Triple Whale + Stape costs ~$150–500/mo. Admaxxer is attribution + server-side + analytics, $9/mo.

Who each tool is actually for

Choose Admaxxer if…

• You're on a non-Shopify stack (WooCommerce, headless, custom).
• You want flat, published pricing instead of a sales call.
• You want an AI agent that takes action, not just talks.
• You need Meta + Google ad ops in one surface with your analytics.

Choose Triple Whale if…

• You're a Shopify-only mid-market brand and budget isn't a primary constraint.
• Post-purchase surveys are a core part of your attribution workflow.
• Brand familiarity inside your team outweighs cost savings.

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 the Maxxer AI agent (BYOK) 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.

What Admaxxer does that Triple Whale doesn't

Native ad ops

Connect the Meta Marketing API with a paste token and Google Ads with one-click OAuth. Pause campaigns and adjust their budgets from one surface — without ever opening Business Manager or Google Ads Editor.

Agent that takes action (BYOK)

The Maxxer AI 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. Bring your own API key — Anthropic, OpenAI, or GLM — and pay LLM costs at provider pricing with no markup.

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 $9, Growth $29, Pro $79, Scale $199. Plans sell on tracked events. Unlimited ad accounts (Meta, Google, TikTok, Klaviyo) and unlimited team seats on every plan. No spend-based tiers, no revenue bands, no sales call. Annual billing: 2 months free. 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, then connect Google Ads with one click — approve the adwords scope and pick your account. Credentials 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.

Does Admaxxer match Triple Whale's server-side tracking via Stape?

Yes — without the surcharge. Admaxxer ships server-side conversions forwarding for 5 platforms — Meta (Conversions API), Google Ads (Enhanced Conversions for Web), TikTok (Events API), Pinterest (Conversions API), and Klaviyo (server-side track-events) — included on every plan from $9/mo. Pixel + server fire the same conversion with the same event_id so the platform deduplicates automatically. Typically recovers 20–40% of conversions lost to iOS ATT, Safari ITP, and ad blockers — TikTok specifically claws back about 40% because browser-pixel attribution there is the weakest of any major network. Triple Whale users add Stape for ~$20–200/mo to get the same capability; Admaxxer charges $0 extra.

Can my pixel run on my own domain (first-party CNAME)?

Yes. Point a CNAME like t.yourbrand.com at Admaxxer's Caddy edge. We auto-issue a Let's Encrypt certificate per merchant in seconds, and your pixel + ingest endpoints serve from your own subdomain — not a shared vendor CDN. Cookies are first-party, requests survive Safari ITP and ad-block lists that target known tracker domains. Triple Whale routes this through Stape (paid); Admaxxer includes it on every plan.

How long does setup take?

Most brands are live within an hour. Paste your Meta long-lived token, connect Google Ads with one click (approve the adwords scope, pick your account), 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.

Where can I see Admaxxer's measurement methodology?

All milestone metrics — 5,000 active brands, $1.2 billion in tracked GMV, 92% CAPI match rate across 8.4 million Q1 2026 events — are defined with measurement windows on /methodology. The methodology page is the canonical source for any figure cited in the April 30, 2026 announcement.

Does Admaxxer have a built-in AI agent like Triple Whale's Moby?

Yes — Admaxxer ships the Maxxer AI agent on every plan. Maxxer differs in that operators bring their own AI provider key (BYOK across 10 providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Perplexity, Together, Cohere, and OpenRouter). Admaxxer also ships a Model Context Protocol server compatible with 8 external AI clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, Cline, and Zed.
