Depends

Should I use Business?

Get started with business tools from Meta - business.facebook.com

· 1 month ago

Free Meta tools make sense if you market on Facebook or Instagram — at zero cost the bar is low. Skip them if your audience lives elsewhere; note this verdict rests on thin evidence, so confidence is low.

Confidence

Low. Based on 3 relevant public sources; most of the evidence set (HBR, regional business journals, Oracle CVEs, loan guides) was unrelated to Meta's business tools. Pricing reflects Meta's own materials, not independent verification.
