The HYPD alternative that launches, not just audits
HYPD (hypd.ai) connects Claude and ChatGPT to Google Ads, Meta, GA4 and Merchant Center to audit, report and research, read-only by default. AdKit connects the same agents to 7 ad platforms and lets them draft full campaigns you publish in one click. On top of that, 1M+ ads to browse, competitor tracking, and a creative studio.
The short version

|---|---|---|

| What your agent can do | Draft and publish campaigns on 7 platforms, track competitors and their ads, browse 1M+ ads, generate visual creatives. | Read and analyze Google Ads, Meta, GA4 and Merchant Center.

None of it on the free tier. |
| Who is it for? | Marketers, founders & agencies who want the full ads workflow: research, create, launch, manage. | Freelancers and agencies running client Google Ads and Meta accounts who want reporting, audits and per-client permissions inside Claude or ChatGPT. |

"My agent analyzed my account using Adkit, found what to optimize, and drafted all the changes on its own. I only had to click 'Approve'. The first 30 minutes already saved me 8 hours of work."

The complete comparison
HYPD reads your account, AdKit runs it
HYPD is read-only by default, per its own docs. It connects Claude or ChatGPT to your Google Ads and Meta accounts, runs Google Ads queries (GAQL) directly. It ships 120+ prompt templates for audits and reports; their testimonials mention 40 and 50 page audits. Their homepage FAQ also mentions an Agent Mode beta that takes actions with approval on each one, while their docs still describe HYPD as read-only.
AdKit goes the other way. Your agent drafts the whole campaign on Meta, Google, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, X or Microsoft, you review it in the dashboard, and one click publishes. They read Google deeper than we do; we publish on 7 platforms today.
HYPD hands you a to-do list. AdKit hands you a draft.
Search-side data vs ad-side data
HYPD wins here on Google search research: live SERP results for any keyword, Google Shopping price and seller data, Lighthouse landing-page audits, and the paid and organic domains competing on your keywords. It also reads GA4 and Merchant Center, which AdKit does not connect at all. Both tools do Google keyword research.
AdKit's research is about the ads themselves. 1M+ tracked ads across Meta, Google and LinkedIn, drop-in tracking of any competitor by URL, alerts when they launch something new, a swipe file, and hook and transcript breakdowns of the creatives. HYPD's Google and Meta ad library lookups are on-demand, with nothing tracked over time.
Keyword and landing page questions: HYPD. What competitors are running: AdKit.
Ad copy vs ad creative
HYPD generates text: headlines, descriptions and keyword ideas from your account data and, since April 2026, from any landing page it can fetch. No image generation and no ad cloning.
AdKit Studio makes the images too. Generate static ads, clone a competitor's ad with your brand, write a creative brief, or hand it a reference image and get variations back. Copy is the easy half.
Headlines from HYPD, finished ads from AdKit.
Client permissions vs client scale
HYPD wins here on client permissions today. You set read or write access per user and per account, save client context so the agent knows which account it is working on, and every action lands in an audit log. AdKit permission scoping is still marked "Soon".
AdKit built breadth first. Google manager (MCC) accounts work, where HYPD's docs say "Use an advertiser account, not an MCC" and tie each chat session to a single advertiser account. One AdKit project per client, unlimited projects, and 7 platforms inside each.
If your 20 clients each need their own permission set today, HYPD. If your 20 clients each run five platforms, AdKit.
HYPD bills per ad account, AdKit per project
HYPD is cheaper to start. A free tier covers one ad account forever, and the first paid tier is $22.99 (€19.99) a month for three. AdKit has no free tier, only a 7-day trial.
HYPD bills per connected ad account, and the ceilings jump by tier: 50 accounts on the $119.99 plan, then account 51 pushes you to $279.99. The free tier also strips out every research source, so Keyword Planner, SERP and competitor data start at the paid tiers.
Cheaper to start, pricier to grow. AdKit is $29 for one project or $49 for unlimited, with MCP, CLI, ad library, Studio and unlimited calls on both.
"Now I can use my AI agent for monitoring competitors, creating static ads, publishing them, and analyzing their performance. This has 10x'd my capabilities to iterate on ads."

Find what's best for you
Pick AdKit if you launch ads, not just report on them.
Your day ends with campaigns live, not a PDF. The agent drafts, you approve, it publishes.
You run more than Google and Meta. TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, X or Microsoft are on your list too.
You want the agent to make the image, not just the headlines and descriptions HYPD writes.
You manage clients through a Google manager (MCC) account, which HYPD's docs tell you not to use.
Founders and agencies who run more than Google and Meta, and want the agent to launch, not just report.
Pick HYPD if your week is Google audits and client reports.
Your questions are about Merchant Center feeds and Shopping. Product disapprovals, price competitiveness, who else sells the product.
You want GA4 attribution and landing-page audits inside the same chat as your Google Ads data.
You need per-user, per-account permissions and an audit log today, not soon.
You want to start free on one account and pay per account as you grow.
If that's you, HYPD is the better pick.
"Loving AdKit! It works flawlessly with my Claude Code setup, and the value is fantastic. I came from another tool and not only does it save me money, there's basically no trade-off for what I need, and the support is 10/10. Definitely recommend!"

A word from the founder
Hi there 👋 I'm Nico, the founder of AdKit 😄
Before building startups, I was a media buyer. I managed over $1,000,000 in Ads, sold two startups grown with ads, and helped 1,000+ makers learn Meta Ads through my online guides.
I love ads but... it involves a lot of repetitive, boring work 😩 And I hated every second of it. So I built AdKit to fix that.
To let me and other marketers focus on the fun parts: the strategy, the thinking, the creativity. And not have to waste my time clicking around in buggy interfaces.
It's the app I always dreamed of, and I hope you'll like it too 😀
