What is Intentwise?

Intentwise is a commerce intelligence platform for brands and agencies, built around advertising. Its Optimize product covers Amazon DSP, Walmart, Criteo, Instacart, TikTok and Target Roundel, Intelligence covers Amazon Marketing Cloud and Product 360, and Foundation provides a data store, data pipelines and an AI gateway. Pricing is quoted through sales.

Stay on Intentwise if

  • Amazon DSP and AMC analysis is the core of your work
  • You advertise across Walmart, Criteo, Instacart or TikTok
  • You need bid and campaign automation, not just reporting
  • An enterprise data pipeline contract is already in place

Switch to Nova if

  • Profit per unit is the number you are missing
  • You want a published price and a self-serve trial
  • You want ad spend inside the P&L rather than beside it
  • You want your Amazon data queryable from Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini
