Pricing

Groas at $79/mo is one of the cheapest managed AI services on the market and includes a real human strategist. VibeAds Pro at $20/mo is the cheapest AI-only option and ships campaign generation + funnel + CRM + call tracking that Groas doesn't include. Different bets: Groas pairs AI with a human; VibeAds replaces the human with deeper product.

Where Groas is the better fit

We're not pretending VibeAds is better in every situation. Here's where they win:

A real human in the loop

Groas pairs AI agents with a dedicated account manager and bi-weekly strategy calls. If you want a person to email when something feels off - and you're willing to pay $79/mo for that touch - Groas is built for it. VibeAds is fully self-serve. The agent runs autonomously, you read a Sunday digest, and you click approve on bigger decisions.

Optimization-only at a flat rate

If your campaign + landing pages + call tracking are already in place and working, Groas slots in as the optimization layer without trying to rebuild your stack. $79/mo flat doesn't scale with ad spend either. For a focused 'just optimize what I have' use case, that's clean.

Where VibeAds is the better fit

We build the campaign, not just optimize it

Groas optimizes what you already have. If you don't have a campaign yet - or your existing one was built generically - Groas can't help you start fresh. VibeAds generates a category-specific campaign in under 60 seconds: keywords, ad copy, ad groups, negative keywords, and a funnel landing page, all wired to Google Ads tracking.

The funnel is included

Groas dynamically adapts your existing landing page text to the search query. VibeAds ships 30 industry funnel templates per category - click-to-call hero above the fold, instant pricing range, same-day availability check, emergency hybrid template for intent-priority-1 ad groups (burst pipe, locked out, no AC). GTM + GA4 + conversion tracking auto-provisioned.

Call tracking + AI scoring 0–100

Groas doesn't track calls. Most local service leads come by phone, so without call tracking + qualified-call upload to Google Ads, Smart Bidding never learns which keywords drive real customers. VibeAds includes call tracking + AI scoring 0–100 + auto-upload to Google Ads on Pro at $20/mo.

Cheaper, even on the upgrade tier

Groas $79/mo includes managed service. VibeAds Pro $20/mo replaces it for self-serve users. Even Max at $149/mo (hands-free + Jobber revenue loop + white-label reports) is reasonable next to Groas + a separate call tracking tool ($79 + $145 CallRail = $224/mo).

Closed loop on paid invoices

VibeAds Max integrates with Jobber and uploads paid invoices back to Google Ads via gclid. Smart Bidding learns which keywords drive paying customers, not just leads. Groas doesn't ship this loop.

Free tier to test

Groas is paid from day 1. VibeAds has a forever-free tier (1 campaign lifetime, push to Google Ads included). Test the AI campaign generation + funnel before paying anything.

FAQ

Groas has a human account manager. VibeAds doesn't. Isn't that worth the extra $59/mo?+
Depends on what you want. If you want someone to email when you're confused, yes. If you want the tool to handle 95% of decisions autonomously and surface the remaining 5% for your approval, VibeAds Max does that with the same kind of strategic decisions a human AM would make - bid adjustments, negative keywords, budget reallocation, ad copy tests - plus 48-hour auto-rollback on every change. The Sunday digest tells you what fired and lets you reverse anything with one click.
Will Groas's AI agents perform better than VibeAds's because they have human oversight?+
Probably similar on the optimization side. Both apply industry-standard PPC plays (negative keyword mining, bid modifiers, search term cleanup). The bigger gap isn't optimization quality - it's what they don't do. Groas needs you to bring the campaign + the funnel + the call tracking. VibeAds builds those in addition to optimizing them. If you're starting fresh, that's the multiplier.
I already have a campaign running. Should I switch to VibeAds or use Groas?+
If you're happy with your campaign structure and just want optimization, Groas is the cleaner add-on. If you want to consolidate (drop your CallRail subscription, replace your landing page tool, get drip emails + CRM in one place), VibeAds replaces 3–4 line items. Run the math on your current stack.
Does Groas build landing pages?+
Per their site, Groas dynamically adapts your existing landing page based on the search query - they don't build new pages from scratch. VibeAds ships 30 funnel templates per service category (plumber, HVAC, dentist, roofer, etc.) and one is created automatically when you publish a campaign.
Does Groas integrate with Jobber for revenue tracking?+
Per their public materials, no. VibeAds Max has a Jobber webhook integration that listens for INVOICE_PAID and uploads the revenue back to Google Ads as an offline conversion tied to the original gclid. Smart Bidding then optimizes for revenue dollars, not lead count.
What does 'no lock-ins' mean on Groas? Same with VibeAds?+
Both let you cancel anytime. The campaigns + ad groups + keywords + ad copy live on your own Google Ads account. Whichever tool you pick, when you cancel, your Google Ads structure stays. The tool just stops running optimization on top of it.
Free trial?+
Groas is paid from day 1. VibeAds has a forever-free tier - 1 campaign lifetime, full feature access including Google Ads push, funnels, and call tracking.
