## Meta's own tools

**Ads Manager.** Meta describes it as the tool to create and manage your ads. You can build campaigns, edit many ads at once, and see results at account level with breakdowns and scheduled reports. Learn the basics in [what Meta Ads Manager is](/glossary/ads-manager).

**Meta Business Suite.** Meta says it helps you manage your presence across Facebook, Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp, and that it is free to use on desktop and in its mobile app. You need a business portfolio to use it.

## Paid tools

**AdEspresso.** Starter has unlimited ad accounts and a spend limit of $1,000 a month. Plus has unlimited spend, up to 15 seats, campaign approval, view-only access for clients and white-label reports. Enterprise adds a dedicated consultant and API access. All plans list split-test analysis and tag-based reports. See [AdEspresso alternatives](/alternatives/adespresso-alternatives).

**Birch.** Essential includes workspaces, post boosting, reports and a Slack link. Pro adds automated rules, an explorer, a launcher and custom metrics. Price follows monthly ad spend across all connected accounts, and Birch bills an extra fee if you pass your tier.

**Madgicx.** An AI platform for Meta ads with an AI Marketer that audits your account and suggests next steps. The pricing page shows a spend selector from under $1K to $30K+ and says to see the price inside the app.

## A worked example

Say you spend INR 1,50,000 a month on Meta ads, and $1 is INR 85. That is about $1,765 a month. AdEspresso Starter caps spend at $1,000, so it is too small. You need Plus at $99, which is INR 8,415 a month. That is 5.6% of your ad spend, before any other tool.

Plus also lists up to 15 seats and view-only access for clients, which suits a small agency. Check how it keeps one client's data apart from another's before you commit.

## How to choose

1. Count accounts, clients and seats.
2. Price each tool at your real monthly spend.
3. Test on one account for a trial period.
4. Check approvals. Who can change a live budget?

We make Marxx. It reads your connected Meta ad account in full, runs an account audit and sends alerts and digests. Agencies get client-isolated workspaces, priced per workspace with unlimited seats, and it publishes campaigns, ad sets and ads to Meta. See [client workspaces](/features/client-workspaces).

## FAQ

### What is the best tool to manage Facebook ads?

Meta Ads Manager, because every ad lives there. Third-party tools sit on top for approvals, rules and reports.

### Is Meta Business Suite free?

Yes. Meta's help page says it is free to use on desktop and in the mobile app.

### Do I need a paid tool to manage Facebook ads?

Not at first. Ads Manager covers creating, editing and reporting. A paid tool helps when you manage many accounts or need client approvals.
