Pricing
Groas pricing scales with managed ad spend ($999/$2,499/$4,999) and includes a real human strategist with bi-weekly calls. VibeAds is flat-rate software ($20 Pro, $149 Max) regardless of spend. At $5K/mo of ad spend, Groas costs $999/mo. VibeAds Pro covers the same work for $20/mo. The Groas premium pays for the human in the loop, not for the AI.
Where Groas is the better fit
Every Groas tier includes a dedicated PPC expert as your account manager, a private Slack channel, and bi-weekly strategy calls. If you want a person to email when something feels off and you're spending enough on ads that $999/mo is reasonable overhead, that's the Groas pitch. VibeAds is fully self-serve: the agent checks the campaign every 12 hours, you read a Sunday digest, and you click approve on its recommendations (on Max, hands-free mode applies the low-risk ones itself). No human strategist on retainer.
Groas markets five distinct AI agents (Conversion Copy, Budgeting, Search Intent, Opportunity Discovery, Optimization) trained on aggregated profitable ad spend at scale. The training-data scale is genuinely impressive. VibeAds runs three agents (sync, aggregate, optimize) plus a Claude Opus reasoning layer for complex decisions, and our learning loop is per-customer outcome data, not aggregate corpus training. Different bet.
Groas tiers map to $15K, $50K, and $100K+ in monthly ad spend. The pricing assumes you're already spending real money. If you're a $50K/mo ad-spend ecommerce or multi-location franchise where $2,499/mo of management is 5% of spend, Groas is sized for that. VibeAds at $149/mo Max can handle the same volume but isn't built around the higher-touch managed expectations.
Where VibeAds is the better fit
Groas Tier 1 is $999/mo. VibeAds Pro is $20/mo. Same end goal: an AI-driven Google Ads campaign that runs without you babysitting it. The Groas premium pays for the human strategist and the bi-weekly calls. If you don't need either, the math is brutal: $11,748/yr Groas vs $240/yr VibeAds Pro. Even VibeAds Max at $149/mo is $1,788/yr, still 6.7x less than Groas's cheapest tier.
Groas optimizes campaigns + dynamically adapts your existing landing pages. They don't ship 32 industry funnel templates with click-to-call heroes. They don't include call tracking + AI scoring 0-100 + qualified-call upload to Google Ads as offline conversions. They don't include a CRM with lead notes, tags, scoring, and drip emails. VibeAds Pro at $20/mo bundles all of it.
Groas optimizes against the conversion signals you've configured. VibeAds Max closes the loop from form or call to CRM lead to job to paid invoice to a Google Ads conversion. Smart Bidding learns from paid jobs, not just lead counts. Connect your field service software so paid work feeds back into Ads. Groas's published materials don't show a paid-invoice revenue loop like this.
VibeAds Max ships Census-data zip-code targeting: 29,510 zips with population and median-income data, Haversine-distance city-radius search, automatic exclusion of low-population (<3K) and low-income (<$45K) zips, and pre-resolved Google Ads geoTargetConstants. Pick a city and a radius, and the agent picks the zips that have the income + population profile to actually convert for your category. Groas doesn't ship this layer.
Groas is paid from day 1, $999/mo entry. VibeAds Pro is free for 14 days with no card: your campaign is built, published to Google Ads and given a landing page per ad group with conversion tracking, plus funnels, call tracking and the CRM. Test the AI campaign generation before you spend a dollar.
Groas Tier 4 (Enterprise) requires an 'integration call.' VibeAds publishes everything. Pro is $20/mo, Max is $149/mo, extra accounts on Pro are $10/mo each and Max includes 25. No sales-led pricing, no surprise overages.
