How much does BrandBastion cost?

BrandBastion publishes no pricing — its plans page lists three tiers (Reputation+, Agent+, Engage+) and every plan routes to a demo booking (brandbastion.com/plans, as of July 2026), so request a quote from them. 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 BrandBastion?

BrandBastion is an enterprise platform-plus-service: customizable AI with managed, human-in-the-loop moderation and even fully managed replies, across five networks and multiple engagement surfaces (brandbastion.com, 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.

Which should a small advertiser choose?

If you are a lean team running Meta ads and want to start today at a published price, ROAS Shield is built for exactly that (7-day self-serve trial). If you are an enterprise brand that wants a managed service handling engagement across many networks 24/7, BrandBastion is built for you.

Where they win

Where BrandBastion is the better fit

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

Managed service, not just software

BrandBastion’s top tier is an outsourced engagement team: 24/7 human-reviewed moderation, brand-voice responses, and escalations handled for you, per its own plans page. If you want to hand the comment section to a service, that is a different — and for large brands, often better — model than self-serve software.

Breadth across engagement surfaces

BrandBastion spans comments, DMs, mentions, reviews, and social listening across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X, with crisis alerts. We are deliberately narrow: paid Meta ad comments.

Enterprise track record

BrandBastion cites Fortune 1000 customers including major consumer brands on its site. For procurement-led enterprise buyers it carries references we, as a newer entrant, do not.

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.

Run the numbers on your own ad spend

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

Whichever tool you choose, the question worth answering first is what spam and unanswered buyer comments are actually costing you — the Revenue Leak Calculator turns your Meta spend into a monthly dollar figure so the comparison is grounded in numbers, not vibes.
