Two different jobs

Opteo suggests.
Pace paces.

Opteo scans your Google Ads accounts and hands you a feed of improvements to apply by hand. It’s clean, quick to learn and good at it. It will show you a campaign is off pace. It won’t change the budget to fix it, and it stops at Google. Pace recalculates daily budgets against each account’s monthly target and writes the changes itself, across eight platforms.

Keep Opteo, add Pace

You like the suggestion feed.

If your team works through Opteo’s Google Ads recommendations and ad copy tests each week, keep doing that. Hand the budgets to Pace, and skip Opteo’s budget suggestions on the accounts Pace paces.

Switch to Pace

You mostly used it to watch budgets.

If Opteo is where you check pacing, or your clients now run Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn or Microsoft Ads alongside Google, Pace does the whole job in one place. Budget pacing is what it was built for.

Where they meet

What overlaps. What Pace adds. What stays with Opteo.

Overlaps

  • Negative keywords. Search Lens scores search terms for waste and adds negatives, on Google and Microsoft Ads.
  • Alerts. Sparks flags anomalies on all eight platforms and recommends. It never acts on its own.
  • Account checks. A 0–100 health score with ranked fixes, for Google, Meta and Microsoft.
  • Client reports. Branded, with AI-written commentary and PDF export.

Pro and above.

Pace adds

  • Automated pacing. Daily budgets recalculated and written to the platform, one to three times a day by plan.
  • Overspend protection. The monthly budget is the cap, checked every five minutes, on every plan.
  • Flights and groups. Pace a group of campaigns to its own budget, or to any date range instead of the calendar month (Pro and above).
  • An audit trail. Every change logged with the old value, the new value and the reason.
  • Seven more platforms. Meta, LinkedIn, Microsoft, TikTok, Reddit, Amazon and X.

Stays with Opteo

  • Bid suggestions. Pace moves budgets, not bids.
  • Ad copy tests. Opteo tracks significance and calls the winner. Pace doesn’t test ads.
  • The one-click feed. If reviewing a card at a time suits your team, that stays in Opteo.

Nothing happens in the dark

Every budget change, with the reason

Pace applies the change and shows its working. Old value, new value and reasoning, logged for every change, so “why did spend move?” has an answer you can send.

Opteo questions, answered

What teams ask before they add Pace or switch.

It depends on what you use Opteo for. If your team works through its Google Ads recommendations and ad copy tests every week, keep it. Pace does not manage bids or test ads. If you mostly use Opteo to see whether budgets are on pace, or your clients also run Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn or Microsoft Ads, Pace does that job across eight ad platforms and can replace it.

Yes. Pace sets daily budgets so each account lands on its monthly target. Opteo suggests bid, ad copy and keyword changes that you apply by hand. Give budgets to one tool: on accounts Pace paces, skip Opteo’s budget suggestions.

Both scale with the ad spend you manage. Pace is US$49 a month up to $25K managed spend, US$99 up to $100K and US$199 up to $500K, across all eight platforms, with unlimited users and no contract. Opteo listed $129 a month up to $25K of Google Ads spend, $249 up to $100K and $499 up to $250K as of mid-2026. Check Opteo’s pricing page for current figures.

Yes, around the budget. Search Lens scores search terms for waste and adds negative keywords for Google Ads and Microsoft Ads. The health audit grades Google, Meta and Microsoft accounts against best practice. Sparks flags anomalies. All three are on Pro and above. Every plan can edit Google Ads campaign settings inside Pace. There is no bid management and no ad copy testing.
