It is read-only by default until an owner or admin turns on ad launching. Its MCP page says Google and Apple Search Ads are not its core use. Starter starts at $999 a month for brands spending up to $50k a month, with unlimited seats. See [Runneth pricing](/prices/runneth-pricing). ## Polar Operator Polar Operator is the Slack agent from Polar Analytics, a commerce data platform focused on Shopify.

Polar Operator suits Shopify stores. 2. **Read or act?** If you want approval buttons in Slack, look at Ryze or Markifact. If you want read-only first, Runneth and Marxx start there. 3. **Brand or agency?** Agencies need each client kept apart. Ask how each tool separates clients, see [how to set up Slack for an ad agency](/guides/how-to-set-up-slack-for-an-ad-agency). 4. **Budget.** Runneth's tiers follow your ad spend. Ryze and Markifact publish smaller monthly plans. 5. **Test with your own questions.** Ask each tool the same three questions about last week and check the numbers in Ads Manager. ## FAQ ### What is the difference between an AI ad analyst and an AI agent? An AI ad analyst answers questions and writes reports. An AI agent can also take actions, such as pausing an ad. Many tools do both, with permissions you set. ### Can I use ChatGPT as an AI ad analyst? Yes, with a connection to your ad account. See [how to connect Meta ads to ChatGPT](/guides/how-to-connect-meta-ads-to-chatgpt). ### Which one has a free trial? Ryze and Adstellar list 7-day trials. Runneth's MCP page mentions a 14-day trial that starts with a setup call. Check each site before you sign up. --- - [More AI tools articles](https://marxx.ai/library-best/category/ai-tools) - [All articles](https://marxx.ai/library-best)
