Comparison
Palitra vs ChatGPT and Claude for running your ads
ChatGPT and Claude are strong general-purpose assistants. Palitra is built for running advertising: shared team context, its own data store, workflows and change approvals.
When to choose ChatGPT and Claude
- You need a general assistant for writing, code and documents, not just advertising
- You work solo and analyze small exports by hand
- You don't need approval-gated workflows or cross-channel analytics yet
When to choose Palitra
- Your team needs shared context across clients and projects
- You need cross-channel analytics and attribution
- Recurring work should follow fixed steps, with your approval before changes go live
- Your agency's data across dozens of clients doesn't fit in a chat context

Key differences
Data, not exports
Palitra keeps ad account and analytics data in its own store and refreshes it on every sync. Queries run across all clients at once, with no files to upload into a chat.
One context for the whole team
Shared chats and per-client projects: a teammate picks up where you left off. Access rights are set by role.
Control built into the system
Limits on bid and budget changes, approvals in Slack, Telegram or email, and a log of every action work without relying on team conventions.
Pay per company, not per seat
One subscription, unlimited users. Tokens are included in the subscription, with top-ups available.
