## FAQ

Q: What is the difference between AIAdKing and Scale Insights?
A: Scale Insights is rule-based: you build the automation rules and it executes them. AIAdKing is AI-decision-led — at $29/month its nightly cycle decides bids, negatives, dayparting, and pauses from your data and explains each change clearly, so you do not have to author and maintain rule trees.

Q: Is rule-based or AI-led ads automation better?
A: Rules are predictable but need constant tuning as your account changes. AIAdKing's AI cycle adapts to your latest data and gives a reason for every action, with shadow-mode preview before anything goes live. For sellers who do not want to hand-maintain rules, AIAdKing's AI-led approach is lower effort.

Q: Does AIAdKing automate Amazon PPC like Scale Insights?
A: Yes. AIAdKing adjusts bids, harvests negative keywords, sets dayparting, tunes placements, and pauses weak targets across Sponsored Products, Brands, and Display every night. The difference is that AIAdKing decides with AI and logs a clear reason, rather than only firing rules you configured.

Q: Does AIAdKing charge per ASIN or profile like tiered tools?
A: No. AIAdKing is a flat $29/month regardless of how many ASINs or campaigns you run. Tools priced by ASIN or profile count can get expensive as your catalog grows; verify Scale Insights' current tier structure on their site.

Q: Can I preview AIAdKing automation before it changes my account?
A: Yes. AIAdKing's shadow mode proposes every bid change, negative keyword, and pause without applying it, so you review the full diff and approve what goes live. AIAdKing also bundles listing rewrite, account audit, true profit, and review requests — all in the flat $29/month.

Q: Does Scale Insights do anything AIAdKing does not?
A: Scale Insights offers very granular rule controls that power users like for bespoke automation logic. AIAdKing trades that for an AI that decides and explains, plus non-ads tooling. If you want to hand-craft every rule, verify Scale Insights' current capabilities on their site before deciding.
