If you’re running a performance marketing agency with hundreds of ad accounts, my first choice would be Optmyzr.

It’s particularly strong when the goal is not just reporting, but actually operating hundreds of accounts at scale.

My shortlist

Why I'd pick Optmyzr for your use case

1. Rules are genuinely useful at agency scale.
You can build conditional strategies and run them automatically across accounts—not just basic "if X, then Y" rules. It supports Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and LinkedIn. help.optmyzr.com

For example:

If CPA > target by 20% AND spend > $500 → reduce bid 10%
If ROAS > target by 30% → increase budget 15%
If campaign is underpacing → reallocate budget
If a keyword spends $X without a conversion → pause it

You can also incorporate external data, such as CRM, margin, inventory or spreadsheet data, into the automation logic. help.optmyzr.com

2. The cross-account layer is exactly what you want with hundreds of accounts.
Its All Accounts Dashboard lets you see performance, pacing, account health and optimization signals across connected accounts rather than logging into accounts individually. help.optmyzr.com

3. Reporting is built for agencies.
You can create reusable report templates, apply them across accounts, combine multiple ad platforms, and schedule delivery. It supports multi-account and cross-platform reporting. www.optmyzr.com

4. It has more sophisticated budget automation.
For example, budget monitors can operate across groups of accounts, while its budget tools can recommend/reallocate spend based on ROAS, CPA, conversions, etc. help.optmyzr.com

Where I'd consider something else

If you're talking about hundreds of accounts and tens/hundreds of millions in annual spend, I'd also demo Skai and Marin. They're more enterprise-oriented and may make sense if you need very sophisticated portfolio management, forecasting and governance.

But if your agency is, say, 100–500 Google/Microsoft/Meta accounts, and your main pain is:

• bulk edits
• standardized optimization rules
• budget management
• automated monitoring
• account-level alerts
• client reporting
• cross-account visibility
• reducing account-manager headcount/time

…I'd start with Optmyzr.

One important distinction: Google Ads Editor is arguably better for raw one-time bulk structural edits, but it's not an agency operating system. Optmyzr is much more compelling when you want the changes, automation, monitoring and reporting to run continuously across a large account portfolio. www.optmyzr.com

If you tell me roughly how many accounts you have, monthly ad spend, and the platform mix (e.g. 70% Google / 20% Meta / 10% Microsoft), I can give you a much more specific recommendation between Optmyzr, Skai, Marin, Smartly and a custom API/AI stack.

If you’re running a performance marketing agency across hundreds of ad accounts, my first choice would be Optmyzr.

optmyzr.com

Why I’d pick Optmyzr

For your specific use case, it hits the three things you mentioned unusually well:

• Bulk changes across accounts: You can build optimization strategies and apply them across multiple accounts rather than managing each account individually.
• Automated rules: Its Rule Engine supports custom if/then logic, scheduled execution, alerts, and fully automated actions. You can duplicate strategies across accounts. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Reporting at scale: The All Accounts Dashboard and Report Scheduler can generate reports across large numbers of accounts, including combined multi-platform reports. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• Agency-friendly: It supports Google, Microsoft and Amazon Ads, with cross-account dashboards and automation. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Enterprise scale: Optmyzr specifically offers custom dashboards, integrations and workflows for large PPC teams, including migration of existing automation/reporting setups. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

How I'd rank the options

One important distinction: if the hundreds of accounts are predominantly Google Ads, I'd seriously consider building your stack around Google Ads Manager Accounts + Google Ads Scripts/API, potentially with Optmyzr on top. Google itself supports cross-account scripts and manager-level automated rules; manager accounts can have rules operating across up to 1,000 accounts. Google Support Google Support

But if your goal is "give my agency one operating system where account managers can create, deploy, monitor and report on automation without everything becoming a software engineering project", I'd choose Optmyzr.

