## FAQ

**What is PaidHelm?**

PaidHelm is a hosted MCP server that lets AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor read and manage Google Ads accounts on your behalf, with you approving every change.

**Who is it for?**

Advertisers, freelancers and agencies who run Google Ads and already use an AI assistant. No coding is required.

**Which assistants are supported?**

Claude (web, desktop, mobile), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Perplexity and any client that supports remote MCP servers.

**How much does it cost?**

Free: 30 tasks/month. Plus $49: 300. Pro $99: 1,500. Max $199: 6,000. Yearly billing saves about 17%.

**What is a task?**

One tool call: one report, one change, one creation step. Checking your plan or generating an upgrade link is free.

**Is it safe to give an AI access to my ads account?**

PaidHelm uses Google OAuth (no password), encrypts tokens, creates every campaign paused, requires explicit IDs for changes and lets you revoke access in one click. You decide what runs.

**Can it launch campaigns without me?**

No. Campaigns are created paused and only enabled when you say so.

**Does PaidHelm replace my Google Ads account or dashboard?**

No. Everything stays in your Google Ads account. PaidHelm is a bridge, not a platform.

**Can agencies use one subscription for many clients?**

Yes. One Google login that can access many accounts gives the assistant access to all of them under a single plan.

**Do you support Meta Ads?**

Meta Ads is in private testing and will join the same subscription. Google Analytics 4 reporting follows.

**Is there a refund?**

7 days after the first charge if you used less than half the plan's tasks.

**Where is my data stored?**

On Cloudflare's network. PaidHelm stores your email, an encrypted token and usage counters, not your reports or campaigns.
