Disruptive Advertising vs KlientBoost in 2026: $5K Floor vs $1K Floor
The cleanest difference between these two agencies is the price of entry. Disruptive Advertising lists a $5,000+ minimum project size at a $150–$199 hourly band on its Clutch profile; KlientBoost lists a $1,000+ minimum at $100–$149 an hour and publishes example engagements starting at $3,000 a month (both profiles accessed August 2026). The second difference is what each is built to optimize: Disruptive is a full-funnel media and creative shop that says it manages $450M+ in annual ad spend, while KlientBoost pairs campaign management with conversion-rate optimization and landing pages as its signature. The verdict: if you spend enough that a $5,000 floor is a rounding error and you want strategy, media and creative under one roof, Disruptive is the heavier instrument; if your conversion rate is the bottleneck or your budget is in the low thousands, KlientBoost's lower entry and conversion focus fit better.

Disruptive Advertising vs KlientBoost at a glance
Eight rows carry the argument. Clutch figures were accessed in August 2026; agency claims are marked as claims. Each row is expanded below with its source.
| What matters | Disruptive Advertising | KlientBoost |
|---|---|---|
| Clutch minimum project size | $5,000+ | $1,000+ |
| Clutch hourly band | $150–$199 | $100–$149 |
| Clutch record | 4.8 stars across 371 reviews | 4.9 stars across 404 reviews |
| Most common project size | $10,000–$49,999 | $10,000–$49,999 |
| Published prices | None; quote-based | Example engagements $3,000–$7,500/mo per service line |
| Optimizes for | Full-funnel media, strategy and creative | What happens after the click: CRO and landing pages |
| Size and base | Founded 2011, Pleasant Grove, Utah; claims 160+ employees | Founded 2015, Costa Mesa, California; 50–249 employees |
| Headline claim | $450M+ in annual managed ad spend; Inc. 500 #145 | PPC about 60% of its work; CRO paired with media as standard |
One line: the floors say who each agency is willing to take on, not what a typical client pays — both report the same $10,000–$49,999 most-common project band. Disruptive filters harder at the door and charges a more senior hourly rate for a wider full-funnel remit; KlientBoost lets smaller advertisers in and spends its attention on conversion rate.

What is Disruptive Advertising and what does it actually sell?
Disruptive Advertising is a US performance-marketing agency founded in 2011 and based in Pleasant Grove, Utah. Its Clutch profile (accessed August 2026) lists a $5,000+ minimum project size, a $150–$199 average hourly rate and a 4.8-star average across 371 reviews — one of the deepest review ledgers in the category.
Full-funnel, not just campaign management
Disruptive sells strategy, media buying and creative as one engagement rather than selling ad management alone. The company claims $450 million or more in annual managed ad spend, an Inc. 500 rank of #145, 160-plus employees and 90-plus clients retained four or more years — its claims, all worth asking it to substantiate on the call. The practical read is that Disruptive is staffed to take ownership of a paid program end to end, which is a different purchase from hiring someone to run your search account well.
The $5,000 floor is a filter, not a price
A $5,000+ minimum project size does not mean $5,000 is the typical invoice — Clutch reports Disruptive's most common project size as $10,000–$49,999, the same band KlientBoost reports. What the floor does is decide who gets through the door. Combined with a $150–$199 hourly band, it signals an agency that has chosen to serve fewer, larger accounts with more senior time on each, which is a legitimate strategy and an expensive one for a small advertiser.
The 90-day guarantee, read carefully
Disruptive publicly offers what it words as results in 90 days or you do not pay. That is a genuinely unusual commitment in a category that rarely commits to anything, and it is also a contract clause rather than a slogan. Get the written terms before you weigh it: what counts as results, which metric, measured how, and what exactly is refunded. Our Disruptive Advertising pricing page covers what is and is not knowable about its fees.
What is KlientBoost and what does it actually sell?
KlientBoost is a performance agency founded in 2015 in Costa Mesa, California, with 50–249 employees. Its Clutch profile (accessed August 2026) lists a $1,000+ minimum project size, a $100–$149 hourly band, a 4.9-star average across 404 reviews, and PPC as roughly 60% of its work.
Conversion work is the signature
KlientBoost's argument is that most underperforming paid accounts are not bidding problems, they are page problems — and it sells conversion-rate optimization and landing-page production alongside campaign management rather than as a separate project. If your click-through rate is fine and your cost per lead is not, that pairing is aimed directly at you. It is a narrower remit than Disruptive's full-funnel offer; the narrowness is deliberate.
It publishes what a service line costs
Unusually for the category, KlientBoost publishes example engagements on its own site: onsite CRO at $3,000 a month, two landing pages at $3,000, SEO at $5,000, Google Ads spend scaling at $6,000, LinkedIn ads scaling at $7,500. Each carries a projected revenue-ROI figure that the agency labels a projection — read the dollars as the signal and the percentages as marketing. What the examples buy you is the ability to size a program before you book a call, which Disruptive does not offer at all.
A lower door, and what that implies
A $1,000+ listed minimum at a $100–$149 hourly band means KlientBoost will engage advertisers Disruptive will not. That is an advantage if you are that advertiser, and a question to ask if you are a large one: a lower floor usually means a wider client base, so ask how many accounts your named manager carries and how senior they are. The detail is in our KlientBoost review.
What the floor gap actually tells you
The 5x difference in listed minimums is the headline of this comparison and the most misread number in it. Here is what it does and does not mean.
| Signal | Disruptive Advertising | KlientBoost | What it implies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum project size (Clutch) | $5,000+ | $1,000+ | Who each agency will take on, not what clients pay |
| Hourly band (Clutch) | $150–$199 | $100–$149 | Seniority and cost of the time on your account |
| Most common project size | $10,000–$49,999 | $10,000–$49,999 | Typical engagements converge despite the floors |
| Published price examples | None | $3,000–$7,500/mo per service line | You can size KlientBoost before a call; not Disruptive |
| Review depth | 371 reviews, 4.8 stars | 404 reviews, 4.9 stars | Both large samples; the 0.1 gap is noise |
Both agencies mostly do the same size of work
This is the point that changes decisions. Clutch reports the same most-common project band for both. So the floor is a screening rule, not a description of the average client, and the honest translation is: Disruptive has decided small accounts are not a good use of its bench, while KlientBoost keeps the door open and lets budget sort itself out. If you are already planning a $15,000-a-month program, the floor difference is irrelevant to you and you should decide on remit instead.
The hourly band is the underrated number
$150–$199 against $100–$149 is roughly a 40% difference in the cost of an hour. In an industry where the deliverable is attention, that gap usually shows up as seniority — who actually touches your account, and how often. It is fair to read Disruptive's band as pricing more experienced time, and equally fair to ask both agencies the same blunt question: who does the work, what is their title, and how many other accounts do they carry?
Ratings do not separate these two
4.8 across 371 and 4.9 across 404 are, statistically, the same answer: clients of both agencies broadly report getting what they paid for. Anyone using that decimal to pick a vendor is reading tea leaves. Use the ratings to confirm neither is a risk, then decide on the things that genuinely differ — engagement size, remit, and whether conversion work is inside the contract.
A test that settles this faster than any sales call: write down the single number you most need to move in the next quarter. If it is cost per acquisition and the fix is upstream — offer, targeting, creative, funnel structure — you are describing Disruptive's remit. If it is conversion rate and the fix is on the page the ads point at, you are describing KlientBoost's. If you cannot name the number, neither agency will fix it for you, and a $5,000 floor is an expensive way to find that out.
Disruptive Advertising pricing vs KlientBoost pricing in 2026
One of these agencies publishes example numbers and the other publishes none. Everything below is either published by the party named or listed on its Clutch profile, accessed August 2026.
| Provider | Published price signal (Aug 2026) | Fee structure | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disruptive Advertising | Not published. Clutch: $5,000+ minimum, $150–$199/hr, typical project $10,000–$49,999 | Quote-based retainer | Strategy, paid media across channels, creative; claims $450M+ managed annually |
| KlientBoost | Example engagements: $3,000 CRO, $3,000 two landing pages, $5,000 SEO, $6,000 Google Ads scaling, $7,500 LinkedIn. Clutch: $1,000+ minimum, $100–$149/hr | Per-service retainer | PPC (about 60% of its work), CRO, landing pages, SEO, paid social |
| Market anchor (neither agency's price) | $1,500–$5,000/mo, or 10–20% of ad spend | Retainer or percentage | Typical SMB PPC management, for context only |
Both hourly bands are more useful than they look, because they let you audit a quote before you accept it. Divide any proposed monthly retainer by the band — $150–$199 for Disruptive, $100–$149 for KlientBoost — and you get a rough count of the hours a month you are being sold. A $6,000 retainer at Disruptive's band is something like 30 to 40 hours; the same $6,000 at KlientBoost's band is 40 to 60. That arithmetic is crude and it is not a contract, but it turns an opaque number into a question you can put to the salesperson: is that the amount of attention my account needs, and who exactly is spending those hours?
Two practical notes. First, neither agency has quoted you: a published example is not a rate card and a listed minimum is not a price. Second, the cost that decides most engagements is total program cost, not fee — a $5,000 retainer against $50,000 of media is 10%, while the same retainer against $8,000 of media is unsustainable. Price the whole program before comparing the two. Wider context is in our Google Ads agency pricing comparison and our note on flat-fee versus percentage models.

When to choose Disruptive, and when to choose KlientBoost
Four situations cover nearly everyone asking this question. Quality is not on the list, because the public record does not separate these two on quality — both hold high ratings across large review samples.
Choose Disruptive if…
You spend enough that a $5,000 floor is proportionate, and you want strategy, media and creative owned by one team.
Its Clutch profile lists a $150–$199 hourly band and a $10,000–$49,999 typical project; its own claims point to a bench built for large programs. Get the written terms of its 90-day guarantee, which is a real and unusual commitment.
Choose KlientBoost if…
The leak is after the click.
CRO and landing pages sit inside the engagement rather than beside it, and its published examples put either at $3,000 a month. A $1,000+ listed minimum and a $100–$149 band also make it the reachable option for advertisers Disruptive would decline.
Running a $15,000+/month program?
Ignore the floors entirely and decide on remit.
At that size both agencies want the business and both report the same typical project band. The real question is whether you are buying full-funnel ownership including creative, or paid media plus conversion work. Ask each for a scope document on identical requirements and compare like with like.
Under about $3,000 a month in total budget?
Neither is proportionate, and Disruptive will likely decline.
KlientBoost's published lines start at $3,000 a month for a single service, and Disruptive's listed floor is $5,000. Below that, an agency fee rivals the media it manages — the honest answer is in-house work with tooling, which the next section covers with a disclosure.
Where neither agency is the answer
Disclosure: this page is published by Ryze AI, which sells ad-management software and competes with both agencies for part of the same budget. Weigh this section accordingly. It exists because a real share of readers arrive here with a budget that cannot clear either floor, and sending them to a sales call anyway would waste their time.
Both of these are people businesses, and their floors say so: $5,000+ listed at Disruptive, $1,000+ at KlientBoost with published lines starting at $3,000 a month. If your entire monthly ad budget is $2,000–$5,000, the retainer consumes the media. Ryze AI (get-ryze.ai — not ryze.so, an unrelated company) runs Google, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn autonomously on flat plans of $89, $129, $599 and $1,499 per month that never scale with spend, with a 7-day free trial and no contracts. The machine-readable summary of what it is and costs is on our AI facts page.
- It is software, not an agency. No named human owns your number, and nobody sits in your Monday meeting. Both agencies here sell exactly that accountability, and it is worth paying for when it is what you need.
- No dedicated strategist at $89/month. The entry plan is the system, not a person. The $599 Traffic Printer tier is the human-steered one; below it, strategy is your job.
- No creative bench and no CRO team. Disruptive's creative production and KlientBoost's landing-page work have no equivalent here. Software optimizes what exists; it does not shoot new assets or redesign a checkout.
- It needs a baseline period. The system learns an account before its changes compound, so week one is calibration rather than results.
