Quartile Review (2026)No Price Anywhere on the Site
By Daan Haket · Researched and written with an AI assistant · who does what
Everything about the sales motion here is a conversation.
brands and sellers already running paid media across several retail networks at once — Amazon Sponsored Ads and Amazon DSP, Walmart, Instacart, Criteo, Google, Meta, Microsoft and, newly listed on the site in September 2026, ChatGPT Ads — who would rather hand the whole set to one team than wire together a tool per channel. The fixed account team is the actual product here, not a support tier, and if you were going to hire an agency anyway then a platform with people attached is a fair shape for the money.
you want to know what something costs before you take a sales call — nothing on this site will tell you, and two of its direct competitors will. Skip it as well if your spend sits on one marketplace and you are comfortable running the bids yourself. The multi-network reach and the account team are what you would be paying for, and neither does much for a single-channel seller with a working routine.

Pricing (2026)
✓ Pricing re-verified 13 Oct 2026
(2026-09-11, re-read on their own site and again on 13 October 2026) There is no public pricing. quartile.com/pricing serves the same page as the homepage — no tier, no rate card and no entry figure anywhere on it, and the only call to action is Request Demo. The dollar amounts the site does show are volume claims about their customer base rather than prices: over $2B in annual retail advertising spend managed and over $25B in annual managed revenue, across 5,300+ customers in more than 32 countries.
Two audiences are named, Small Business and Mid-Market/Enterprise, with no rate attached to either. The 40% introductory discount that the referral route carried in August 2026 is no longer published: quartile.com/partners now rewards the referrer by an unnamed amount instead. Budget for this one from a written quote, because nothing else exists. Plans change — always verify the live price on their site.
Category context: E-commerce. Across the 40 tools in this category that we researched with a public US-dollar price, the median entry price is $19 a month (lowest paid plan as listed, per seat where the vendor prices per seat). Compare pricing conditions in the Software Cost Atlas →

The honest knock
The product is sold as a platform plus a dedicated account team, and there is no self-serve entry: the only route in is Request Demo. That carries a cost which never appears on the page — you cannot size this against your ad budget before you talk to someone, and you cannot put it next to a competitor on paper. It matters more than usual in this category, because the direct peers do publish.
Our own dossiers have Teikametrics at $149 a month billed annually for up to $10K in monthly ad spend, plus 3% of spend above that (read 2026-08-01), and BidX at €495 a month for its self-service Amazon tier (read 2026-08-06). Against those two, Quartile is an unknown until you have a quote in hand. The introductory offer that used to soften this has been withdrawn. In August 2026 a referral link carried 40% off a new customer's first three months; re-read on 11 September 2026, quartile.com/partners publishes no customer discount at all — it now rewards the person making the introduction, by an amount it declines to name.
So there is no published discount left to negotiate against, and the quote is the only figure in the entire transaction. One more figure to handle carefully: the 41% average increase in ROAS on their homepage is Quartile's own number, measured by Quartile on Quartile's customers. Nobody independent has checked it and neither have we, so ask what the sample was and over what period before you let it weigh on the decision.

What Quartile does
Retail media optimisation across Amazon Sponsored Ads and Amazon DSP, Walmart, Instacart, Criteo, Google, Meta and Microsoft, and ChatGPT Ads as well since August 2026 (the vendor told us on 31 Aug 2026; we have not seen it ourselves), sold as a platform plus a dedicated account team rather than a self-serve tool. Demo-led with no public pricing of any kind: no tiers, no entry rate, nothing on the pricing page. The 41% average ROAS uplift on their homepage is the vendor's own claim.
What buyers report about Quartile
Hands-on: not tested by usReported by buyers: Capterra, read August 2026
Themes from the buyer-review sites listed at the foot of this page, read in August 2026. We have not run Quartile ourselves, so this is other buyers' experience rather than ours. We summarise it here because the complaints are usually the part a vendor page leaves out.
- • Nearly all the praise is about people rather than software: named account managers who communicate well and bring the strategy. That is worth knowing, because the account team is what you are actually buying here.
- • The single-ASIN, single-keyword and waterfall campaign structures, plus bulk campaign management across several marketplaces at once, are what analysts running European Amazon accounts credit for the time saved.
- • The granular structure cuts both ways: an analyst managing hundreds of campaigns (October 2025) says oversight and decision-making get harder at that scale, and another reviewer wants a simple metrics view for someone who is not in the tool daily.
- • The people implementing the changes are usually not the people you speak to, so reviewers cannot find out why a given change was made.
- • The one detailed long-term negative (November 2023, a consumer-goods CEO after eighteen months) is severe: campaign structures that de-ranked them on top keywords and bloated campaigns leaking spend, which the reviewer blames on the company scaling headcount faster than account quality.
Where the ratings disagree. 4.5 across 94 reviews, and the shape matters more than the number: the five-star reviews tend to be short and about one named account manager, while the low ratings are long and about media results. When the review is really a review of a person, the service is only as good as staffing continuity — ask who will run your account and what happens when they move on.
There is no plan to weigh, so weigh the quote
There is nothing to compare here, and that is the finding. quartile.com/pricing serves the same page as the homepage: no tiers, no rate card, no entry figure, and one call to action, which is Request Demo. The dollar amounts the site does show are volume claims about their own book, not prices: over $2B in annual retail ad spend managed and over $25B in managed revenue across 5,300+ customers in 32 countries.
Those claims are still useful, because you can divide them. $2B of managed ad spend across 5,300 customers is an average of about $377,000 a year per customer, or roughly $31,000 a month. That is the size of business Quartile is built around, and if your ad spend is an order of magnitude below it you are not their median customer and the quote will tell you so. It also lets you build a yardstick from peers who do publish.
Our own dossiers have Teikametrics at $149 a month billed annually for up to $10K of monthly ad spend, plus 3% of everything above that (read 2026-08-01), and BidX at €495 a month for its self-service Amazon tier (read 2026-08-06). Run Quartile's own average customer through Teikametrics' published formula — $149 plus 3% of the $21,446 above the threshold — and you get about $792 a month. At $100K of monthly spend the same formula gives $2,849, and at $500K it gives $14,849.
That is not what Quartile charges; it is the order of magnitude a percentage-of-spend model produces at your size, and it is the number to have in your head when the quote arrives. Handle the introductory offer carefully, because it is gone. In August 2026 the referral route carried 40% off a new customer's first three months; on 11 September 2026 quartile.com/partners publishes no customer discount at all. It is now a referrer-reward scheme — you introduce a brand by email, and the reward is described only as one that may vary.
The single published number a buyer could have negotiated against has been withdrawn, and nothing quantified replaced it. One more figure to hold at arm's length: the 41% average ROAS increase on their homepage is Quartile's own number, measured by Quartile on Quartile's customers. Nobody independent has checked it and neither have we. Ask what the sample was and over what period before you let it weigh on the decision.
Questions we are still checking
Facts about Quartile that would change a buying decision, and where we stand on each. An unanswered question does not mean the feature is missing; it means we have not confirmed it yet.
- What minimum monthly ad spend, contract term and cancellation notice does Quartile require? Still checking
Applies to: no public pricing; third-party summaries quote a minimum spend and a notice period.
Why it matters: a minimum spend or a long term can rule Quartile out for a smaller seller before any demo.

