How much does Arwen AI cost?

Arwen publishes no price points — its site says pricing depends on follower count, number of social profiles, and number of social ads in market, and all three tiers (Foundation, Scale, Enterprise) route to a demo (arwen.ai/plans, as of July 2026). ROAS Shield publishes transparent volume tiers: £19/mo for 10,000 comments up to £199/mo for 500,000.

What is the difference between ROAS Shield and Arwen AI?

Arwen is an enterprise, five-network comment platform (paid + organic) with threat detection and escalation for high-scrutiny brands (arwen.ai, as of July 2026). ROAS Shield is self-serve software focused on paid Meta ad comments, with campaign / ad-set / ad context on every comment and published volume pricing.

Which is better for Instagram ad comment moderation?

Both moderate Instagram comments, including on ads. Arwen frames its strength as cross-network coverage, enterprise governance, and human oversight (arwen.ai/platform, as of July 2026). ROAS Shield is built only for paid Meta ads, so it foregrounds which campaign and ad each comment sits on and prices by comment volume. Lean paid-social teams tend to want the latter; large, high-scrutiny organisations the former.

Where they win

Where Arwen AI is the better fit

We are not the right tool for everyone. If any of the below applies to your team, Arwen AI might serve you better than we will.

Built for high-scrutiny organisations

Arwen’s Enterprise tier targets organisations "operating at scale, under scrutiny, or in high-risk environments", with threat detection, escalation, and investigation support, per its own site — clients named include major consumer and sports brands. That protective layer goes beyond what we build.

Cross-network coverage including X and YouTube

Arwen moderates Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, and YouTube across paid and organic, with Reddit on its public roadmap. We are Meta-ads-only in v1.

Human oversight at enterprise scale

Arwen pairs its AI stack with human judgement — "Automation handles scale. Humans retain judgement.", per its own platform page — a governance posture that suits regulated or high-profile organisations.

Our wedge

Where we believe ROAS Shield wins

Ad-first by design

Every comment in the inbox shows campaign, ad set, and ad context. You can filter by campaign, see which ads attract spam, and tune rules per-ad. Generic comment moderators do not foreground which ad a comment is on.

Volume pricing for paid-ads teams

Our Scale tier is £199 per month for up to 500,000 comments. Predictable, volume-based pricing for high-spend advertisers — not per-seat.

Honest UI on the rough edges

When we cannot map a comment back to its ad, we say so and surface a manual-mapping action — including an inverse creative lookup. We do not paper over Meta API gaps with confident-looking UI.

Closed loops, not just moderation

Storm alerts and buyer-intent leads reach you in Slack or Microsoft Teams the moment they happen. Won leads roll up into an influenced-revenue figure on the dashboard and the weekly digest, and a read-only REST API pulls your comments and leads into your own reporting — detection through to proof, end to end.

Pricing scales with comment volume, not seats. Start a 7-day trial without a card.
