Free, no card, 60-second setup

Positioning

Lodwave — quantified decisions + RAG

The expert e-commerce AI agent. Reads your margin, break-even ROAS and catalog, and ships actionable decisions (scale, kill, iterate) in French, English and Spanish.

Why Lodwave as a complement (or replacement)

  • Creative brief + scoring + Meta audit in the same conversation
  • 5 awareness levels (unaware → most aware) applied automatically
  • Computes break-even & target ROAS from your margin — Motion doesn't

Motion — Ad creative production tool — workflows for agencies and brand creative teams.

From $99/mo

Where Motion shines

  • Solid creative workflows (briefs, drafts, approvals)
  • Clean Meta creative reporting
  • Strong for structured creative teams

Where Motion falls short

  • No performance analytics outside creative (margin ROAS, BE, etc.)
  • No decision-level recommendations (just reporting)
  • Creative-only — you still need another tool for ad sets, audits, scaling

Real scenarios

3 situations, 2 tools, 2 outcomes.

How each tool reacts to the same calls an ecom operator makes every week.

Scenario 1

You brief 5 UGC creators for a wellness product

With Motion

Motion runs the workflow (brief → draft → approval), but the brief content comes from you.

With Lodwave

Lodwave generates the 5 briefs (PAS, AIDA, problem-aware…), with 3 hooks per awareness level.

Scenario 2

A creative scales — you want to understand why

With Motion

Motion shows you the numbers (CTR, hook rate, hold rate).

With Lodwave

Lodwave interprets the numbers, names the working angle ("problem-aware with social proof") and proposes 4 iterations.

Scenario 3

You want to know whether to kill creative A

With Motion

Motion shows pixel ROAS. You cross-check with your margin yourself.

With Lodwave

Lodwave cross-checks ROAS × margin × volume, returns a "kill day 4" verdict and 2 angles to test as replacements.
