PaidStarter ($29/month): 25,000 words/month, 1 user, 50+ content templates, basic brand voice. Growth ($59/month): 80,000 words/month, 3 users, advanced brand voice training, bulk generation, Shopify integration. Enterprise: custom pricing with API access, unlimited words, dedicated customer success, SSO, and custom integrations for PIM/DAM systems.
CustomLily AI uses a fully custom pricing model — there is no published rate card. Pricing is scoped around three variables: catalog size (number of SKUs), selected use cases, and number of markets or regions. Use cases that can be individually selected and priced include Google Shopping attribute generation, Meta catalog ads copy, SEO/AEO metadata, conversational commerce attributes, item setup and classification, and consumer product copy.
Cost per SKU generally improves as volume grows, since fixed setup costs spread across more items. More complex outputs (conversational descriptions) cost more per SKU than structured attribute sets. Localizing into additional markets adds processing cost on top of the base catalog price.
All plans include catalog ingestion and scoring, agentic enrichment of the highest-impact gaps, matched-spend A/B testing, and reporting with confidence intervals. Higher tiers add more channels, optimization cadence, support, and governance features. To get an exact quote, teams can use the pricing estimator on lily.ai/pricing or book a demo. A free 30-day pilot on 500 products is available — it includes catalog gap scoring and measured lift against a control before any broader commitment.

Cons
- Less known than Jasper or Copy.ai — smaller community, fewer tutorials, and integrations

Lily AI Pros & Cons
Pros
- Tested, not promised — every result is measured against a matched-spend control with confidence intervals, so lift claims hold up to CFO scrutiny
- Broad surface coverage — one enrichment layer improves Google Ads, Meta Ads, AI discovery (ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Overviews), and onsite search simultaneously
- Proven enterprise results — +28% Google Shopping revenue lift, +21.4% Meta ROAS lift, +28.3% onsite revenue lift from real customer A/B tests
- 4.9/5 on G2 — the highest-rated product in its category with reviews from performance marketing and e-commerce teams
- No replatforming required — Lily Max improves data quality inside existing feed managers and commerce stacks without replacing anything
- Female-led, founder-run company — Purva Gupta named EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2024 Bay Area finalist; $63.9M raised from Canaan, NEA, Conductive Ventures
Cons
- Custom pricing only — no public rate card; teams must go through a sales/demo process to get a quote, which adds procurement friction
- Primarily a B2B enterprise SaaS platform — not suited for small DTC brands or Shopify merchants without a significant SKU catalog
- Focused on product data enrichment rather than end-to-end campaign management — teams still need existing feed managers and ad platforms
- Results depend heavily on starting catalog quality — brands with very thin or poorly structured product data may need significant data preparation before seeing lift
- No self-serve free tier — the free offering is a scoped 30-day pilot on 500 products, requiring a demo call first
- Smaller team (~34-94 employees) than enterprise martech competitors like Salesforce or Adobe — limited regional support capacity
