In order to even see Smartly’s product, you need to schedule meetings with enterprise salespeople. In order to use it, you need to sign a long-term contract.

Although Smartly can be powerful, even their own salespeople don’t know how to demo it (you’ll need to schedule a seperate meeting with an engineer for that), and it takes a lot of bandwidth and training for your team to try to figure out how to use it.

User-friendly software doesn’t need to hide. With Marpipe, you can play with our platform on your own for free without scheduling any meetings or being sold to.

Smartly is great if you’re looking for a company that will manage your ad spend, allocate budgets for you and where you interface mainly with people instead of a user-interface.

Marpipe is much more specialized for catalog ads (and DPA) and much less expensive.

Smartly leans towards other formats, like regular video and static creative, and it focused primarily on media buying capabilities. At Marpipe, we leave the media buying to you.

Before signing with Smartly, chat with us first, because we probably have everything you need for dynamic product ads at a fraction of the cost.
