The closest Adstellar alternatives are Ryze and Markifact, which also act on your ads but ask you to approve changes, plus Madgicx for Meta-focused AI with Launch buttons. Runneth suits bigger budgets that want analysis first, and Birch suits fixed rules.

## What Adstellar does well

Adstellar combines AI ad creation, a Meta launcher and an "AI media buyer" agent. The agent "pauses waste, scales winners, and adjusts budgets", and you can reach it in Slack threads and mentions. Its plan is $100 a month plus $2 per 1,000 AI credits, billed monthly with no annual contract. One plan covers unlimited workspaces, team members and ad accounts (checked 6 Nov 2026).

People look elsewhere when they want to approve each change first, need platforms beyond Meta, or want reporting rather than an agent that acts.

## Quick comparison

## Ryze

Ryze is an AI marketer for Google, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn. In Slack, recommendations arrive with Approve and Dismiss buttons, and "hit Approve in Slack, and the change goes live". It also runs audits and scheduled reports. Paid Ads is $89 a month, with a 7-day trial. Its Slack page says "Get early access". Read [Runneth vs Ryze](/compare/runneth-vs-ryze) for more.

## Markifact

Markifact automates marketing across 14 ad platforms, including Meta, Google Ads and TikTok. Its agent works in Markifact, Slack or WhatsApp, and its promise is "Nothing goes live without you". The pro plan is $79 a month. It runs separate agents for every client, which helps agencies.

## Madgicx

Madgicx is a Meta-focused AI ads platform. Its AI Marketer comes with Launch buttons. We found no Slack feature on its site. Price is shown inside the app, and there is a 7-day free trial. See [Madgicx compared](/compare/madgicx).

## Runneth

Runneth is the AI teammate from the team behind Motion, for Meta and TikTok. It reads by default and launches only once an owner or admin allows it. It runs on its own always-on cloud computer with a shared brain of your team's context. Starter starts at $999 a month for up to $50k of monthly ad spend. Read [Runneth alternatives](/alternatives/runneth-alternatives) for the full family.

## Birch

Birch, formerly Revealbot, runs automation rules on Meta, Google, Snapchat and TikTok, with "20+ actions, checked every 15 minutes". It does exactly what your rule says. Essential is $49 a month and Pro $99, with Slack on both and a 14-day trial.

## Marxx

We make Marxx. It does not launch or tune ads from Slack. Each client's channel gets new Meta leads, alerts and competitor ads, and @Marxx answers from Meta and Google Ads results. See [Marxx in Slack](/features/slack).

## How to choose

Start with how much you want the software to do on its own.

1. **It should act on its own:** Adstellar, or Birch rules.
2. **It should act after my yes:** Ryze or Markifact.
3. **It should mostly read and advise:** Runneth, or a reporting tool.

Then check platforms. Say you spend INR 3,00,000 a month, with INR 2,00,000 on Meta and INR 1,00,000 on Google. A Meta-only agent leaves a third of your budget outside its view. Ryze, Markifact and Birch cover both.

Finally, price it as a year. Adstellar's plan is 12 x $100 = $1,200 before credits. Ryze Paid Ads is 12 x $89 = $1,068. For more agents, see the [best AI agents for advertising](/best/best-ai-agents-for-advertising).
