Intentwise is a complete Amazon, Walmart, Criteo and Instacart advertising platform for Sellers, Vendors, aggregators, and high-volume agencies.
Table of Contents
Includes every feature you can think of such as campaign automation, audit / recommendations, competitive intelligence and data infrastructure for Amazon, Instacart, Criteo, Target, Walmart, and more.
The platform helps users collect, organize, visualize, and analyze their Amazon and ecommerce data to maximize performance and build a sound data strategy for competing on retail marketplaces. In addition to its analytics capabilities, Intentwise also offers ad optimization and demand side platform (DSP) advertising services. Oh! and it also works for Amazon Vendor's Amazon Marketing Services.
This is not another Amazon Advertising tool. To me, this is one of the best I've put my hands on, really similar to other major tools as Quartile or Perpetua.

Review
As I already said, this is not “one more Amazon advertising tool“. This is for professional advertisers, Vendors, large Sellers, agencies or Amazon aggregators looking to improve and scale their performance on Amazon and other ecommerce platforms.
One of the key benefits of Intentwise is its ad optimization feature which is integrated with sales channels such as Amazon Seller, Vendor, Walmart Ads, Criteo and Instacart Ads. All in one place. So it's easier for your to optimize campaigns, manage budgets and check your real time sales. It's automated recommendations, flexible bid management options, and insights on competitors are really helpful to manage your ad spend and optimize your campaigns.
Intentwise's analytics capabilities are also a strong selling point, with its ability to collect, organize, visualize, and analyze data from a wide range of sources to help users make informed decisions about their ecommerce strategy. Additionally, the company's demand side platform (DSP) advertising service allows users to reach new audiences and drive growth through targeted and retargeted campaigns.
There are a few potential drawbacks to consider with Intentwise. The company does not publicly disclose its pricing plans or costs, which could be a barrier for some users who are unsure if the tool is within their budget. Additionally, while Intentwise offers a range of integrations with popular tools and platforms but it's not compatible with all systems and workflows.
Pros
- Awesome features, including ad optimization, analytics, and demand side platform (DSP) advertising
- Killer features such as Amazon, Criteo, Instacart and Walmart Ads integration
- Automated recommendations
- Flexible bid management options for ad optimization
- 24/7 live chat and personalized onboarding support
Cons
- Most pricing plans and costs are not publicly disclosed
- Not working for Amazon KDP (you can have that on Perpetua and Quartile, both Intentwise's rivals)
- May not be compatible with all systems and workflows
- They added an API back in 2020, but it's not working anymore
