If you are looking for a Marpipe alternative, you likely want catalog ads that look like a brand made them. You also want to pay for the tool you need, not a bigger one. This page puts Marpipe and Convinci side by side and says plainly who each one is for.

Every claim about Marpipe comes from its own public pages, and we link each one. We read them on October 5, 2026, so treat every Marpipe fact here as true as of October 2026. Prices change, so check their site before you buy.

Who Marpipe is for

Marpipe calls itself a catalog platform. Its pricing page says it has "7,000+ Users", "From Fortune 500's to DTC startups". It does two big jobs. It manages your product feed, and it designs your catalog ad images.

Its catalog ad creative page speaks to stores that say "You've got 1,000s of SKUs". It lets you "Push your feed to Meta, Google, TikTok, Pinterest and Snapchat". It also has design rules, like its own example: "Show sale badge if discount > 20%".

Here are its plans, as of October 2026:

  • Free, $0. Explore and preview designs.
  • Startup, $199 a month. Up to 500 SKUs, 1 channel, 1 market and 3 live designs. Its Shopify listing says this plan is for stores "under $25k in monthly ad spend".
  • Enterprise, from $999 a month on a yearly plan. The Shopify listing shows $1,499 a month, or $11,988 a year. It adds product level video, unlimited channels and live designs, and a dedicated design strategist.

The listing also says Enterprise pricing is "based on number of SKUs". It says "Hourly Syncing, Multiple Languages, Product Level Video, and Design Support are extra." The Enterprise button on the pricing page says "Book a demo".

To be fair to Marpipe, Startup is self serve. Its pricing page says you "never have to talk to someone" if you do not want to. The Shopify listing showed a 5.0 rating from 7 reviews, and a launch date of April 11, 2025.

So Marpipe is built for brands with big catalogs, many ad channels and a team. Its top plan is sales led, with calls, a Slack channel and done for you designs.

Who Convinci is for

Convinci is for Shopify stores that run catalog ads on Meta. It does one job. It takes the plain photos in your Shopify catalog and turns them into branded ad images.

Each image can show your store name or logo, the price and a sale badge. The badge shows the real percent off when a product has a compare at price. Images can also show a star rating, a review count and a lifestyle photo.

There are three designs: A Frame, B Pane and C Four Corners. There are also multi image layouts. You paste your store link, look at your ads, and press Publish. Setup takes a few minutes, with no call and no demo.

Our plans, from our pricing section:

  • Free, $0 forever. Covers 10 products. No card and no watermark.
  • Pro, $99 a month. Up to 1,000 photos for 1 store, every design and format. Each extra store is $49 a month.
  • Founder price. The first 100 Pro customers pay $79 a month, locked for life.

Paid plans come with a promise. If your ROAS is not up 50% in 30 days, press Refund me in your account. We refund what you paid Convinci, not your ad spend.

Bottom line: Convinci is the smaller, cheaper tool for one store on Meta. Marpipe is the bigger platform for many channels and big teams.

When Marpipe is the better pick

We would rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one. Marpipe is the better choice in these cases:

  • You run catalog ads on Google, TikTok, Pinterest or Snapchat, not just Meta.
  • You sell many thousands of products and need feed tools too.
  • You want a team to design your ads and plan your tests.
  • You need product level video now. Convinci video is not live yet.
  • You sell in many markets and languages.

If that sounds like you, Marpipe is worth a demo.

What makes Convinci a good Marpipe alternative

Here is what Convinci does differently:

  • The price fits a smaller store. Pro is $99 a month, or $79 at the founder price. Marpipe Startup is $199.
  • More products on the first paid plan. Convinci Pro covers up to 1,000 photos. Marpipe Startup stops at 500 SKUs.
  • No design work. You pick a design, and your logo, price and sale badge fill in for every product.
  • You see it before you pay. The free preview on our home page shows your own products, with no account.
  • Your ads stay as they are. Convinci does not edit your campaigns, ad sets or ads.

How Convinci reaches Meta

Your designed images live in Convinci. When you press Publish, Convinci adds them to your Meta catalog as a supplementary data source. It swaps the image fields only. Your prices, stock and campaigns are not touched.

Read how supplementary data sources work on Meta for the details. Remove the data source and Meta puts your plain images back on its next fetch.

How to switch from Marpipe to Convinci
