Why ecommerce brands choose Admetrics over Exactag

Exactag hands you a scenario plan and a feed for your bid manager. Admetrics takes the same measurement through to profit per order, the ad platforms' bidding and the budget.

Move the budget where you read the number

Exactag plans budget scenarios in its AdSpend Optimizer and pushes attribution results into the bid manager you already run. Admetrics changes campaign and ad set budgets on Meta, Google, TikTok and Bing from the view where you read the numbers. Ad Pilot goes further on Meta. Every hour it scales, cuts or pauses campaigns against your CAC, POAS or new-customer ROAS targets, inside the caps you set, and logs each action with the reason.

See what every order earned

Exactag attributes conversions and revenue, and pulls cost and profit fields in for reporting. Admetrics computes a full P&L for every order and product, from gross revenue through COGS, shipping, payment fees and returns down to CM3 and EBITDA. Each campaign and ad in Admetrics then carries a POAS based on what its orders actually kept.

Feed real buyers back to the ad platforms

Server-side tracking on your own first-party domain records the orders a browser pixel misses. Admetrics sends those conversions back server-to-server to Meta, Google, TikTok, Snapchat, Outbrain and Taboola, and each platform's bidding learns from people who bought. Exactag's push goes to bid management and campaign tools instead.

Let your AI tools query the numbers

Every Admetrics plan includes an MCP server and a Data API. Claude, ChatGPT or your own agents read the same profit-ready numbers as your dashboards and can answer questions like "which creatives brought new customers last month?" without anyone building a report. Exactag offers APIs and file exports to warehouses and bid managers, with no MCP server.