How to actually use Quartile
There is no self-serve route in, so the first step is the demo — which means the preparation matters more than usual. Go in with your monthly ad spend written down, because every plausible pricing model in this category is anchored to it, and with the peer figures beside it: Teikametrics at $149 a month plus 3% of spend above $10K, BidX at €495 a month self-serve. Those are the only published comparisons you will have.
Ask for four things in writing. The pricing basis — flat fee, percentage of spend, or both, and what happens when spend rises mid-contract. The contract term and notice period. What the dedicated account team actually includes and what is billable on top of it. And the sample behind the 41% ROAS claim: how many accounts, over what period, measured against what baseline. Do not count on the referral discount that was there in August 2026: the referral page now rewards the referrer, not you, and names no amount. If one is offered, convert it to a full-year figure before it moves anything.
Where this section comes from: our research notes (96 words)
Quartile's own site, www.quartile.com, re-read on 11 September 2026: the home page (which /pricing also serves) for the platform, channel and volume statements our review uses, including the $2B, $25B, 5,300+ and 41% figures and the newly listed ChatGPT Ads channel, and www.quartile.com/partners for the referral programme, which on that date published no customer discount. Any per-customer or annual average we quote that Quartile does not print is our own arithmetic on those published numbers.
Home page and /pricing re-read on 13 October 2026: still no public price; channel list now also names Instacart and Criteo.
Quartile vs Teikametrics, side by side
Where a vendor publishes a price, its column shows the entry price we read and when; where it does not, the column says so rather than filling in a figure from elsewhere. We do not average them into a score.
The Quartile link above is an affiliate link — we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you — and the other column is a plain link. Neither changes what this table says.
The natural comparison is Teikametrics — the useful comparison, because it is broadly the same job with the opposite pricing posture. Teikametrics publishes: $149 a month billed annually for up to $10K in monthly ad spend, $179 billed monthly, and above that threshold a custom base plus 3% of ad spend (our dossier, read 2026-08-01). Quartile publishes nothing at all and sells through a demo. What Quartile offers in exchange is reach and people — Instacart, Criteo, Google, Meta and Microsoft alongside Amazon and Walmart, with a fixed team on the account — where Teikametrics is Amazon and Walmart software you run yourself. Get a written quote from Quartile at your real monthly spend and hold it against the Teikametrics arithmetic at that same number; that is the only comparison here that means anything..
Frequently asked questions
Is there a published minimum ad spend or contract term?
Not on Quartile's own site. quartile.com and quartile.com/pricing (read 13 October 2026) show no tier, fee, minimum spend or contract term, only volume claims and a Request Demo button. Third-party pricing summaries circulate figures for a minimum spend, fee tiers and a cancellation notice period, but Quartile does not publish them, so treat them as unconfirmed and get the minimum, the term and the notice period in the written proposal.
Which ad channels does it cover?
Quartile's home page (read 13 October 2026) lists marketplace channels Amazon Sponsored Ads, Amazon DSP, Walmart, Instacart and Criteo (Target, Best Buy and others), and direct-to-consumer channels Google Ads, ChatGPT Ads, Meta Ads and Microsoft Ads. It does not say whether each extra channel or account changes the fee; that is not confirmed and belongs in the quote.
