Where they win
Where Statusbrew is the better fit
We are not the right tool for everyone. If any of the below applies to your team, Statusbrew might serve you better than we will.
Deep rule-based automation
Statusbrew offers an extensive automation library (dozens of automations) and one-click auto-hide across many surfaces. Power users who want maximal rule flexibility may prefer it.
All-in-one social management
Statusbrew bundles publishing, inbox, and reporting alongside moderation. If you want one suite for your whole social workflow, it covers more than ad comments.
Per-campaign moderation maturity
Statusbrew already supports per-campaign and per-ad moderation rules, which overlaps with our ad-level approach.
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.