The setup I'd use for a 100–500+ account agency

Optmyzr → automation/control layer

Google/Microsoft/Meta APIs → platform data/action layer

Looker Studio / Power BI → client-facing reporting layer

Then standardize things like:

• Budget pacing rules
• CPA/ROAS guardrails
• Spend anomaly detection
• Campaign enable/disable rules
• Search-term management
• Bid/budget adjustments
• Performance alerts
• Account health audits
• Weekly/monthly client reports
• Cross-account executive dashboards

The really valuable part is standardizing your agency's "playbook" into reusable rules. Optmyzr's Rule Engine is designed around exactly that—strategies can be duplicated and automated across multiple accounts. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

If you tell me roughly how many accounts you have, what % are Google vs Meta vs Microsoft, monthly ad spend, and whether you have developers, I can give you a much more specific recommendation—including Optmyzr vs Marin vs Skai vs building your own internal system, and what I'd use at 100, 500 and 1,000 accounts.

Google/Microsoft/Meta APIs → platform data/action layer

Looker Studio / Power BI → client-facing reporting layer

Then standardize things like:

For an agency managing hundreds of ad accounts, my first choice would be Optmyzr—especially if your priorities are bulk changes + sophisticated automated rules + agency-grade reporting.

optmyzr.com

Why I'd pick Optmyzr

• Bulk changes: You can apply optimization strategies across accounts rather than manually working inside each Google Ads account. Its Rule Engine supports Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and LinkedIn Ads. Optmyzr Help Optmyzr Help
• Automated rules: This is probably its biggest advantage. You can build if/then strategies such as: - If CPA > target by 20% → reduce bid/budget
• If ROAS > target → increase budget
• If spend > X with zero conversions → pause
• If campaign is pacing behind target → adjust budget
• Alert when budgets, tracking, or performance change
• Cross-account automation: Global strategies can be deployed across multiple accounts, and Optmyzr supports bulk automation of strategies. Optmyzr Help
• Reporting: You can build reusable, branded templates and generate multi-account reports across Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, LinkedIn, and Analytics. Reports can be scheduled and white-labeled. Optmyzr Help Optmyzr Help
• Agency scalability: The important distinction is that it isn't merely a reporting dashboard—it actually lets your team operationalize optimization workflows.

How I'd rank the options

For your particular use case, I'd lean Optmyzr over Skai unless you're operating at a very large enterprise level and need broader media-management capabilities. Optmyzr is particularly focused on hands-on PPC optimization and rule-based automation. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

One important caveat

If Meta is a huge portion of your business, I'd specifically test Optmyzr's Meta automation before committing. It now supports portfolio-level Meta Rule Engine strategies, including things like bulk budget adjustments and pausing non-converting ads. Optmyzr Help

If you're primarily Google Ads, though, I'd be quite comfortable putting Optmyzr at the top of the shortlist.

If you tell me roughly how many accounts you manage (e.g. 100 / 500 / 2,000), your monthly ad spend, and whether it's mostly Google, Meta, or both, I can give you a much more specific recommendation—including which platform I'd use for bulk operations, rules, reporting, and client dashboards.

If you're running a performance marketing agency with hundreds of ad accounts, my first choice would be Optmyzr.

It’s particularly strong if your core needs are bulk execution + automated rules + cross-account reporting, rather than just dashboards.

My ranking

Why I'd pick Optmyzr

Its Rule Engine can make bulk changes across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta, Amazon and LinkedIn, and those strategies can be scheduled to run automatically. help.optmyzr.comhelp.optmyzr.com

More importantly for an agency, you can create global strategies and automate them across multiple accounts, rather than maintaining hundreds of individual rules. help.optmyzr.com

For reporting, its Multi-Account Report functionality can combine Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, LinkedIn and GA data into reports spanning multiple accounts. help.optmyzr.comhelp.optmyzr.com

And you can incorporate external data into rules—for example, CRM data or Google Sheets—to trigger changes in your advertising accounts. That's a big deal if your agency optimizes toward revenue, qualified leads, inventory, margins, etc., rather than just platform conversions. help.optmyzr.com

Where MarinOne is interesting

I'd seriously evaluate MarinOne if you're talking about hundreds/thousands of accounts and sophisticated enterprise operations.

