No. You don't need one. We run the research and send you rival ad findings, hooks to test and next steps for your store.
Why pay $99 when Minea Starter is $49?
The extra $50 buys research done for you, not another tool to operate. Your plan covers rival ads, SEO, creator leads with verified emails and a drafted first message, stockists and review insights.
