Amazon PPC, compared honestly
Teikametrics covers Amazon, Walmart and TikTok Shop in one login. Astra does Amazon only, and runs the whole workflow itself, every ASIN, every day. Want every channel, Teikametrics fits; as a Teikametrics alternative, Astra trades breadth for depth. If your ACOS has not moved, that is the gap.

Bid optimization is one lever. If harvesting search terms, building campaigns and cleaning negatives are still your job, the automation was never running the strategy, just the bids inside it. Astra runs the entire funnel on Amazon: structure, keywords, negatives, budgets and dayparting, per product, every day.
Managed help at Teikametrics is a separate paid offering. With Astra the human layer comes included: an account rep and unlimited strategy calls from the free trial onward, with seasoned operators who have scaled brands of their own.
Teikametrics' published tiers move with your trailing 30-day ad spend, and most add 3% of monthly spend over $10K, so the bill climbs whenever spend does. Astra charges a subscription plus a small percentage of ad revenue: the fee only grows when the ads actually sell.
Models keyed to account-wide targets treat a launch and a bestseller the same. Astra assigns each ASIN its own goal, Profit, Sales or Visibility, and works it daily. That per-product strategy is how a 10,529-SKU catalog holds 17.8% ACOS on about 12 minutes a week.
Each one is a published case study, not a testimonial.
Astra Sellrbox makes Amazon ads feel simple. I don't have to overthink anything. The tools make campaign setup easy enough for a normal person to understand, and once your goals are clear, the AI takes over and handles the rest.
Works as advertised. The software is intuitive and easy to learn, and I got started quickly. I am pretty much hands off asides for the occasional checking of my performance and to adjust my budget and targets.
Sellrbox has been a great ecommerce partner and has grown our Amazon and Tiktok Shop accounts tremendously. We have increased our audience reach twofold and have lower ACOS and TACOS overall.
Responsive and very knowledgeable about Amazon and Walmart policies, especially on navigating 2024 fees. Helped us ~2x our sales through PPC + listing optimization. They definitely know their stuff.
Sellrbox is gold standard. They are responsive and understand all the nuances of the major etailer platforms to help ensure success and grow your brand.
We have automated our Amazon PPC spend, dropped our agency completely saving us about 95% of what we were spending, and doubled our sales in the last few months. I cannot express how grateful I am.
I'm a new Amazon seller, and learning how to manage ads on my own has been very challenging. I came across Astra and they've really helped me optimize my ads by significantly lowering my ACOS! My business is finally becoming profitable.
Sellrbox helped grow my amazon account from just under $1,000 in sales per month to over $5,000+ per month, really made my dreams a reality and showed me that making money online is very real and possible.
I've tried Teikametrics and Perpetua but they really don't work that well for advertising. Astra actually did what it was supposed to and scaled up my ads with AI. We moved our entire Amazon + Walmart management to the Sellrbox team.
I find the platform easy to use. There is a P&L section that succinctly describes my profitability which was an insanely manual task before. Support is great, they are reachable and proactively offer to help. Sales keep growing and can't complain.
We've seen a noticeable boost in profitability since using Astra. The automation features make campaign management effortless, and their customer support goes above and beyond. Perfect for teams that want to streamline ad performance and scale efficiently.
I was looking for a way to quickly scale my business across multiple platforms without expanding my team, and Sellrbox has been the perfect agency. They have in-house automation softwares that made managing ads so much easier.
Sellrbox worked out well for my brand, I was hesitant at first but they quickly showed that they were experts in the ecommerce world. Would work with them again!
Three steps, nothing to migrate by hand, nothing to turn off.
Keep Teikametrics running and start the 30-day free trial, no credit card needed. Point Astra at part of your catalog and let the two run head to head; our longest published side-by-side test ran for over a year in one account before the owner moved everything.
Start the free trial →Before you change anything, an analyst reviews the account, runs a free advertising audit and walks you through what they find. There is no commitment, and you keep the findings either way.
Book the free audit →Connect Seller Central and Astra pulls in up to 24 months of campaign history, everything your account learned in the Teikametrics era included, so it knows what has and hasn't worked before it makes a single change. It builds its own structure and starts improving from day one. Nothing to export, nothing to rebuild by hand.
Our comparison promise
Every claim about Teikametrics on this page links to its source, most of them Teikametrics' own pages, checked September 2026. If we got something wrong, tell us and we will correct it.
Both, and the difference is scope and shape. Teikametrics is a multichannel platform (Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop) centered on AI bid optimization, listing content and AMC tools, with managed services on top. Astra is Amazon-only and runs the entire PPC workflow itself: it creates campaigns, harvests keywords, manages negatives, sets bids daily and dayparts, all keyed to a goal you set per product. Breadth versus depth is the honest one-line summary.
The pattern this comparison keeps surfacing: a fee keyed to ad spend that climbed with the budget, automation that optimized bids while the keyword and structure work stayed manual, and one account-wide target stretched over products that needed different goals. Astra answers each one structurally: a revenue-keyed fee, the full workflow automated, a goal per ASIN. Whether that matches your experience is what the 30-day side-by-side trial is for.
Different bases. Teikametrics prices by your ad spend: a free Basic tier, Essential from $149 a month on annual under $10K spend and $499 plus 3% of spend over $10K above it, Advanced from $1,199 (their published help-center pricing, September 2026). Astra is a monthly subscription plus a percentage of ad revenue: Explorer at $149 a month plus 1.75%, Professional from $299 plus 1.65% or 1.55%. Spend-based fees grow when you spend more; revenue-based fees grow only when your ads sell more.
No, and this is the sharpest pricing difference between the two. Teikametrics keys its tiers to your trailing 30-day ad spend and adds 3% of monthly spend over $10K; Astra charges a monthly subscription plus a small percentage of the ad revenue it manages, never a percentage of spend. Both models are published, so run them against your own numbers.
No. Astra supports Amazon Seller Central in 16 Amazon marketplaces, and nothing else. If Walmart or TikTok Shop advertising is core to your plan, Teikametrics is the better fit for that part of the business, and we would rather tell you that here than after a demo.
Yes, and it is the way we suggest starting. The 30-day free trial needs no credit card, and you can point Astra at part of your catalog while the rest keeps running as it is. One of our published case studies ran exactly that side-by-side test in one account for over a year before moving everything.
No. There is nothing to export from Teikametrics and nothing to rebuild: connect Seller Central, set a goal per product, and Astra syncs up to 24 months of your campaign history, builds its own structure and optimizes from there. Setup is minutes, not a migration project.
Astra starts optimizing the same day you connect, and the honest answer on results is weeks, not hours: ad platforms need cycles to learn. Among the published case studies, SpitJack saw sales up 41% in the first 30 days, and rtunes ran Astra head to head against manual management for over a year, finishing at 19.4% versus 51.7% ACOS. What changes immediately is the workload.
Yes, and unlike managed services sold as a separate tier, it is included: an account rep and unlimited strategy calls from the free trial onward, with operators who have scaled brands of their own. If you want the account run for you entirely, Astra's managed edition adds a dedicated PPC specialist.
No. Astra bills monthly or annually (annual saves 20%), and you can move between plans and billing at any time. For contrast, Teikametrics' published policy notes refunds are not issued for early cancellation on its subscriptions.
