Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
ads
Create and manage ad campaigns on Meta, Google, TikTok, and more. Spy on competitor ads across ad libraries. Generate ad creatives with AI. Use when you need to launch a campaign, find out why ROAS dropped, see what ads a competitor is running, create ad images, or pull a performance report. Manages campaigns, ad sets, ads, and keywords. Uploads media. Pulls performance metrics with date, placement, and demographic breakdowns. The ad library lets you browse any advertiser's active ads, creative formats, and landing pages. AI studio generates images and copy from a brief. Draft-first: every create starts as a draft, nothing publishes without explicit approval. Supports Facebook, Instagram, Google Search, TikTok, and Reddit. Multi-account for agencies.
ads-agent
AdsAgent turns Claude into your always-on Google Ads analyst. Audit account health, set up new campaigns from scratch, analyze Quality Score and Ad Rank, manage keywords and bids, mine search terms for negatives, generate A/B-tested ad copy, configure tracking, and run bulk operations across hundreds of keywords — all through conversation. No dashboards, no spreadsheets, no clicking through the Google Ads UI. Under the hood: 40+ MCP tools with full read/write access to your Google Ads data, plus three built-in skills — /ads for campaign management, /ads-audit for account health scoring, and /ads-copy for ad copywriting.