Marin explicitly supports unlimited client accounts and says it is designed for managing hundreds or thousands of smaller advertisers. It also has cross-client reporting, unified grids, bulk editing and Python-based custom automation. www.marinsoftware.com

Its reporting is especially mature: you can run recurring reports across multiple clients and aggregate them into a single report. www.marinsoftware.com

My recommendation for an agency

<50 accounts: Optmyzr
50–500 accounts: Optmyzr is where I'd start
500–thousands + enterprise complexity: evaluate Optmyzr vs. MarinOne
Mostly Google + technical team: Google Ads API/Scripts + your own reporting layer can eventually be more flexible.

One important distinction: if you're looking for a tool that actually makes changes across hundreds of accounts, don't choose based primarily on reporting/dashboard quality. I'd prioritize:

1. Global rules / reusable automation
2. Bulk editing across accounts
3. Preview + approval before changes
4. Change logs / auditability
5. API reliability and account limits
6. External data/CRM inputs
7. Cross-client reporting
8. Budget pacing and automated reallocations

For your use case, Optmyzr is probably the best all-around starting point. Its current feature set is unusually close to the "agency operating system for PPC" you're describing. help.optmyzr.com

If you tell me roughly how many accounts, which platforms (Google/Meta/Microsoft/etc.), and whether you're managing lead gen or ecommerce, I can give you a much more specific Optmyzr vs MarinOne vs custom API stack recommendation, including what I'd automate first.

For a performance marketing agency managing hundreds of ad accounts, my first choice would be Optmyzr.

It’s particularly well matched to your use case because it combines bulk account management + rules/automation + cross-account reporting rather than being primarily a reporting tool.

My shortlist

Why I'd start with Optmyzr

• Bulk changes: Make changes across large numbers of Google/Microsoft accounts without manually entering each account. Its Campaign Automator and other tools are designed specifically around scaling repetitive work. help.optmyzr.com
• Automated rules: Its Rule Engine lets you build custom if/then strategies, apply them across accounts, preview changes, and schedule them. It also supports external data, which is useful if you want rules based on CRM, margin, inventory, etc. help.optmyzr.com
• Cross-account management: You can create portfolio-level strategies and apply them across multiple accounts. help.optmyzr.com
• Reporting: Multi-account reporting can combine Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and LinkedIn data, while scheduled reports can automatically go to clients/team members. help.optmyzr.com
• Agency workflow: Their Account Blueprints let you standardize recurring tasks across multiple accounts—which is especially useful when you're trying to turn agency processes into repeatable SOPs. help.optmyzr.com

When I'd choose something else

MarinOne would be my second choice if you're operating at a very large enterprise scale and want more sophisticated cross-publisher optimization. Marin specifically targets agencies with bulk editing, scheduled changes, automated workflows and cross-client reporting. www.marinsoftware.com

Skai becomes more interesting if your agency is heavily omnichannel—Google/Microsoft + Meta + retail media—and you want algorithmic optimization in addition to rules. It has bulk editing, bulksheets, custom automated actions, portfolio optimization and scheduled reporting. skai.io

What I'd do in your position

If your stack is primarily Google Ads + Microsoft Ads, I'd trial Optmyzr first.

If you're managing hundreds of accounts, I'd evaluate the tools on four specific workflows rather than sitting through generic demos:

1. "Change X across 200 accounts" — how fast/easily can you execute and roll it back?
2. "If CPA > X for 7 days, do Y" — how sophisticated are the rules and what approval/preview/audit trail exists?
3. "Generate 300 client reports every Monday" — how much customization and white-labeling do you get?
4. "Agency-wide dashboard" — can your account managers see their portfolio while you see everything?

One important distinction: Looker Studio/AgencyAnalytics-style tools are better if reporting is your main problem. But if your real pain is "we have hundreds of accounts and too much repetitive account-management work," I'd use an execution/automation platform like Optmyzr as the core system.

If you tell me roughly how many Google/Microsoft/Meta accounts you manage and your monthly ad spend, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and tell you what I'd actually buy.

