Decision checklist
Simplified is an AI marketing workspace with Riley, creative tools, a social media scheduler and approval workflows. Its current positioning centres on repeat campaigns, with brand context shared across writing, design and publishing. Buyers should evaluate the complete workflow they will use rather than treating it as only an AI writer.
Start with one campaign brief containing the audience, offer, channels and brand rules. Review the generated copy and visuals together, then route approved assets to publishing. Before committing, check whether your actual social channels and client-review process fit the workspace. Count distinct output types when estimating campaign usage; do not equate one broad business launch with one credit automatically.
Each campaign credit produces one type of output, such as a batch of social posts, an email sequence or a set of ad variants. A product launch that needs social posts, emails and ads uses three credits, not one. Map your monthly content calendar into campaigns before choosing a plan, so you know whether five campaigns a month on Starter is enough.
Set up brand memory with your tone, banned phrases and product facts, then route every AI draft through the approval workflow before publishing. Review claims, prices and offers carefully, since AI can repeat old information. For agencies, client approvals inside the workspace save email back-and-forth.
An AI social media management workflow is useful when the same team owns creation and distribution. Agencies should confirm seats and client workspace allowances before replacing their existing stack.
Starting price: US$79/month for Starter (advertised monthly price). Model: Subscription with campaign and creative allowances; team limits vary by plan.
Worked exampleA marketer using five eligible social-batch campaigns each month would budget US$79/month, or US$948 over 12 monthly payments, before tax. An email sequence and an ad set for the same launch can require additional campaign credits.

Pro/Business prices and billing terms require checkout or vendor confirmation. No annual amount is inferred. Additional campaigns cost US$10 each on any plan.
