Most agencies will not tell you what they cost until the third sales call. Ryze AI puts the numbers on one page: $89/month for Paid Ads Autopilot, $129/month for SEO Autopilot, $599/month for Traffic Printer, and $1,499/month for Ecom Autopilot. All are flat fees that do not scale with ad spend.
I spent most of a decade managing Google Ads by hand for ecommerce shops and local services. That meant mining search terms at 1am and watching good accounts break because nobody touched them for three weeks. I used to tell clients a cheap tool plus a few hours of my time was enough. I was wrong.
The fee was never the real price. The real price was the work that still needed a human. That is the lens I use to read Ryze’s pricing.
According to Ryze’s pricing page, every plan connects to ad accounts, Shopify, GA4, and Search Console. It audits continuously, then makes changes instead of sending a PDF explaining what you should do. You pay a flat software fee; media spend stays separate and goes directly to Google, Meta, TikTok, and the other platforms.
| Plan | Monthly price | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Paid Ads Autopilot | $89/mo | Paid-ad execution |
| SEO Autopilot | $129/mo | Ongoing SEO execution |
| Traffic Printer | $599/mo | SEO execution plus strategy and production |
| Ecom Autopilot | $1,499/mo | Paid, SEO, GEO, and CRO for Shopify and DTC |
Here is what the plans list:
The important distinction is simple: the lower tiers automate execution; the higher tiers add strategic ownership and production.
I read pricing pages the way I used to read search-term reports: I look for the work the plan still leaves on my desk.
Ryze’s pitch is that its software makes the change, not just the suggestion. On Paid Ads Autopilot, that means bid shifts, campaign-budget moves, pause decisions on losers, and creative rotation can happen without waiting for a Thursday account review. Reporting lands in Slack or Teams instead of a 20-slide deck.
That execution cadence matters because neglected accounts leak money between reviews. Most wasted spend I saw came from accounts that were set up fine, then left alone for 19 days.
SEO Autopilot uses the same model at a slower pace. It watches Search Console, technical health, and rankings; ships fixes to titles, schema, and internal structure; and publishes content aimed at Google and answer engines such as ChatGPT and Perplexity.
Traffic Printer and Ecom Autopilot add the two things software alone rarely covers: a person who owns the roadmap and people who produce the work. That means content written and placed, links earned, and landing pages and Shopify templates edited.
If you buy the $89 or $129 tier, you are buying continuous execution. If you buy the $599 or $1,499 tier, you are buying continuous execution plus creative work you were probably not going to ship yourself.
The flat fee is the software fee. Ryze does not take a percentage of spend, which beats the agency math I saw for years: $1,500 base plus 10% once you clear $15k a month. Media spend stays separate and goes directly to the platforms. That part is normal. It should stay that way.
The surprise costs are not line items. They are the tasks lower tiers leave on your plate.
With Paid Ads Autopilot at $89 and SEO Autopilot at $129, you still supply the raw material:
Traffic Printer and Ecom Autopilot fold production and links into the fee. That is why they cost five to 15 times more.
Pick the tier based on the work you will stop doing, not the feature list.
Say you spend $20k/month. A traditional shop charging $1,500 base plus 10% of spend bills $3,500 every month before anyone touches a keyword. Ryze Paid Ads Autopilot bills $89 for that same account, with bids and budgets moving daily instead of at a monthly review.
The mechanism is frequency. Software sees a junk search term on Tuesday morning and cuts it on Tuesday morning. A human team sees it in a report three weeks later, after the money is gone.
That math holds only if you buy execution, not advice. I used to sell clients a $400 tool plus a few hours of my time and call it management. Most months, those hours went to reporting and small tweaks.
Ryze is worth it when it replaces that retainer entirely. It is not worth it when you still pay someone else to approve every change.
Compare the fee with the payroll and agency hours it removes, not with other software subscriptions.
Ryze fits the advertiser I used to manage most often: the $5k-to-$30k-per-month Shopify or local-services account that needs daily bid, budget, and creative work without a $3,000 retainer.
This will not work for everyone. Skip it if you have no one to approve offers and no tracking beyond the form fill. Daily execution still optimizes toward the wrong number when the underlying signal is wrong.
You outgrow it when the account stops being a media problem and becomes a revenue problem. Think B2B and SaaS with 90-day cycles, multi-location groups, or $50k-plus spend, where one wrong bid rule burns four figures overnight.
At that point, you need optimization toward SQLs and closed-won revenue, landing pages that reshape around each search, and someone who answers for pipeline.
Use Ryze while the job is keeping spend efficient. Move on when the job is turning spend into attributable revenue.
If Ryze is continuous software with a strategist added on the top tiers, groas is built from the other direction. It is a fully autonomous growth engine for paid and organic search: specialized models handle bids, budgets, keywords, ads, and landing pages around the clock, while a named strategist owns direction and results.
The difference I care about is scope after the click. Ryze moves spend. groas also rewrites landing pages around the search, fixes tracking to SQLs and closed-won revenue, and logs every action with its reason attached.
For a $5k Shopify account, that is overkill. For a B2B team where one demo is worth $8k, optimizing for revenue instead of form fills is the whole job.
You can apply for a free trial and see the audit before paying anything.
Ryze lists $89/mo for Paid Ads Autopilot, $129/mo for SEO Autopilot, $599/mo for Traffic Printer, and $1,499/mo for Ecom Autopilot. It also lists 5% off quarterly billing, 10% off twice-yearly billing, and 20% off annual billing. Media spend is separate and paid directly to the platforms.
No. You pay the same flat software fee whether you spend $5k or $50k.
Paid plans list a 7-day free trial, month-to-month billing, and a money-back guarantee. Start monthly. Prove CPA moves. Commit annually only if the action log shows work you would otherwise pay a human to do.
If you want daily execution without a retainer, start with the $89 tier and check one thing after 30 days: Did cost per acquisition fall because waste was cut faster than you used to cut it?
If yes, keep it. If your problem is pipeline, closed-won revenue, and landing pages that match each search, compare a fully managed option such as groas before you renew.
