To be fair

Where Productor is the better fit.

  • You want a free tool with research helpers, trademark checks and Excel bulk import.
  • You check sales and ad spend on your phone.
  • You mainly need ad reports and exports rather than changing your campaigns.

Productor for research, uploads and your phone; MerchPPC for deciding what to do with your ads. They do not get in each other's way.
