First, let us sayPerpetua we appreciate you

So let us tell you why brands switch to Profasee once they outgrow rule-based PPC.
Why sellers switch
Why sellers upgrade from Perpetua to Profasee.
AI reasoning, not rule libraries
Perpetua runs on campaign goals you configure. Marko runs on live business context — actual margin per SKU, inventory depth, competitor pressure, and listing health — and reasons from first principles every time it changes a bid.
Cross-function coordination
Perpetua optimizes inside the ad account in isolation. Profasee employees share signals: when Bruno flags a stockout risk, Marko automatically reduces bids. When Oracle raises a price, Marko adjusts the bid ceiling. Perpetua can't see any of that.
Explainable, rollback-ready decisions
Perpetua shows what it did. Profasee shows what it did, why it decided that way, which signals triggered the action, and lets you roll the entire change back with one click.
Modular hiring, not per-seat pricing
Perpetua is priced per account with enterprise contracts. Profasee is $299 platform + $399/mo for Marko. Add Oracle for pricing or Bruno for demand planning when each one earns its keep.
