The Supermetrics alternative built to run ads, not just report on them

Yes. Supermetrics MCP is a hosted server (v1.0 shipped April 2026) that is included with every paid Supermetrics package that has Data API access, and it also has a stand-alone 14-day trial. It exposes discovery and data-query tools across 170+ sources, plus beta campaign-management tools. Access is metered in rows per month - 50,000 on Starter, 250,000 on Growth, 500,000 on Pro - and only covers the data sources your package pays for.

Not anymore. Since April 2026 Supermetrics has campaign_create and campaign_update tools for Google Ads, Meta Ads, Microsoft Ads, TikTok Ads, and LinkedIn Ads (plus ChatGPT Ads). They are labelled beta / early access, must be enabled per ad account, launch new campaigns paused, and keep a change log with undo. Pinterest, Amazon, and Reddit Ads are read-only. Blend MCP is read-write on all eight platforms and has been running AI writes on live accounts for 6+ years.

Supermetrics' own documentation is candid: campaign-management features 'disappear intermittently' as a known issue, Performance Max asset groups can fail to reach Google Ads even when the campaign is created, adding keywords can return success without the keywords being added, and Meta video ads aren't fully supported. That is normal for a beta - but it is a beta. Blend MCP was built from the ground up to service paid ads, on top of six years of developing AI for marketing: the write path is the product, not an add-on, and every action is validated before it reaches the platform.

No. Blend MCP is an execution layer: it reads live data from the ad platforms and applies changes through the official APIs, but it does not store data or sync it to destinations. If you need dashboards or a warehouse, keep Supermetrics (or any ELT tool) for that and use Blend MCP for the changes.

Yes. Both are hosted MCP servers with OAuth sign-in, so you can add both to the same Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor configuration. The split we see most often is Supermetrics for reporting, dashboards, and the warehouse, and Blend MCP for daily execution - budget shifts, pauses, launches, and creative uploads across all eight platforms.

Blend MCP, at every size we can construct. Supermetrics Starter is $49/mo ($39 annual) for three data sources, one destination, one user, and three accounts per source. Blend MCP Launch is $29/mo with all eight platforms. Once you run four or more platforms Supermetrics moves you to Growth at $199/mo (seven sources) or Pro at $499/mo (ten sources), while Blend Growth is $79/mo with unlimited ad accounts. Supermetrics does bundle far more - 170+ sources and BI destinations - so it can be worth it if you need the pipeline.

For running ads, Blend MCP: Growth is $79/mo with unlimited ad accounts across all eight platforms, agency account support, and 24/5 human live support. Supermetrics caps accounts per source (3 on Starter, 7 on Growth, 10 on Pro), charges $13/mo per extra account up to a hard cap, and then moves you to an Enterprise quote. For agency reporting - client dashboards, Looker Studio, warehouse feeds - Supermetrics remains one of the strongest options.

Blend MCP covers the eight ad platforms: Google, Meta, TikTok, Microsoft, Pinterest, Amazon, LinkedIn, and Reddit Ads. It does not connect to GA4, CRMs, e-commerce platforms, or data warehouses.
