Does MarketRead take a percentage of my ad spend?

No. The fee is a flat £49 a month for one business and there is no code in our billing that reads your ad spend. Your budget goes from your card straight to Meta.

Why is MarketRead Facebook and Instagram only?

It is built around Meta's ad system, and runs the daily decisions (pausing, scaling, replacing tired ads) inside it. If you need Google ads in the same tool, Adyft lists Meta and Google.
