Pricing & Bindings
AdsCove Product & Engineering · Last reviewed July 10, 2026
AdsCove pricing is based on what the agent is allowed to do. Usage is unlimited during an active subscription. Binding limits define how many Shopify stores and ad accounts can be active, while an internal safety counter prevents runaway AI-agent loops without becoming a billing meter.
Public subscriptions start at $29/month, and annual billing saves 20%. Eligible channel users may receive a server-verified 30-day Basic trial followed by time-limited special pricing. Adding a referral parameter by itself never changes account access.
Plans
| Plan | Monthly | Outcome | Skill access | Binding limit | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $29 | Optimize ads | Budgets, statuses, negative keywords, Shopify content | 1 store + 2 ad accounts | Single-store sellers |
| Pro | $69 | Launch tests | Ad Library batches, creative upload, landing pages, A/B testing | 3 stores + 10 ad accounts | Active ecommerce operators |
| Agency | $179 | Run clients | Multi-client workflows, client isolation, team keys, priority support | 10 stores + 30 ad accounts | Agencies and portfolio teams |
What counts as an active binding
- One active Shopify store connection counts as one store binding.
- Without a Shopify store, one active Meta or Google Ads connection counts as one ad account.
- One enabled Meta Ads ad account counts as one ad-account binding.
- One enabled Google Ads customer counts as one ad-account binding.
- Imported but inactive accounts remain available for selection and do not consume the active allowance.
- Links between stores and ad accounts provide attribution context and are not charged separately.
- API keys, number of AI clients, and read-query counts are not charged separately.
Internal safety counter
Activity shows internal units. This is a system safety threshold, not a bill. It limits abnormal loops, duplicate calls, and high-frequency failed requests. In normal use, you only need to watch your plan and active binding count.

}FAQ
Can one account be used in multiple AI clients at once?
Yes. Claude, Cursor, Codex, and Windsurf can share one AdsCove account, or you can create separate API keys.
Is there a public free plan?
No. Public subscriptions start with Basic at $29/month. The internal Free state is only a safe fallback for unsubscribed or expired accounts and cannot connect ad accounts.
Do internal protection counts affect my bill?
No. They only prevent agent loops, API abuse, and abnormal retries — they are not a billing basis.
How are bindings counted?
Active Shopify store connections count as store bindings. Meta and Google count as ad accounts in ad-only mode when no Shopify store is connected; store links add attribution context and are not charged twice.
When do upgrades take effect?
For Shopify-installed stores, upgrades are approved in Shopify App Pricing and AdsCove confirms the active subscription through the Shopify Partner API before unlocking the plan.
