Bottom line

Lara is an autonomous agent built for small online sellers in Southeast Asia, many of them selling on marketplaces like Shopee, who do not want to learn Ads Manager at all. It creates the ads, picks the audiences, runs them around the clock and reports to you over WhatsApp. That is a clear proposition for someone who wants the whole job taken away. It is also Meta-only, regional in focus, and it does not publish a price. AdFire takes the opposite stance: it explains what it found and why, and you approve the change. You keep control, you get Google as well as Meta, and you can see the price before you talk to anyone.
