Best Lapis AI alternatives in 2026
Lapis (trylapis.com) is an AI ads platform from Y Combinator's Fall 2025 batch whose YC listing reads "AI that creates and runs ads, end-end" for DTC and SaaS businesses. It is three products on one engine: ChatSense places your brand as a sponsored result inside ChatGPT conversations, OmniSense turns a brief into ad creative for Meta, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok and Reddit, and RapidDomain builds a landing page matched to each campaign angle. Read on its own pricing page on 18 October 2026: one self-serve plan, Basic at $99 a month with 25 credits, Google, Meta and LinkedIn, competitor tracking and performance forecasts; a 14-day trial with no card; 20% off on annual billing. Running the campaigns for you, the RapidDomain landing pages and the ChatGPT ads are on two managed plans that are priced after a demo.
This page is about Lapis the ads platform, not the gemstone. People looking for an alternative usually want one of four things: a price they can read before a sales call; ads inside ChatGPT without a managed contract; more ad creative for less money; or the landing page and the search campaign handled together. If you want ads inside ChatGPT run for you, or a strategist running Meta, Google, LinkedIn and Reddit campaigns with a landing page for every keyword, Lapis's managed plans are built for exactly that, and none of the four below does that whole job. AgentCeres is the pick for the last of the four: it builds and hosts the page, then runs the Google Search campaign that sends people to it.

The shortlist
Uplane
Top pickAnother Y Combinator Fall 2025 company, pitching "the AI marketing team that runs your ads": hundreds of on-brand ads with matching landing pages, run on Meta, Google and TikTok, with budget moved toward what performs.
Pros- Landing pages matched to each ad, the same idea as Lapis's RapidDomain
- TikTok is one of the three channels it runs, alongside Meta and Google
- Moves budget between channels toward the ads that perform
Cons- No published price: uplane.com/pricing returned a 404 on 18 October 2026 and every route ends in a demo request
- Its homepage says nothing about ads inside ChatGPT
- Paid ads only — no search, content or social work around them
- Pricing:
- No published price — demo first
- Best for:
- Advertisers already spending on Meta, Google and TikTok who want ads and landing pages made at volume and accept a sales call
Adspirer
An AI paid-media manager you talk to from inside ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Cursor or Codex, working across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Amazon and ChatGPT Ads.
Pros- ChatGPT Ads is one of its six platforms, self-serve — no managed contract to get there
- A free tier of 15 tasks a month on all six platforms, with no card
- Priced by the tasks its agents do, never as a percentage of your ad spend
Cons- You steer it from your AI chat, so the media buying is still your job
- Landing pages and websites appear only on its custom Agencies & Enterprise plan
- Paid media only; its integrations stop at GA4 and Klaviyo
- Pricing:
- Free (15 tasks/mo); paid from $49/mo
- Best for:
- People already working in ChatGPT or Claude who want to run ads on six networks, ChatGPT included, by asking
AdCreative.ai
An AI ad-creative generator — banners, product photoshoots, videos and UGC-style ads — with creative scoring and competitor insights; one of the tools Lapis's own blog compares itself with.
Pros- A cheaper way to get creative in volume: plans start at $39 a month
- Video and UGC-style ads as well as static banners
- A 7-day free trial with 10 credits to test the formats
Cons- It makes the creative; its pricing lists no campaign running and no landing pages
- The entry plan is 20 credits a month for one brand, so volume costs a higher tier
- The plan grid mixes monthly, quarterly and yearly prices, so read the toggle before you buy
- Pricing:
- From $39/mo (20 credits, 1 brand)
- Best for:
- Teams that already run their own campaigns and need more ad creative, faster
AgentCeres
AgentCeres — the AI Growth Officer — is a managed AI marketing team whose Ads agent runs Google Search campaigns for a page the team builds and hosts for you, next to SEO, GEO, social and content agents.
- Growth Officer
- Research agent
- SEO agent
- Social media agent
- Ads agent
- Influencer agent
- Launch & PR agent
- GEO agent
- Community agent
- Customer feedback agent
Pros- Runs the Google Search campaign from our own account for a page you host with AgentCeres, so there is no Google Ads account to set up
- Builds, publishes and hosts the landing page itself, then shows enquiries, WhatsApp taps and sales against the ads
- Connects to the Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, Apple Search Ads and ChatGPT Ads accounts you already run
- A free plan, a 14-day trial with no card, then $39 or $99 a month; ad spend comes from a separate balance
Cons- Managed campaigns are Google Search only — no managed Meta, LinkedIn, Reddit or ChatGPT campaigns
- Nothing tunes a live campaign on a timer: an in-plan change, such as pausing a keyword, happens when you ask for it
- No studio for ad creative in volume and no full-page A/B tests
- Pricing:
- Free plan; $39–$99/mo, plus ad balance
- Best for:
- Small businesses that need the page and the search campaign, not only the ads

If ChatGPT ads are why you are here, two things we learned connecting ChatGPT Ads accounts to AgentCeres. The key comes from ChatGPT's own Ads Manager and belongs to one ad account; a developer key from platform.openai.com is rejected, and OpenAI's error message for that case sends you back to the developer key page, which is the wrong place to look. And whether you can advertise is decided by where the advertiser account is, not where the person running it sits — an agency anywhere can manage an eligible advertiser's account. Lapis puts ChatGPT ads on a managed plan; Adspirer reaches the same platform self-serve; AgentCeres connects to an account you already hold, and in any account you connect, every change is a card you approve. On the campaigns we run for you, AgentCeres never spends money you haven't approved. Inside a plan you approved it can pause, lower a budget or drop a keyword on its own; anything that would spend more or reach new people waits for your approval. See how that works on our AI ads manager page and the Ads agent.
How we checked. Read on 18 October 2026: trylapis.com (home and pricing), docs.trylapis.com, Lapis's Y Combinator listing, uplane.com (home, and its pricing address, which returned a 404), adspirer.com/pricing and adcreative.ai. One thing to ask Lapis before you buy: its pricing page shows a single self-serve plan, Basic at $99 with Google, Meta and LinkedIn, while the FAQ on its homepage still quotes Basic at $99 and Pro at $599 and says Google comes only with Pro. Two pages on the same site disagree about which plan includes Google. If you are weighing ads-only tools, see our Uplane alternatives and Opus Growth MCP alternatives.

FAQ
- How much does Lapis cost?
- Read on 18 October 2026, Lapis's pricing page lists one self-serve plan, Basic at $99 a month with 25 credits, Google, Meta and LinkedIn, a 14-day free trial with no card, and 20% off on annual billing. Its two managed plans — Traditional Ads for Meta, Google, Reddit and LinkedIn, and ChatGPT + LLM Ads — are priced per account after a demo, and they are where the campaign running, the RapidDomain landing pages and the dedicated strategist sit. Ad spend is billed separately. The FAQ on its homepage also mentions a $599 Pro plan that the pricing page does not show, so confirm the current plans with Lapis.
- Is AgentCeres an alternative to Lapis for ads inside ChatGPT?
- Only partly. AgentCeres does not run ChatGPT campaigns for you. It connects to a ChatGPT Ads account you already hold, reads how it is doing and proposes changes, and every change in a connected account is a card you approve. The campaigns it runs itself are Google Search campaigns for a page you host with AgentCeres. If you want ChatGPT ads run for you, that is Lapis's ChatGPT + LLM Ads managed plan; if you want to run them yourself by asking an AI assistant, Adspirer lists ChatGPT Ads among its six platforms and has a free tier.
