Pricing
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.
CustomBloomreach publishes no public numerical pricing; every product page directs visitors to "Request Pricing," and quotes require a sales conversation. The platform uses a module-fee-plus-usage-fee structure billed annually, with three product pillars (Discovery, Content, Engagement) priced independently or bundled, plus three positioning tiers referenced in third-party analysis: Autonomous Marketing, Autonomous Search, and Conversational Shopping. Loomi AI is included at no extra charge across all plans. Based on third-party cost analysis of disclosed customer contracts, realistic annual spend typically ranges from approximately $19,000 for smaller mid-market deployments up to $250,000 or more for large enterprise contracts, driven primarily by processed event volume (Monthly Processed Events), monthly unique visitors, communication volume (email/SMS sends), and catalog size. Multi-year contracts generally unlock better per-unit rates than annual agreements. There is no permanent free plan, though limited free trials may be arranged through the sales team.

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
Bloomreach Pros & Cons
Pros
- Loomi's agentic architecture unifies personalization across search, email, ads, and conversational shopping from one data layer
- Commerce-specific AI trained on 350M+ transactions delivers sub-second search and recommendation responses
- Genuinely unifies CDP, marketing automation, and ecommerce search under one platform rather than three separate tools
- Strong disclosed customer outcomes, including a reported 251% three-year ROI in commissioned studies
- High customer retention, with a reported 99% renewal rate among its 1,400+ enterprise brand customers
Cons
- Zero public pricing; every plan requires a sales conversation, making it hard to budget upfront
- Realistic total cost typically runs $19K-$250K+/year, putting it out of reach for small and mid-size merchants
- Users on G2 and AWS Marketplace describe a steep learning curve and an unintuitive interface for complex workflows
- Some customers report short-notice price increases at renewal and underestimated event-processing costs during initial negotiations
- Out-of-the-box dashboards and reports are considered fairly basic when custom KPIs or complex formulas are needed
