Ad Testing for Ecommerce Brands

Every DTC media plan has a silent line item: the spend that taught the algorithm your creative was weak. Pre-testing moves that lesson out of your ad account and into a $2 report that arrives before the campaign does.


Stop paying the algorithm to find weak creative

Meta and TikTok will eventually stop serving a weak ad — after charging you for the discovery. The pattern behind it is almost always the same: attention dies early, before the product or offer ever lands. AdCortex™, trained on fMRI brain-response data, flags that in minutes: Hook Strength for the first three seconds, the exact drop-off second, and a percentile against 76 top-performing TikTok ads. Weak cuts die free, in review.

The screen in action: three cuts of the same offer scored in minutes for $0 in media — the strongest gets the budget, the weakest never spends a dollar.

Make A/B testing cheaper by feeding it winners

Pre-testing doesn't replace A/B testing — it stops you paying live-traffic prices to eliminate obvious losers. Screen ten variants for ~$20, put the top two or three into the account, and your split tests reach significance faster on less spend. For small budgets, that's often the difference between a real testing program and guessing.

Built for ecommerce creative volume

UGC batches, unboxings, discount ads, AI-generated variants, seasonal refreshes — ecommerce creative comes in streams, not campaigns. Per-test pricing matches that: score everything, keep a swipe file of what your niche's winners share, and use the peak-frame output as your thumbnail. If you're dropshipping, the same screen sorts supplier-page creative from scroll-stoppers before you spend a cent proving it.

Vet creators before you hire them

Buying UGC? Score a creator's past ads before committing to a package — compare candidates on attention data instead of follower counts, and brief the winner around what the benchmark says holds viewers in your category.

What it costs

Up to 8 free credits after phone verification — no card, nothing to cancel. Then $49/month for 20 tests, up to $399/month for 250 at agency volume, packs from $45. The comparison that matters isn't against other tools — it's against the cost of the untested ad that runs for a week before the dashboard confesses.

Frequently asked questions

How does pre-testing improve ROAS?

Most wasted spend goes to creative that never held attention — the algorithm needs days and dollars to discover what a pre-test flags in minutes. Screening every ad before launch means media budget concentrates on creative that already passed the attention gate.

Is this a replacement for A/B testing my ads?

It's the filter before it. A/B tests spend real money per variant; pre-testing kills the obvious losers for $2 each so your live tests only compare credible contenders. Fewer variants in-flight, faster significance, less burned budget.

What does it cost for a small DTC brand?

Up to 8 free credits (no card). Then $49/month for 20 tests or credit packs from $45 for 10 — screening a month of creative typically costs less than one day of a bad ad's spend.
