Pricing
Flat monthly fee. No percentage of your ad spend.
The price is on this page because you should not have to book a call to find out what something costs. Month to month, no minimum spend, no onboarding fee, no contract.
Audit
Anyone who wants a second opinion
- Written read on your account
- Biggest wasted spend by search term, with dollar figures
- Your campaigns ranked by what they return
- The three changes I would make first
- A monthly refresh if you want to stay in touch
- No account access beyond read only
Turnaround about one business day. Take the list and run it yourself if you like.
Advisory
You want the list. You will apply it yourself.
- Weekly action report with exact dollar amounts
- Breakeven return on ad spend computed per product
- Negative keyword recommendations with a converter shield
- Budget and bid recommendations per campaign
- Contribution profit per product per week
- CSV you can work straight from
- Read only access. I never write to your account.
The tier for anyone not ready to hand over write access. The full engine runs, it just stops short of touching anything.

What that is as a share of your ad spend
The number that matters is not the fee, it is the fee as a percentage of what you are already spending. Competitor prices checked 2026-09-11 from published vendor pages.
At $10,000 of monthly ad spend, Advisory is 3.5% and Managed is 6.0%. Ad Badger's managed service is 17.8% at that spend, and it will not take the account at all under roughly $19,000 a month.
The percentage matters more than the fee, and it is the number every vendor that charges a share of your spend would rather you did not work out.

Everything above Managed on that list either takes a cut of your spend or has a minimum that rules out most accounts under $20,000 a month. Everything below it is software you operate yourself. I am the only line on the table that runs your account for a flat fee with no minimum.
I am not the cheapest. If price per feature is what you are optimising, buy software and run it yourself. That is a real answer and I will tell you so on the call.
The terms, in one place
Billing
Monthly in advance, first of the month, prorated for a mid month start. Invoice by email. You pay Amazon for your ad spend directly from your own payment method and I never touch it.
Notice
Month to month. Cancel by email with 30 days notice. No termination fee, no clawback, no minimum term. I will not pretend a narrow cancellation window is a feature.
What stays yours
Your Amazon accounts, campaigns, keyword history and performance data are yours during the engagement and after it. On the way out you get your full change log and I remove my access. Nothing is held hostage.
Moving tiers
Advisory to Managed is one configuration change and the recommendations you were already getting start being applied. Up or down, effective the next billing cycle, no penalty either way.
Spend bands
The band is based on your trailing three month average ad spend. If you cross the $12,000 line I will tell you before I change the invoice, not after.
Liability
Capped at the fees you paid in the prior three months, with no guarantee of advertising results. The full language is in the terms of service.
Try the audit before you decide anything
It is free, it takes you twenty minutes to hand over, and it will tell you more about whether we should work together than any sales call would.
