Do I need a creative tool or a campaign tool?
A creative tool answers "what should the ad look like?". AdCreative.ai lists ad creatives, product photoshoots, fashion photoshoots, AI video, UGC videos and ad copy, plus Competitor Insights and a Compliance Checker on its higher plans.[1] You still upload the results, build the campaigns, set budgets and watch performance.
A campaign tool answers "where does the money go?". RunAds reads your site and account, plans campaigns, writes the ads and images they need, and stops for your approval. After launch, the agent sends budget and bid changes as cards, and Ad Grades scores each ad so weak ones get replaced.[3] Meta Ads opened to every RunAds account in November 2026: connect a Meta ad account and Mission Control plans and launches Meta campaigns, with Meta spend metered on the same credits.
If your bottleneck is creative volume for Meta and display, with lots of sizes and video, AdCreative.ai does more of that than RunAds. If your bottleneck is that campaigns are not built or not managed, a creative tool does not fix it.

RunAds has no creative plan; AI is unlimited on every plan, and you pay for the ad spend the agent manages: credit packs from $25, used at 5 credits per $1 of Google ad spend: 4 above $10,000 a month, 3.5 above $100,000, 3 above $1,000,000.[2]
Which fits you?
- AdCreative.ai if you need many creative variations, product shoots or video, and someone else runs the campaigns.
- AdCreative.ai if you want to score creative before it runs.
- RunAds if you need campaigns built, launched and optimized on Google, and now Meta.
- Both if you want heavy creative production and an agent running the spend.
