Every tool promises AI for marketing. The difference is what happens between the question and the answer. Here's the data on how the options stack up — time, cost, context, and risk.
The honest comparison. We're not trying to replace Claude or ChatGPT — they're excellent for general work. But this isn't general work.

Direct cost is only part of it. The real question is what your senior team's time is worth — and how much of it gets reclaimed.
Three patterns we see in the call. If any of these sound like your team, we're probably the right fit.
You spend $50K–$500K/month across Meta and Google. By the time someone notices a CAC jump in the Friday WBR, you've already burned a week of budget. Grayn catches it within minutes.
Your best data person is the bottleneck. Every Slack question becomes a CSV export. They're underused as an analyst and overused as a query engine. Grayn handles the queries so they can do real work.
You're scaling past $100K/month in paid spend. The next logical hire is a Growth Ops or RevOps lead. Grayn is the system that comes before that hire — or makes them 10× more effective when they arrive.
The decisions get made in #growth, not in Looker. Pulling numbers into the thread is a manual job today. Grayn closes that gap so the data shows up where the conversation already is.
A quick call is enough to see Grayn running on your live data. No credit card. No deck. Just your Slack and your ad accounts.
