Frequently asked
- How much does Northbeam cost?
- Northbeam's pricing page lists four plans. Starter shows $1,500 for brands spending under $1.5M a year on ads (the price line states no period; the FAQ describes Starter as month-to-month and priced by pageviews, for Shopify brands). Professional is $3,500 per month for up to $500K a month in ad spend, on an annual term. Growth and Enterprise show "Custom". Incrementality is an optional add-on on higher plans and MMM+ is an Enterprise add-on, with no prices listed. Prices checked October 2026.
- Is Admaxxer really 95% cheaper than Northbeam?
- Against Northbeam's cheapest listed price, yes: $79/month for Admaxxer Pro against $1,500. The plans are not identical, though. Northbeam's Starter is limited to Shopify brands under $1.5M a year in ad spend and includes Apex and Clicks + Deterministic Views; Admaxxer Pro includes MMM, incrementality and forecast. Compare outputs on your own data during the free trial.
- Does Admaxxer have MMM and incrementality?
- Yes, both are included on Pro at $79/month, alongside forecast, ad-level LTV and creative analytics. On Northbeam's pricing page, incrementality is an optional add-on and MMM+ is an Enterprise add-on.
- What does Northbeam do that Admaxxer doesn't?
- Northbeam connects a longer list of ad platforms (including Microsoft, Snap, Pinterest, Amazon Ads and The Trade Desk), offers Clicks + Deterministic Views and Apex, and sells a dedicated Media Strategist and Slack-based CSM. Admaxxer connects Meta, Google and TikTok. If your spend sits on those other platforms, or you want a managed service, Northbeam is the better fit.
- Can I run Admaxxer from an AI agent, like Northbeam's MCP?
- Yes. Point Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Codex at your workspace over MCP with a token you generate, and read every metric the dashboards show. Ad changes on Meta and Google need your explicit confirmation, and the launch wizard creates new campaigns paused.
- Can I switch from Northbeam without losing data?
- Run both in parallel. Ad-spend history backfills from the ad platforms once you connect them, and revenue is tracked from the day the Admaxxer pixel goes live. Reconcile for a week or two, then cancel Northbeam. 7-day free trial on every plan. No credit card required.