For an agency managing hundreds of ad accounts, my first recommendation would be Optmyzr.

It’s particularly strong if your requirements are bulk changes + automated rules + cross-account reporting, rather than just bid management.

My shortlist

Why I'd pick Optmyzr

1. Rules are substantially more powerful than native Google rules.
You can build custom if/then strategies, schedule them, duplicate them across accounts, and either have them automatically execute or require review. It can also incorporate external data such as CRM or spreadsheet data into the rules. help.optmyzr.com

For example:

If 7-day CPA > target by 20% AND spend > $500 → reduce budget 15%
If ROAS > target by 30% → increase budget 10%
If spend > $X with zero conversions → pause
If conversion volume drops unusually → alert Slack

That's much closer to an agency-wide operating system than individual account rules.

2. You can deploy the same strategy across many accounts.
Optmyzr specifically supports duplicating and automating Rule Engine strategies across multiple accounts, which is important when you have standardized playbooks across hundreds of clients. www.optmyzr.com

3. Reporting is built around agencies.
You can create a report once and reuse it across accounts, schedule delivery, and produce multi-account/cross-platform reporting. It supports Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, LinkedIn and GA4 data. help.optmyzr.com

4. It has an actual cross-account operating layer.
You can monitor portfolios rather than jumping through individual MCCs, and its automation/alerting can operate across multiple accounts. help.optmyzr.comwww.marinsoftware.com

Where I'd consider Marin

Marin Software is worth evaluating if you're more enterprise/performance-management oriented.

Its Multi-edit functionality lets you change budgets, bids, CPCs, dimensions, etc. across accounts/publishers, with an activity log for auditing. www.marinsoftware.com

I'd lean Optmyzr for an agency, though, particularly if your team wants to build lots of repeatable optimization playbooks without having engineers maintain them.

One important distinction

If by "bulk changes" you mean "I want to change 500 campaigns' settings/copy/URLs/targeting in one operation", I'd actually use:

Optmyzr + Google Ads Editor

Google Ads Editor remains extremely good for raw structural bulk editing, while Optmyzr handles the automation, rules, monitoring, and reporting layer. Optmyzr itself notes this distinction: Editor is excellent for fast structural changes, while Optmyzr adds cross-account intelligence and automation. www.optmyzr.com

If you're managing 100–500+ accounts, that's the stack I'd investigate first.

If you tell me roughly how many Google vs. Meta vs. Microsoft accounts you manage, monthly spend, and whether you need client-facing white-label reporting, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 tools I'd actually demo and what I'd expect to pay for each.

For an agency managing hundreds of ad accounts, I’d put Optmyzr at the top of the shortlist—especially if your core work is Google Ads + Microsoft Ads, with Meta/Amazon/LinkedIn also in the mix.

My ranking

Why I'd start with Optmyzr

Its Rule Engine is particularly relevant to what you're describing. You can create custom if/then strategies, preview changes, and then schedule them across accounts. It supports Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and LinkedIn Ads. help.optmyzr.com

For example, you could build agency-wide rules like:

• Pause keywords when spend > $X and CPA > target
• Increase/decrease budgets based on ROAS
• Flag campaigns spending without conversions
• Detect abnormal conversion drops
• Apply standardized campaign/keyword changes across hundreds of accounts
• Use external CRM/lead-quality data in your rules
• Automatically monitor account changes and alert your team

Importantly, Optmyzr can use external data in its rules, so you aren't limited to the metrics exposed directly by Google Ads. help.optmyzr.com

Reporting is another strong point

You can create a report template once and reuse it across accounts, with scheduled delivery. It supports multi-account and cross-platform reporting across Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, LinkedIn and GA4. www.optmyzr.com

That makes it much more attractive for an agency than cobbling together:

Google Ads Editor + scripts + Looker Studio + spreadsheets + Zapier

Once you're at several hundred accounts, the operational complexity of that stack becomes significant.

When I'd choose Marin instead

Marin Software is the other one I'd seriously demo.