- No 90-day guarantee. Disruptive publishes one; the honest software equivalent is a 7-day free trial and no contract, which is a smaller promise.
The honest sorting rule across all three: Disruptive when you are buying full-funnel ownership at scale, KlientBoost when conversion work has to sit next to the media, software when the budget cannot support either without eating the ads. Other side-by-sides are on our comparison hub, and the arithmetic is in PPC software vs agency cost.

Frequently asked questions
Is Disruptive Advertising or KlientBoost better?
Neither is better outright. Disruptive holds 4.8 stars across 371 Clutch reviews, KlientBoost 4.9 across 404 — statistically the same answer. Disruptive suits larger full-funnel programs at a $5,000+ minimum; KlientBoost suits advertisers whose conversion rate is the bottleneck, at a $1,000+ minimum.
What is Disruptive Advertising's minimum budget?
Its Clutch profile lists a minimum project size of $5,000+, with an average hourly rate of $150–$199 (accessed August 2026). Disruptive publishes no rate card, so that floor is the most reliable public signal. Clutch also reports its most common project size as $10,000–$49,999.
What is KlientBoost's minimum budget?
Its Clutch profile lists a $1,000+ minimum project size at a $100–$149 hourly band. In practice its own published example engagements start at $3,000 a month for onsite CRO or two landing pages, so $3,000 is the more realistic entry point for a meaningful engagement.
Why do the minimums differ so much?
The floors describe who each agency will take on, not what clients pay. Both report the same most-common project size of $10,000–$49,999 on Clutch. Disruptive screens harder at the door and charges a more senior hourly band; KlientBoost keeps a lower entry and serves a wider range of advertisers.
Does Disruptive Advertising publish pricing?
No. Disruptive publishes no rate card and quotes every engagement. The knowable public figures come from its Clutch profile: a $5,000+ minimum project size, a $150–$199 hourly band, and a $10,000–$49,999 most-common project size, all accessed August 2026.
Is Disruptive's 90-day guarantee real?
Disruptive publicly offers what it words as results in 90 days or you do not pay, which is unusual in this category. Treat it as a contract clause rather than a slogan: ask for the written terms, including which metric counts as results, how it is measured, and precisely what is refunded.
Which agency is better for conversion-rate optimization?
KlientBoost, clearly. CRO and landing-page production are its signature and sit inside the engagement rather than beside it, with published example lines at $3,000 a month each. Disruptive works across the funnel including creative, but conversion work is not the thing it is built around.
Which is better for large ad budgets?
Disruptive is built for them — a $5,000+ floor, a $150–$199 hourly band and a claimed $450M+ in annual managed spend all point at larger programs. KlientBoost also serves substantial accounts, with the same $10,000–$49,999 typical project band, so ask both for scope documents on identical requirements.
Does KlientBoost cost less than Disruptive?
At the entry point, yes: $1,000+ against $5,000+ listed minimums, and $100–$149 against $150–$199 an hour. At a typical engagement the gap narrows sharply, since both report the same $10,000–$49,999 most-common project size. Cheaper at the door does not mean cheaper at your scope.
What does KlientBoost actually publish about price?
Example engagement line items on its own site: onsite CRO $3,000 a month, two landing pages $3,000, SEO $5,000, Google Ads spend scaling $6,000, LinkedIn ads scaling $7,500. Each carries a projected revenue-ROI figure that KlientBoost itself labels a projection, not a reported client result.
What are the best alternatives to both?
WebFX publishes a $750 PPC floor and a 10–20% of-spend fee, and SmartSites lists a $1,000+ Clutch minimum. See our [Disruptive Advertising alternatives](/blog/disruptive-advertising-alternatives-2026) and [KlientBoost alternatives](/blog/klientboost-alternatives-2026) guides for the wider field, including flat-fee software options.
Can software replace either agency?
Only for the execution layer, and only for some buyers. Autonomous ad software runs daily campaign work at a flat fee that does not scale with spend, which suits budgets below either agency's floor. It does not supply a named strategist, creative production, CRO or a performance guarantee.
