A creative strategist, not a spreadsheet. Other connectors give your AI campaign totals; Kleos gives it asset-level performance, fatigue detection, quadrant analysis, and copy-pattern mining — the things a creative manager actually acts on.

See everything, break nothing. Assistant access is read-only by design. Every real change goes through Kleos's staged review and publishes paused — nothing serves or spends until a human approves it in Google Ads.

Suite depth at a tool price. The nearest full-suite alternative starts around $249/month. Kleos is $19/month with three weeks free.
