Since March 2026, Google aggressively spends 100% of your monthly limit — even with limited ad scheduling. That means up to 38% more spend per active day. Most PPC managers only catch overspend after it's too late.
Three focused features that solve the pacing problem — right inside Google Ads.
Green, yellow, or red indicator next to every campaign. See instantly whether you're on-pace, ahead, or about to overspend. Updates automatically as Google Ads re-renders.
Each campaign shows a projected end-of-month total based on current run rate. No more spreadsheets — the math happens in real time, right where you need it.
Browser notifications when any campaign crosses your threshold. Configurable from 10% to 25%. Checks every 30 minutes so you catch problems before they become expensive.
Budget pacing tools shouldn't cost more than your ad spend.
