Hawky vs. Superads
Superads Explains Your Ads. Hawky's Agents Run Them.
Superads (superads.ai) is creative analytics for paid social teams: reports across Meta, Google, TikTok, and LinkedIn, AI tagging, a creative score, Superads AI, and competitor tracking. Superads pricing starts at $150 a month, or $125 a month billed yearly (Superads' pricing page, October 2026). Hawky runs always-on AI agents that buy media against your KPI and ship on-brand creatives from your winners, every action logged and reversible.
Where Hawky Wins
What Hawky Does That Superads Doesn't
Agents That Buy Media Against Your KPI
Hawky
Hawky's Performance Agent plans, launches, and optimizes campaigns across Meta, Google, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn 24/7, every move logged with a rollback button. Superads' site describes analysis and insights, not an agent that changes campaigns.
Superads
Superads does not offer this capability. Teams relying on Superads for this need external tools or manual workarounds.
Finished Creatives, Not Just Tags
Hawky
Superads tags and scores your ads, and its homepage says "You do the creating." Hawky's Creative Agent ships on-brand statics from your winners, approval-gated and bound to a Meta or Google ad set.

Competitor Ads That Become Counters
Hawky
Both tools now track competitor ads. Hawky tags the strategy behind each one (hook, framing, offer, CTA) on Meta and Google and feeds it to the Creative Agent, so a counter can be briefed the day a rival launches.

Memory That Compounds
Hawky
FeatherDB keeps your winners, competitor patterns, and every agent decision, so each move informs the next. Pricing follows the same logic: the agent's larger fee is tied to your KPI moving, with a free 30-day pilot on one account.
