The short answer

Triple Whale built its reputation on Shopify-native revenue dashboards and post-purchase surveys. Admaxxer covers the same measurement depth — blended MER, cohort LTV, CAPI match rate — for any storefront, adds native Meta + Google ad ops, and ships a Claude agent with destructive-gated tools that can pause or scale campaigns with confirmation. If you're a Shopify-only shop deeply invested in Sonar, stick with Triple Whale. If you're anything else, Admaxxer is the honest choice.

Pricing: flat plans vs revenue-banded quotes

Admaxxer publishes every plan and price. Triple Whale scales pricing with your store revenue — and the quote usually lands via sales call.

What Admaxxer does that Triple Whale doesn't

Native ad ops

Connect Meta Marketing API + Google Ads with refresh tokens. Pause, scale, and launch campaigns from one surface — without ever opening Business Manager or Google Ads Editor.

Agent that takes action

The Claude agent has 6 tools including update_campaign and pause_all_low_roas. Every destructive action requires explicit confirmation and writes an append-only audit log.

CAPI match rate scoring

Hyros-style CAPI quality monitoring per pixel, per ad account. Know exactly when Meta's optimization is flying blind because your server-side signal is degraded.

Flat pricing, no revenue gate

Starter $29, Pro $79, Agency $199. No spend-based tiers, no revenue bands, no sales call. You upgrade when you're ready — and every plan has the same 7-day free trial.

Coming from Triple Whale? Three steps to migrate.

  1. Install the Admaxxer pixel. Paste one snippet into your site head (Shopify, WooCommerce, headless, or custom). Pixel fires alongside Triple Whale's Sonar — no conflict, no double-counting.
  2. Connect Meta + Google. Paste your Meta long-lived System User token and your Google Ads refresh token. Tokens are encrypted AES-256-GCM at rest. Spend, campaigns, ad sets, and creative metadata populate within 60 seconds.
  3. Import historical via APIs. Admaxxer backfills historical spend, impressions, and conversions from the Meta and Google APIs. Revenue backfills from the pixel going forward — reconcile against Triple Whale's numbers before you cancel.

Frequently asked

Does Admaxxer work with non-Shopify stores?
Yes. The first-party pixel is storefront-agnostic — it fires on Shopify, WooCommerce, headless commerce, and fully custom storefronts. Meta and Google connectors work the same way regardless of where your store runs.
Can I migrate from Triple Whale?
Yes. Admaxxer imports historical Meta and Google spend via their native APIs; revenue backfills from the Admaxxer pixel once it's installed. You keep running Triple Whale in parallel until you're confident the numbers reconcile.
Does Admaxxer have post-purchase surveys?
Not in v1. Admaxxer's attribution is deterministic — CAPI match rate, blended MER, and cohort LTV — rather than survey-based. If post-purchase surveys are your primary attribution layer, Triple Whale is still a stronger fit today.
How long does setup take?
Most brands are live within an hour. Paste your Meta long-lived token, connect Google Ads via refresh token, install the pixel, and you'll see campaigns, spend, revenue, and blended MER on the dashboard inside 60 minutes.
Is my ad-account data safe?
Yes. All ad-platform tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest and are never written to logs. Destructive agent actions (pause, budget change, launch) require explicit user confirmation and every action is recorded in an append-only audit log.
Is there a free trial?
7-day free trial on every plan. No credit card required.
