The verdict

BidX wins, 6.9 to 5.9

AdScale sells self-serve Google and Meta campaigns from $169 a month, scaling with ad spend, with a 14 day trial and no minimum term. BidX runs ads on Amazon, including Amazon DSP, and adds dayparting, a rule builder and automatic negative keyword exclusion that AdScale lacks. BidX also requires an annual commitment and skips the trial for a paid proof of concept, while AdScale generates the ad creative itself, which BidX does not.

Pick AdScale if you advertise on Google and Meta and want a 14 day trial.

Pick BidX if you sell on Amazon and need DSP, dayparting and rule based bidding.
