Connect360 picks certified AI tools for every stage of your funnel, locks a 30-day forecast for each one, and pays them only when they hit it.
Large companies forecast, hold out a control group, measure real lift, cut what fails and feed what they learn into the next cycle. Everyone else has a pile of AI apps that don't share data, reports they can't verify, and ad spend with no clear proof of what came back.
Each tool grades its own work. Money leaks between tools, between spend and proof, and between what a vendor promises and what it delivers.
Every tool has a locked forecast, a holdout to measure against, and a fee that depends on hitting its target. What it learns feeds the next period.
Which of your AI tools actually made you money last month?
If you paused your agency tomorrow, would revenue drop? How do you know?
Are you paying for results, or for reports?
Connect360 closes the loop for any brand, at any size. See how it works
You set up once. After that, every period runs the same loop: forecast, ramp up, measure, pay, tune or swap, and forecast again with what was learned.
Add your business profile, budget and margin. Connect your store and ad accounts: Shopify, Meta Ads, Google Ads, TikTok Ads and Klaviyo. Upload your brand kit and the claims you never want made.
The engine picks your plan and matches certified tools to your business type, market and budget. You don't have to evaluate dozens of apps yourself.
Each tool gets a 30-day target. Targets reset only if you change your budget.
New tools learn your audience first. Scoring starts on day 31.
A share of your audience is held out, so results show real lift, not what a tool claims.
The base fee covers the core unit. Each tool's performance fee is paid only if it meets its target.
Early warnings fire when a tool trends below target. The vendor gets a tuning window. If it still misses, the engine recommends a replacement and you approve the swap.
When your budget holds at the next tier for 2 months, you graduate to a bigger plan. Tools hand off audiences, winning creatives and conversion data.
Each stage has its own package and its own measure, so no part of the funnel is left to guesswork. Your plan sets how many funnel tools you run.
Bring qualified visitors into the funnel.
Turn visitors into people you can reach again.
Ads and creative, with hands-on design reviews.
Convert demand into orders.
Win back site visitors, checkout exits and churned customers.
The enterprise intelligence underneath every funnel. A startup gets the same engine an enterprise does.
Audience intelligence that finds the people most likely to buy.
AI bidding and budget allocation across your channels.
The dashboard, locked forecasts and holdout measurement.
A locked forecast, real lift over a holdout, and a bill that shows every fee next to the result that earned it. Here is one year for a sample brand.
Skincare brand on the Growth plan, $12,000 a month in ad spend
Period 3, scored against a 15% holdout
| Tool | Target | Actual | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drive traffic | 18% of market | 21% | On target |
| Generate leads | 1,200 | 1,344 | On target |
| Promote | 1.8% CTR | 2.1% | On target |
| Increase sales | $47,983 | $54,221 | On target |
| Retarget prospects | 380 | 296 | 78% of target |

Your monthly ad budget sets your plan. Every plan includes the core unit and a holdout, so results are always measured against what would have happened anyway.
Enter your numbers to see your plan, your base fee, and how much in added sales the tools would need to cover it.
At $12,000 a month, the tools need to add $1,000–2,400 in sales every 30 days to pay for the base fee. That's 8–20% of your ad budget in added sales.
Covers the core unit: audience intelligence, AI bidding and budget allocation, and the dashboard with forecasts and holdout measurement.
Paid only when a tool meets its locked target. A tool that misses forfeits its fee for that period.
Shared only on gross profit above target, never on revenue. It applies to the portion above target and is capped each period.
Paid directly to the ad platforms from your own accounts. Connect360 never marks it up.
Pilot pricing. The base fee within each range depends on the tools in your plan, and the model may change before general launch.
Start at startup prices. When your budget holds at the next tier for 2 months, you graduate to a bigger plan, and nothing you've learned is left behind.
Close the loop for the first time: 3 funnel tools, a 10% holdout and the full core unit.
5 funnel tools across the whole funnel, measured against a 15% holdout.
10 funnel tools and a 20% holdout. Tools compete with others in their category.
The full loop at scale, with proof you can take to finance.
When you move up a plan, or a tool is swapped out, the outgoing tools pass on what they learned. The new tools start from your history, not from zero.
Build a Connect360 Edition of your tool and get matched to brands that need your stage of the funnel. No sales team needed. Your tool is scored on lift over a holdout, so good work shows.
The engine places your tool with brands that fit its business type, market and budget.
Tools are ranked against others in their category on measured lift, not on claims.
Performance fees when you hit target, a share of the bonus when brands profit above it, and a launch incentive for new vendors.
On gross profit above target, each period
Connect360 also keeps a share of performance fees.
One marketing dashboard for local businesses: plan and approve social posts, track reviews and local listings, and see your Google Analytics numbers, all inside WordPress.
The pilot is open to ecommerce brands, with a focus on budgets of $5K–25K a month, and to AI tool vendors ready to build a Connect360 Edition. Tell us a little about you and a member of the team will be in touch.
Pilot success criteria. These are targets, not results.
Proven against a holdout, or replaced.
A member of the Connect360 team will email you within two business days to set up a short call.
A holdout is a share of your audience that no tool reaches: 10% to 20% depending on your plan. Comparing people who saw a tool's work with people who didn't shows the lift the tool actually added, rather than sales that would have happened anyway.
Before a period starts, each tool gets a 30-day target. It's locked so nobody can move the goalposts. It resets only if you change your budget.
A base fee every 30 days for the core unit, a performance fee for each tool that meets its target, and a bonus shared only on gross profit above target, capped each period. Your ad spend goes straight to the ad platforms and is never marked up.
It forfeits its performance fee for that period. Early warnings fire as soon as a tool trends below target, and the vendor gets a tuning window. If the tool still misses, the engine recommends a replacement. Nothing is swapped until you approve it.
New tools get a 30-day ramp-up to learn your audience. Scoring against the locked forecast starts on day 31. Your dashboard shows progress against target from the first day.
You connect your own store and ad accounts, and your data stays yours. Tools use it to do their stage of the funnel. When a tool is swapped or you graduate, audiences, winning creatives and conversion data hand off to the next tool so you don't start over.
Plans bill every 30 days. Pilot terms, including how to leave, are set out in writing before you start.
At launch: Shopify for your store, Meta Ads, Google Ads and TikTok Ads for paid media, and Klaviyo for email. If you're on WooCommerce, Wix or another platform, join the pilot list and tell us which.
