Comparison

Farcasts vs Motion

Motion reads your ad accounts and hands your team reports and briefs. Farcasts reads your ad accounts, then its agents write the ads and build the pages the ads land on. You approve each draft.

Motion and Farcasts both read your ad accounts and say what to try next. Motion hands your team reports and briefs, and your team does the trying. Farcasts' agents do the trying themselves: the agents write the ads, build the pages, and show you each draft.
The Farcasts agent

Farcasts works on the page too

Motion audits your landing page against the ad's message and returns a list of fixes and an A/B test backlog. Farcasts' agents build those page variants and run the test.

Farcasts writes the ads, not the brief

Motion writes hooks, ad concepts and briefs for your creative team to produce. Farcasts' agents produce the finished image and video ad concepts themselves, criticising each draft first.

Farcasts measures the page against a holdout

Motion reports how your ads and landing pages performed in the accounts it reads. Farcasts keeps a fixed share of visitors on your original page and reports how many more people converted.

Most tools in this market work on the ad or on the page. Farcasts does both, and never touches your code.

Agents that write the ads

Creative Studio drafts image and video ad concepts in your brand voice, and the agents criticise each other's drafts until one is worth showing you.

What the ad did after the click

Farcasts reads your Meta and Google ad accounts without changing anything, and reports what each audience did after the click.

Nobody opens your codebase

Farcasts' agents design new layouts, user journeys and whole pages, and put every one live on your domain. Your engineers never see a ticket for any of it.
