Koast vs. Ads Uploader
Agency automation platform vs focused bulk upload tool
Koast and Ads Uploader both launch Meta ads in bulk. Koast wraps launching in a wider operating layer for ad teams: AI agents, stop-losses, a cross-account portfolio view and a creative pipeline. Ads Uploader focuses on getting large launches built and live fast.
Koast pricing (checked September 2026): the Growth plan is $499/month plus a one-time setup fee, billed month-to-month, with up to 10 ad accounts, unlimited teammate seats and unlimited launching. Enterprise is custom, on an annual agreement, with unlimited ad accounts. Growth comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
Ads Uploader is $59/month ($44/month billed annually) for one user with unlimited ad accounts and uploads, and Team plans are priced per seat. There is no setup fee, and you can start a 7-day trial without a card.
