PowerAds AI alternative: Meta ads from $39, with the price of each ad up front

Last verified:

PowerAds AI starts at $149 a month in creation coins, never says what a banner or a video costs in coins, and lists paid Meta campaigns only on its $599 plan.

AdMakeAI makes Facebook and Instagram ads from $39 a month and shows what each one costs before you click: a Fast ad is 2 credits, $0.16 on Starter.

The button says 30 credits before you click, and exactly 30 leave the balance at once for all 15 Fast ads.

PowerAds is built for small local businesses whose owner wants the marketing done and would rather text than learn Ads Manager. Message it in plain English and it writes posts, designs banners, builds landing pages and whole websites, makes Reels with AI presenters, and schedules it all to your social accounts. Anything that costs money waits for your tap on an approval card.

Bars drawn to scale by monthly price, which is what PowerAds' checkout charges (monthly only, shown there as discounts from $298, $748 and $1,198). Coins and features from its plan cards, checked October 18, 2026; each plan includes the one above it. AdMakeAI Starter is $27.30 a month billed yearly.

The coins are where planning gets hard. PowerAds doesn't publish what a banner, a Reel or a landing page costs in coins anywhere on powerads.ai or its checkout, so you can't tell whether 15,000 coins is 30 banners or 300. The agent shows the cost on an approval card before it spends, and there is no trial listed to find out first.

Meta ads are the other catch. PowerAds' own FAQ says the agent "runs paid campaigns on Meta and Google Ads", with no plan named, but the plan cards and the checkout list Meta campaigns on the $599 plan only, and Google Ads on no plan card. If Meta is why you're looking, ask the agent which plan covers it before you pay. Going by the cards, it's $599 a month before a dollar of ad spend.

In AdMakeAI, the price is on the button

Every button in AdMakeAI shows its cost before you click: 2 credits for a Fast image ad, 8 for Sharp, 20 for Max, 5 for a Fast video clip. On the $39 Starter plan that's $0.16, $0.62, $1.56 and $0.39, so a month of ads is a number you can work out before it starts. 500 credits is 250 Fast ads, or 62 Sharp, or any mix with video.

To decide what to make, the Meta Ad Library research shows which ads rival brands are running and tracks them by brand and keyword. Then one brief in Ad Set Studio gives you up to 15 ads to test, like the set above.

AdMakeAI doesn't run your campaigns. It puts finished ads in the ad set you pick, paused, 3 credits each from the $39 plan, and you launch them from Ads Manager.

If texting an agent is what you liked about PowerAds, our AI ad agent works the same way in your browser: tell it what you need and it researches, makes the ads and drafts the Meta campaign for you to check. Claude can do the same through our MCP server.

Keep PowerAds, or switch for Meta ads you can price

Keep PowerAds if you

  • Want the marketing done for you from a WhatsApp chat, approving each job with a tap
  • Want an agent to build and run your paid campaigns, Google Ads included
  • Need organic posts scheduled to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and YouTube
  • Need landing pages or a whole website as well as ads

Switch to AdMakeAI if you

  • Need Meta ads now and don't want to pay $599 for the plan that lists Meta campaigns
  • Want a price per ad instead of a coin balance you can't convert
  • Would rather launch and manage your own campaigns in Ads Manager

If you want a do-it-all marketing subscription for well under $149, Holo AI is the closest match; here is how Holo compares with AdMakeAI.

PowerAds AI questions: price, coins, trial, Facebook ads

How much does PowerAds AI cost?

Growth is $149 a month, Ultra $299 and Ultra Max Agency $599, billed monthly, each paid as an allowance of creation coins (15,000, 33,200 and 75,000).

What are PowerAds creation coins?

The allowance PowerAds spends when the agent makes something, such as a banner, a video or a landing page. The site does not say how many coins each one takes; the agent shows the cost on an approval card before it spends.

Does PowerAds AI have a free trial?

No trial or free plan is listed on PowerAds' pricing section or checkout. A $1, 3-day trial on an older Starter plan still appears in PowerAds' app listing, but that plan is not on the checkout. AdMakeAI gives you 30 free credits at signup to try it on your own brand, no card.

Is PowerAds AI the same as PowerAdSpy?

No. PowerAds AI (powerads.ai) is a marketing agent that makes and publishes content from a WhatsApp chat. PowerAdSpy (poweradspy.com) is a database for browsing other brands' ads, and the 4.5-star Trustpilot page that comes up for "PowerAds" is its. If that is what you wanted, AdMakeAI's Facebook Ad Library search shows any brand's live Meta ads, free and without a login.

Can PowerAds AI run Facebook ads?

Its FAQ says the agent runs paid campaigns on Meta and Google Ads. Its plan cards and checkout list Meta campaigns only on Ultra Max Agency, $599 a month, so ask the agent which plan you need before paying.

What is a cheaper PowerAds AI alternative for Meta ads?

AdMakeAI Starter, $39 a month for 500 credits. A Fast image ad costs 2 credits ($0.16), a Sharp one 8 ($0.62), and sending a finished ad to your Meta ad set as a paused draft costs 3. It makes ads only: no organic posts, landing pages or Google campaigns.