Marin is particularly interesting if you're operating at enterprise/agency scale. It explicitly supports unlimited ad accounts, cross-client reporting, bulk editing across publishers, automated reporting, alerts, custom dashboards, and Python-based automation. www.marinsoftware.com

I'd lean Marin over Optmyzr if your agency has a substantial engineering/ops team and you want to build your own automation layer on top of the platform/API.

My recommendation for your situation

If you're asking because you're trying to replace a bunch of manual work across hundreds of client accounts, I'd do this:

1. Demo Optmyzr first.
Focus the demo specifically on Rule Engine, cross-account operations, bulk edits, account segmentation, automation safeguards, and reporting.

2. Demo Marin second.
Ask them to demonstrate the same exact workflows rather than giving you a generic platform demo.

3. Don't evaluate them primarily on bid optimization.
For an agency at your scale, I'd care more about:

• Can I make a change across 300 accounts safely?
• Can I apply different logic to different client/account groups?
• Can I preview/approve changes?
• Can I roll back or audit changes?
• Can rules use our proprietary KPIs?
• Can my team manage hundreds of automations without chaos?
• Can one reporting template serve hundreds of clients?
• Can I export data to our warehouse?
• Can we use APIs/scripts when the native functionality isn't enough?

Optmyzr is my default pick; Marin is the one I'd benchmark it against.

If you tell me roughly how many Google / Meta / Microsoft accounts you manage, monthly ad spend, and whether you need true cross-platform automation or primarily Google Ads, I can narrow this down considerably—and tell you what I'd actually buy for a 100-, 500-, or 1,000-account agency.

For an agency managing hundreds of ad accounts, my first choice would be Optmyzr.

It is unusually well aligned with the three things you mentioned: bulk execution, automated rules, and agency-level reporting.

My shortlist

1. Optmyzr — my recommendation

Optmyzr's Rule Engine lets you build conditional strategies and run them automatically across Google, Microsoft and Amazon Ads. You can also incorporate external data, such as CRM or spreadsheet data, into rules. www.optmyzr.com

For an agency, the bigger advantage is the cross-account layer. Its All Accounts Dashboard lets you monitor accounts, budgets, performance and optimization signals centrally. help.optmyzr.com

Reporting is also strong: you can create templates once, reuse them across accounts, schedule delivery, and produce multi-account/multi-platform reports covering Google, Microsoft, Meta, LinkedIn, Amazon and GA4. www.optmyzr.com

I'd particularly consider it if you want workflows like:

"Across all client accounts, if CPA is > 120% of target for 7 days AND spend > $500, reduce budget 15%, notify the account manager, and log the change."

Or:

"Every Monday, identify campaigns pacing >110% of monthly budget and automatically adjust them according to client-specific rules."

That's where it becomes substantially more useful than just Google Ads Editor.

2. Marin — if you're truly enterprise-scale

Marin Software would be my second choice, and potentially #1 if you're managing hundreds/thousands of accounts across multiple publishers and sophisticated data sources.

Marin specifically markets unlimited client accounts, cross-client reporting, bulk editing across publishers, automated workflows, Python scripting, APIs and data-warehouse integrations. www.optmyzr.comhelp.optmyzr.comwww.optmyzr.comwww.marinsoftware.comadalysis.com

The distinction I'd make is:

• Optmyzr: better PPC practitioner/optimization workflow.
• Marin: better if you're building an enterprise-scale marketing operations layer.

3. Adalysis — excellent if you're mostly Google/Microsoft

Adalysis is worth evaluating, particularly if your agency is heavily search-focused.

It supports bulk updates, cross-account monitoring, automated rules, budget automation, 100+ automated audits, alerts and white-label reporting. adalysis.com

I'd put it ahead of Marin if your operation is primarily Google + Microsoft PPC and you want a relatively focused PPC optimization product rather than a broader enterprise platform.

