The Ad Spend vs. Supermetrics
Supermetrics moves the data. We turn it into decisions.
| Capability | The Ad Spend | Supermetrics |
|---|---|---|
| Exports ad data to sheets / BI / warehouse | Not its purpose | Yes |
| Permanent record of every account change | Yes | No |
| Explains why metrics moved (causal inference) | Yes | No |
| Continuous detection (1,900+ algorithms) | Yes | No |
| Recommends and executes changes (with approval) | Yes | No |
| Usable without an analyst or BI stack | Yes | No |
Supermetrics is plumbing: it gets your ad data where you want it, across hundreds of sources. You still need a person or a BI stack to interpret it, and nothing records why the account changed. The Ad Spend is the intelligence on top — a permanent change record, continuous detection, causal explanations, and approved action — delivered in the web app and Slack, with no warehouse or analyst required.
