Pricing & Bindings

AdsCove Product & Engineering · Last reviewed August 5, 2026

AdsCove pricing is based on what the agent is allowed to do. Free starts with one read-only Google or Meta ad account; paid plans add more accounts and approval-gated writes. Shopify is optional, while an internal safety counter prevents runaway AI-agent loops without becoming a billing meter.

Start free without a card. Paid subscriptions are processed by Stripe, Basic starts at $29/month, and annual billing saves about 20%. Eligible channel users may receive server-verified trial access and time-limited special pricing; adding a referral parameter by itself never changes account access.

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?

Yes. Free includes one Google or Meta ad account for read-only analysis, with no card required. Shopify is optional.

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 does a paid subscription take effect?

A new paid subscription updates access only after Stripe confirms payment. The Billing Portal handles invoices, payment methods, and cancellation. Switching an active paid tier is temporarily unavailable; cancel at period end, then subscribe to the new tier.
