Quartile pricing
Quartile does not publish list pricing on its website; quotes come from demos. Industry-reported tier structure for single Amazon seller / one marketplace connections ranges from about $895/month for spend up to $10K to about $9,995/month for $400K–$1M monthly ad spend, with typical minimum ~$3K/month ad spend to onboard. Each additional seller account or marketplace often adds ~$500/month. Non-Amazon channels are custom-scoped. Promotional first-month discounts are negotiated at sale, not coupon-based.

Pros & cons
Pros
- + Human + AI model suits brands spending enough to justify strategic account teams.
- + ASIN- and keyword-level automation deeper than campaign-average bid tools.
- + Proven scale claims ($2B+ annual ad spend managed, 5,300+ brands) signal enterprise maturity.
- + Flat-rate tiers (when quoted) align vendor incentive with growth vs. pure % of spend.
- + Strong Amazon Marketing Stream / AMC positioning for advanced Amazon advertisers.

Cons

- − +$500/marketplace surcharges add up for global Amazon presence.
- − Less control for teams that want hands-on daily toggles vs. managed optimization.
- − Multi-channel packages require custom negotiation beyond single-channel tables.

Is pricing only for Amazon?
Reported flat tiers often assume one Amazon seller and marketplace; Walmart, Google, Meta, and others are added with custom pricing.
Do all tiers get the same software?
