Where they win
Where CommentGuard is the better fit
We are not the right tool for everyone. If any of the below applies to your team, CommentGuard might serve you better than we will.
Generic Page community management
CommentGuard supports broader Page-comment workflows not focused on paid ads. If most of your moderation is on organic posts rather than ad creatives, it may fit your team better.
Longer Meta App Review track record
CommentGuard has been through Meta App Review more times than we have. We are a newer, ads-focused entrant and will earn that track record over time.
Enterprise-tier custom contracts
For very large agencies wanting bespoke MSAs, custom DPAs, and named TAMs, CommentGuard offers an enterprise track we have not built yet.
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.
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.
