Farbi, Madgicx, or doing it by hand

Three ways to get ad creatives ready for a platform, and each is the right one for somebody. This page says where, using what the other vendor publishes about itself and what Farbi does today.

The short version

Pick Madgicx if

  • Your ads run mostly on Meta and you want one tool to launch and tune them there.
  • You want automation rules and a daily account audit more than control of the creative itself.
  • You value a Meta integration that has been live for years and a name your peers already know.
Compare in detail

Pick doing it by hand if

  • You run a handful of creatives on one platform.
  • A designer already makes what you need and one person approves it.
  • A new tool would cost you more time than it saves.

Pick Farbi if

  • The creative has to look like your product and follow your brand, not just resemble the category.
  • More than one person, or a client, has to approve a creative before it goes anywhere.
  • You work on several brands or platforms and want one creative to keep one history.

Farbi and Madgicx

Madgicx is built around launching and optimising campaigns on Meta, and it includes a creative generator. Farbi is built around the creative and the decision to approve it.

Farbi compared with Madgicx
AspectMadgicxFarbi
What it is built aroundLaunching and optimising campaigns on Meta. Google is covered in part.The creative itself: making variants from your references, checking them and getting them approved.
Where the creative comes fromAn image-ad generator that starts from a product photo or from an ad in the Meta Ad Library.Variants made from your own reference images and from presets trained on your own visuals. Pro takes up to 6 references per request.
Checking the resultWe found no description of a check of generated images against your product or brand in its public product information.Variants are checked against the product and your brand rules before a person sees them.
ApprovalWe found no client approval step in its public product information.A review queue where each variant is approved or rejected with a reason. A client can be invited as a reviewer who sees one brand only.
AutomationAutomation rules that run around the clock, and an "AI Marketer" that audits the ad account every day and lists priorities.Rules that act within limits your team sets and can be undone. They are a baseline, not the reason to choose Farbi.
PlatformsMeta first, with a live Meta integration that has run for years.Built for several platforms, with one creative kept as one record across them. Its platform connections are newer than Madgicx's Meta integration.
How it is pricedOn its own pricing page. We do not quote it here.A free plan with 5 generations a day. Creator is $24 a month and Pro is $59 a month ($19 and $47 a month billed annually). Plans are sized by a generation allowance, not by ad spend.

Farbi and doing it by hand

By hand means a designer or a design tool makes each asset and you upload it to each platform's own ad manager, such as Meta Ads Manager. It costs nothing extra, and for a small account it is often the right call.

AspectBy hand in an ad managerFarbi
Making the creativeA designer or a general design tool makes each asset. You export a file for every placement.Variants come from a reference and a preset. The editor handles resizing, background removal and text on the image.
Staying on brandIt depends on the person and on the template they work from.Style presets, and on Pro your own trained Style Memory, apply to every run. Brand rules are checked before review.
ApprovalUsually in chat, email or a shared document, away from the asset itself.Each decision is logged against the exact version, with its reason.
Results across platformsEach platform has its own manager and its own reports. You keep the link between them yourself.One creative keeps its history across platforms. Spend, results, impressions and clicks can be added up across platforms and are labelled as such. Rates such as CTR, CPC and ROAS stay within one platform and are never blended.
What it costsNo extra tool, but your own or a designer's time on every asset.A free plan, then $24 or $59 a month.

The platforms now generate too

Meta, Google and TikTok each offer creative generation inside their own ad tools. If generic variations of an asset you already have are enough, that may be all you need. Those tools work inside one platform. Farbi starts from your own references and brand, and keeps one creative and its history across platforms.
