Target audience
Google Ads accounts that want autonomy with a spend-share pricing model. Not ideal for: Microsoft/Meta-first advertisers (Google-centric), or government RFP/bid-management buyers who confuse the name with contracting software.

Pricing notes
Verified August 2026 at https://bidhelm.com/pricing and https://bidhelm.com/billing. Starter: $79/mo + 3% managed ad spend (1 ad account, 1 seat). Growth: $199/mo + 3% (3 accounts, 3 seats, PMax/Shopping, higher AI usage). Agency: custom contract. Monthly billing only (no annual). No separate AI usage fees. Older marketing copy citing ~$29/mo + different % is superseded by Aug 2026 billing terms.

Review notes
Context from the listing review and editorial research.
NEW tool. DISAMBIGUATION: BidHelm = Google Ads AI agent at bidhelm.com, NOT government contracting / RFP bid software (e.g. Bidovate, BidBeam). Critical name collision for directory search.
