You review them in Ads Manager and flip them on. Safe enough: PAUSED = zero traffic.\n\nAdKit takes the opposite route. **Your live account stays untouched until you approve**. Agents write drafts inside AdKit, you review, hit publish, and only then does Meta or Google see anything.\n\nBoth are safe, only difference is the blast radius: If a Pipeboard agent goes rogue, you get 200 paused campaigns to clean up in your account. If an AdKit agent goes rogue, the mess stays inside AdKit.","\u002Fimages\u002Ffeatures\u002Fdraft-system.png","left",{"title":15,"body":16,"image":17,"imagePosition":18},"Who's cheaper? 👀","The models are different. **Pipeboard charges per ad account.** Plans run $29.90 to $199\u002Fmo, and every account past your tier's cap adds $10\u002Fmo. **AdKit is flat:** $29\u002Fmo for one project, $49\u002Fmo for unlimited projects, seats included.\n\nAt one account it's close: Pipeboard Pro is $29.90, AdKit is $29, and AdKit already bundles competitor tracking, the ad library, and creative tools.\n\nThe gap opens up for agencies. Around 25 accounts you're at Pipeboard's $199 Enterprise tier; 40 accounts runs near $350\u002Fmo, 100 accounts close to $950. AdKit stays at $49 flat the whole way.\n\nTwo honest points for Pipeboard: its free tier is permanent (2 accounts, no card), and it's open source if you'd rather fork and self-host.\n\nOne more angle on value: to match what AdKit bundles you'd stack a competitor tracker, a creative tool, and an ad library on top of Pipeboard.

I've lived inside Ads Manager long enough to know which fields you think about and which you set once and forget.\n\nThat's why AdKit's MCP and UI hide the knobs that don't matter and surface the ones that do.\n\nPipeboard starts from a different place. Its founder, Yves Junqueira, spent roughly ten years at Google in SRE and developer tooling, and built two prior dev-facing companies (YourBase, Artell).

Pipeboard exposes Meta, Google, and TikTok ad platform APIs as MCP tools, so your agent can read data and manage campaigns through conversation instead of you clicking around in Ads Manager.",{"term":205,"explanation":402},"How many people can share an account. Pro is single-user. Premium allows up to 5 team members. Only Enterprise ($199\u002Fmonth) unlocks unlimited seats. AdKit includes unlimited seats on every plan with no per-seat fees.",{"title":404,"body":405,"adkitPitch":406},"Is Pipeboard worth the price?","**For a few accounts, Pipeboard is reasonably priced.** Pro at $29.90\u002Fmonth gives you unlimited executions and 3 ad account slots, which is plenty for a solo marketer running one or two brands. The free tier works for testing.\n\nThe model gets expensive once you scale. Because you pay per ad account, an agency adds $10\u002Fmonth for every account past its plan's cap. At 40 accounts that's around $350\u002Fmonth, at 100 closer to $950. Team seats only go unlimited at the $199 tier.\n\n**AdKit is flat: $29\u002Fmonth for 1 project, $49\u002Fmonth for unlimited projects**, with unlimited seats included and no per-account fees. That $49 also bundles competitor tracking, a 500k+ ad library, AI creative, and a draft system. If you're a developer wiring up a single account, Pipeboard is a fine call. If you're an agency, the flat price is hard to beat.","AdKit goes beyond the API bridge. Competitor research, creative generation, and a draft system that reviews changes before they go live.

Every paid plan adds $10\u002Fmonth for each ad account beyond its slot cap.",{"q":412,"a":413},"Does Pipeboard have a free plan?","Yes. Pipeboard offers a free tier with 2 ad account slots and 30 AI tool executions per week. No credit card required. It's enough to test agent workflows but not enough for daily production use. The free tier is the only plan that still caps executions; paid plans are unlimited.",{"q":415,"a":416},"Is Pipeboard cheaper than AdKit?","At one account it's comparable: Pipeboard Pro is $29.90\u002Fmonth and AdKit is $29\u002Fmonth. The difference is the model. Pipeboard charges per ad account, +$10\u002Fmonth for each one beyond your plan, so an agency at 40 accounts pays around $350\u002Fmonth and at 100 accounts near $950. AdKit is a flat $49\u002Fmonth for unlimited projects and unlimited seats, and it bundles competitor tracking, an ad library, and creative tools that Pipeboard doesn't include.",{"q":418,"a":419},"How does Pipeboard's per-account pricing work?","Each paid plan includes a fixed number of ad account slots: 3 on Pro, 10 on Premium, 25 on Enterprise. A slot is one ad account your agent can act on. Connect more accounts than your plan covers and each extra one costs $10\u002Fmonth. For agencies managing many client accounts, that's where the bill grows.",{"q":421,"a":422},"What platforms does Pipeboard support?","Pipeboard supports Meta Ads, Google Ads, and TikTok Ads through MCP tool wrappers around the platform APIs. It's developer-focused: you work with API objects directly rather than a visual interface.",{"title":424,"body":425},"How Pipeboard pricing works","Pipeboard prices around two things: **how many ad accounts you connect** and **how many people share the account**. Every paid plan comes with unlimited executions, so the old weekly call limits are gone. The free tier is the only one still capped, at 30 executions per week.\n\nThe key detail is the **ad account slot**. Each plan includes a fixed number: 3 on Pro, 10 on Premium, 25 on Enterprise. A slot is one ad account your agent can act on. Connect more than your plan covers and each extra account is **+$10\u002Fmonth**.\n\nTeam seats are gated the same way. Pro is single-user, Premium allows up to 5 members, and unlimited seats only arrive at the $199\u002Fmonth Enterprise tier.\n\nSo your bill is mostly a function of account count. A solo marketer on Pro pays $29.90. An agency at 40 accounts is closer to $350\u002Fmonth once the per-account fees stack up; at 100 accounts, near $950.\n\nPipeboard is an **API wrapper, not a marketing platform**. It connects your agent to ad platforms but doesn't include research, creative, or safety tools.
