Instant AI insights vs monthly agency reports. Which model delivers more value for your budget?
Hiring a PPC agency means outsourcing your Google Ads management to specialists. You get expertise and time savings — but often at the cost of transparency, control, and significant monthly fees. AdPredictor offers a different model: AI-powered intelligence that gives you the expertise without the middleman. Here's the comprehensive comparison.

PPC agency fees typically range from €500-3,000/month depending on ad spend, complexity, and agency tier. Most charge a management fee plus a percentage of ad spend.

A good PPC agency brings genuine value: strategic thinking, creative production, multi-channel expertise, and hands-on campaign management. If you're spending €10,000+/month across multiple channels and need someone to actively manage campaigns, an agency can be the right investment.
But most businesses spending €500-5,000/month don't get agency-level attention. They get a junior account manager, monthly PDF reports, and limited strategic input. For these businesses, AdPredictor delivers more: AI insights, anomaly detection, wasted spend analysis, and complete transparency, all for a one-time €29 audit.
The strongest approach for many teams: use AdPredictor as your primary intelligence layer, and only bring in an agency for specific projects (campaign restructuring, new market entry, creative production) where their hands-on expertise adds clear value.
