spend, $126 annually), Optmyzr Essentials $299 ($209 annually) with cross-account and cross-platform pacing on Premium from $389, TrueClicks free under $50,000 spend then $249 at $100,000, Birch budget rules on Pro from $99. NinjaCat publishes no price. Google Ads lets a campaign spend up to twice its average daily budget on a day and caps the month at 30.4 times the daily budget per campaign, so a $10,000 client budget split across four campaigns at $90 a day can reach $10,944 without breaking any rule. As a share of spend at $100,000 a month, Opteo, Adalysis and TrueClicks each cost 0.25 percent.
- [Franchise marketing software and multi-location marketing platforms](https://aimarketer.com/franchise-marketing-software): Five different products are sold as franchise marketing software: local visibility (listings, reviews, local pages: Yext, Birdeye, SOCi, Uberall, Rallio), brand templates (Marq, Papirfly), co-op fund management (BrandMuscle), managed local lead generation (Scorpion, PowerChord) and franchise operations suites (FranConnect).
