The Focal column describes public documentation, not a completed account test. “Not established” means the reviewed source does not answer the question.
| What you need | Advarde | Focal |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign operations | Saved drafts, validation, reviewed changes, paused creation and a separate launch review. | Advertises campaign launches, pausing and creative variations. |
| MCP access | Hosted Streamable HTTP MCP with workspace-scoped OAuth or workspace tokens. | MCP is described publicly; install instructions are promised when access opens. |
| Review and approval | Review the proposed change and current draft revision before authorized application. | The MCP page describes confirmation before campaign changes. |
| Measurement | Conversion presets, installation instructions, receipt diagnostics and saved reporting. | Public product navigation includes alerts, reports and a pixel helper. |
| Access and evaluation | Workspace signup; advertiser credentials and eligible account required. | The MCP product page directs visitors to a waitlist. |
Separate the agency engagement from MCP access
A working agency service does not establish that every advertised product is available to self-service customers. Ask for the exact service and software access included in the offer. For an MCP trial, request a real connection and a paused campaign demonstration before planning your operations around it.
- Confirm the MCP access date and supported account.
- Identify the work performed by the agency team.
- Inspect the approval and reporting process offered to your business.
What the Advarde workflow includes
Start by selecting the advertiser account and saving a campaign draft. Validate the creative, destinations and required settings, then prepare the exact version for review. Authorized creation leaves new campaigns paused until a separate launch decision.
The browser workspace retains the work performed through MCP. Conversion setup includes event presets, generated installation instructions and diagnostics for received events. Receipt confirms that an event reached the relevant system; it does not by itself prove advertising attribution.
For recurring creative optimization, a compatible agent host generates later proposals. Once approved, campaign publishing continues on Advarde’s server after the conversation closes.
Compare pricing and the work included
Advarde’s monthly and annual prices are shown below. Annual billing includes 12 months for the price of 10, paid upfront; account and teammate limits stay the same. OpenAI media spend and any paid AI assistant subscription are separate. Compare the selected plan’s account and teammate capacity with the people and accounts you actually need.
For Focal, confirm the current offer directly with the provider. Request software charges, usage allowances, service work, media costs and onboarding requirements separately. A bundled service and a software plan should be evaluated against the same responsibility list. We have not normalized competitor quotes or claimed a lowest price.
| Advarde plan | Monthly software fee (USD) | Annual software fee (USD) | Ad accounts | Users |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EARLYBIRD | $39 | $390 | 1 | 5 |
Evaluate before moving a live workflow
Use one representative campaign for the trial. Record account ownership, the approved brief, the report definitions and who can authorize changes. Keep the existing campaign running only under its existing approved process while you inspect the proposed replacement.
Do not assume campaign history, attribution or approval records transfer automatically between providers. Retain the original records and reconcile any newly created resources before switching your operating process.
