Bïrch: Buy vs Skip (Multi-Platform Ad Automation for Agency Portfolios)
IF your agency runs 5+ active client accounts or manages clients spending $10K+/month across Meta, Google, TikTok, Snapchat, or Instagram, THEN start on Bïrch Pro at $99/mo ($91 annual) because automated rules, the Launcher, Explorer, and custom metrics are gated behind that tier, not Essential at $49/mo ($45 annual). IF spend per client climbs well past the $10K calculator threshold or creative refresh volume is high, THEN model the Hub tier's event-based pricing before signing, since overages scale with volume rather than seats.

Bïrch: Buy vs Skip (Multi-Platform Ad Automation for Agency Portfolios)
“IF your agency runs 5+ active client accounts or manages clients spending $10K+/month across Meta, Google, TikTok, Snapchat, or Instagram, THEN start on Bïrch Pro at $99/mo ($91 annual) because automated rules, the Launcher, Explorer, and custom metrics are gated behind that tier, not Essential at $49/mo ($45 annual). IF spend per client climbs well past the $10K calculator threshold or creative refresh volume is high, THEN model the Hub tier's event-based pricing before signing, since overages scale with volume rather than seats.”
- Agency manages high-volume campaigns for e-commerce, DTC, or performance clients where nested rules with multiple actions replace hours of manual budget pacing and ad pausing
- Portfolio spans three or more of Meta, Google, TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram, so one workspace with Overview and Activity pages beats juggling native dashboards
- Client reporting already runs through Slack, Google Sheets, AppsFlyer, or Hyros, matching Bïrch's native integrations and cutting report assembly time
- Creative fatigue is a recurring client complaint and Top Ads / Fatigued Ads insights give account managers a defensible refresh trigger
- The agency wants to resell automation as a managed retainer, which the $670/mo Bïrch Local Ad Starter offer demonstrates is packageable at roughly 8h setup plus 4h/mo effort
- Client base is small or low-spend, since the Essential tier at $49/mo caps at the $10K monthly ad spend estimate and withholds automated rules and strategies
- Agency work is concentrated on a single ad platform, where native campaign tools cover pacing without paying for multi-platform orchestration
- Accounts run heavy creative refresh or high event volume, because Hub tier pricing scales with events and can produce overages that erode retainer margin
- The team needs programmatic, DSP, or header bidding execution rather than social and search campaign automation, a gap Bïrch does not fill
- No one on the delivery team will own rule logic, as nested conditions and custom metrics require setup discipline that an unstaffed workspace will not maintain
