How to use this comparison

From budget to the channel that returns the most

The best platform depends on your objective and offer, not just the numbers. Here is how to read the comparison and choose where your budget works hardest.

  1. Step 1: Enter your budget and order value

    Add your planned monthly ad budget and your average order or lead value. The tool estimates clicks, conversions, cost per lead and ROAS for each platform instantly, in your browser.

  2. Step 2: Pick the platforms you are weighing

    Toggle the ad platforms you are considering. The comparison recomputes so you only weigh the channels that fit your business and objective.

  3. Step 3: Read the ROAS and cost-per-lead rows

    These are the numbers that decide efficiency. The highlighted column is estimated to return the most revenue per rupee for your inputs, with cost per lead alongside it.

  4. Step 4: Match it to your objective

    ROAS is not the only lens. If you need reach or B2B decision-makers, read the Best-for row too. The right platform depends on the job, not the benchmark alone.

  5. Step 5: Confirm with a real test

    Benchmarks are directional. Run a small test campaign on your top one or two platforms with real creative before you commit the full budget, then scale what works.

What decides your best-performing ad platform

Six factors that move the winner from one channel to another.

Search intent vs demand generation

Google captures people already searching for what you sell; Meta creates demand you did not have yet. The best platform depends on whether you are harvesting intent or building it.

Budget efficiency

A lower cost per click is not automatically cheaper leads. What matters is cost per conversion, which combines CPC with how well that platform's traffic actually converts for your offer.

Conversion quality, not clicks

Clicks are vanity. Amazon shoppers are ready to buy, LinkedIn clicks are fewer but higher-value B2B. Compare on conversions and revenue, not traffic volume.

Audience and targeting

Each platform's targeting strength differs: keywords on Google, interests and lookalikes on Meta, purchase behaviour on Amazon, job title and company on LinkedIn. Match it to who you sell to.

Objective fit

Awareness, leads and sales are not the same job. A platform that wins on ROAS for e-commerce can be the wrong pick for B2B lead generation. Pick for your objective first.

Creative and offer

The single biggest swing in results is your creative and offer, not the platform. Strong creative can beat these benchmarks; weak creative underperforms them. Test before you scale.

Question & Answer

Ad-platform comparison questions, answered

The real questions brands ask before choosing where to spend their ad budget. No jargon, no vendor pitch.

It depends on your objective, industry and offer. Google captures high-intent search, Amazon converts ready-to-buy shoppers, Meta drives reach and retargeting, and LinkedIn reaches B2B decision-makers. Use the comparison above with your budget and order value to see which is estimated to return the most for your case. The benchmarks are illustrative and vary widely, so treat the ranking as directional.

Neither is universally better. Google Ads captures people already searching for your product, so intent is high; Meta Ads reaches people who are not searching yet but can be persuaded, often at a lower cost per click. Many brands run both: Google to harvest demand, Meta to create it. The tool lets you compare the estimated numbers side by side for your budget.

They are directional, not guarantees. The cost-per-click and conversion-rate benchmarks are illustrative India averages and your real results depend heavily on your industry, offer, creative, targeting and account quality. Use the comparison to weigh channels, then validate with a small real test campaign before scaling.

Most growing brands use a mix, matched to objective: search for intent, social for reach and retargeting, marketplaces for product sales. Start where the estimated efficiency and your objective line up, prove it works, then expand. The comparison helps you decide where to start rather than spreading a small budget too thin.

No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to Dcrayons or any ad platform, and nothing is stored, so you can plan real budgets without any privacy concern.
