Facebook ads agency or an app? Compare both
A Facebook ads agency sets up your ads, designs them and sends you a report. That is also what AdToGrow does. The difference is how you pay, how long you’re tied in, and where your enquiries end up.
Side by side
| A typical agency | AdToGrow | |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay | A monthly fee for the agency’s work, and the ad budget on top. GST is added to the fee. | One price. The ad spend, the design, our work and 18% GST are all inside it. |
| Paying Facebook | Usually from your own card, on an ad account you have to create and keep in order. | We pay Meta from our ad account. You never add a card on Facebook. |
| Commitment | Often a contract for three months or more, with a notice period. | No contract. Buy one plan, see what it brings, and decide again. |
| Ad design | Sometimes included, sometimes billed per creative. | Included. A designer makes it and nothing goes live until you approve it. |
| Your enquiries | Sent on in a spreadsheet, an email or a WhatsApp message, when someone gets to it. | In the app the moment they come in, with a call button and follow-up reminders. |
| Reports | A weekly or monthly PDF. | Live numbers in the app: views, enquiries and how much of the budget is spent. |
| Getting started | A meeting, a proposal, an agreement and an onboarding call. | Download the app, link your Facebook Page and pay. It takes a few minutes. |
Agencies differ, so ask yours about each row. Our side is the same for every customer.
Where the money goes
Take a shop with ₹10,000 a month for advertising. An agency fee can take half of that or more before a single person has seen the ad, and the fee is the same whether the ad works or not.
With AdToGrow, most of what you pay is spent on showing your ad. Our share is inside the price you see, so there is nothing to add up at the end of the month. On the first-time trial we take no fee at all.
When an agency is the better choice
- You spend lakhs a month on ads and need someone testing dozens of versions every week.
- You sell from a website and need the whole thing managed: the site, Google ads, SEO and email.
- You want video shoots, influencer tie-ups or a brand campaign.
If you run a shop, a clinic, a class or a service in one city and want the phone to ring, you don’t need all that. You need a good ad shown to the right localities, and the enquiries in front of you while they’re fresh.
Questions
Is AdToGrow a Facebook ads agency?
It does an agency’s job for a small business: people design your ad, set up the targeting and watch it while it runs. You deal with an app, there is no account manager to chase, and the price is fixed up front.
How much does a Facebook ads agency charge in India?
It varies a lot. Small agencies and freelancers usually quote a monthly fee, and some charge a share of your ad budget. Ask whether the quote includes the ad spend, the design and GST, because most don’t.
Do real people work on my ad, or is it automatic?
Real people. A designer makes the ad from your products, offer and photos, and our team checks the setup before it goes live.
Can I switch from my agency to AdToGrow?
Yes. Your Facebook Page stays yours. Link it in the app, buy a plan, and the new ad runs from the same Page. You don’t have to move any ad account.
What if the ad doesn’t bring enquiries?
Nobody can promise a number, and that includes agencies. Each plan shows an estimate, and you can cancel in the app. Once the ad has run, you get back the unspent ad budget with its GST.