One important caveat

If "bulk changes" is your #1 requirement—e.g. changing thousands of ads/keywords/settings at once—I'd actually use a hybrid stack:

Optmyzr + Google Ads Editor + scripts/API

Google itself supports cross-account scripts through an MCC, including large-scale customized changes and reporting. support.google.com

That gives you:

• Editor → massive structural edits
• Optmyzr → no-code rules, optimization, monitoring and reporting
• Scripts/API → proprietary agency automations that aren't possible in the UI

For a performance agency with hundreds of accounts, that's the stack I'd investigate first.

If you tell me roughly (1) Google vs Meta vs Microsoft account mix, (2) number of accounts, (3) monthly managed spend, and (4) whether you have developers, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing, API limits, white-label reporting, automation depth, and account scalability.

For an agency managing hundreds of ad accounts, my first recommendation would be Optmyzr.

It’s particularly well suited to the combination you described: bulk changes + automated rules + cross-account management + client reporting.

My shortlist

Why I'd pick Optmyzr

1. Rules across accounts

Its Rule Engine lets you build conditional strategies and run them on a schedule. Importantly, it isn't limited to simple "if X > Y, do Z" rules—you can incorporate external data and more sophisticated logic. help.optmyzr.comhelp.optmyzr.com

For example:

If CPA > target by 20% AND spend > $500 AND conversion volume > 5 → decrease bids 10%.

Or:

If a campaign is pacing >110% of monthly budget → reduce budget according to predefined guardrails.

You can apply these strategies across large groups of accounts rather than rebuilding them individually.

2. It goes beyond Google

Optmyzr currently supports Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and LinkedIn in its automation/reporting ecosystem. Its Rule Engine specifically supports bulk actions across Google, Microsoft, Meta and LinkedIn. help.optmyzr.com

That's a major advantage for an agency because you can standardize your operating procedures rather than having:

• Google rules
• Meta rules
• Microsoft scripts
• spreadsheets
• Zapier
• custom reporting
• etc.

all operating independently.

3. Cross-account reporting is very strong

You can create reusable report templates and deploy them across accounts, with scheduled delivery. Its reporting can combine Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, LinkedIn and GA4 data. www.optmyzr.com

So you could have something like:

Agency Executive Report

• Spend
• Revenue
• ROAS
• CPA
• MoM/YoY
• pacing
• top winners/losers

…and apply the same reporting framework to 200+ clients/accounts.

4. Bulk budget management

This is another area I'd pay attention to at your scale. Optmyzr has portfolio-level budget tools, including budget pacing, automated budget adjustments and guardrails. help.optmyzr.com

That becomes extremely valuable when you're managing hundreds of accounts because budget pacing itself becomes an operational problem.

Where I'd not use Optmyzr alone

If by "bulk changes" you primarily mean mass campaign construction/editing, I'd still keep Google Ads Editor in your stack.

For example:

• clone campaigns
• restructure campaigns
• replace ad copy
• change match types
• massive CSV edits
• initial campaign builds

Google Ads Editor remains extremely fast for that kind of hands-on structural work.

Then I'd use Optmyzr as the agency automation/operations layer sitting above it.

The stack I'd build for a 100–500 account agency

I'd probably structure it like this:

Ad platforms
→ Google / Microsoft / Meta

Execution
→ Google Ads Editor + Optmyzr

Automation
→ Optmyzr Rule Engine

Budget/pacing
→ Optmyzr Budget Tools

Reporting
→ Optmyzr reports/dashboards

CRM / internal data
→ HubSpot / Salesforce / Sheets / your BI system

Custom edge cases
→ API/scripts

That gives your team a pretty powerful model:

Human sets strategy → automation executes → exceptions get escalated → humans review.

Optmyzr also supports external data inputs, so you can eventually make rules based on things that aren't available inside the ad platforms—such as CRM data, inventory, margins or profitability. help.optmyzr.comhelp.optmyzr.com

One important caveat

At hundreds of accounts, I wouldn't choose based on "which tool has the coolest automation."

I'd evaluate account limits, API throughput, permissions, auditability, approval workflows, white-labeling, pricing model, and how rules are deployed across portfolios. Those become much more important than individual optimization features.

If you tell me roughly how many Google / Meta / Microsoft accounts you manage, your monthly ad spend, and whether you're mostly lead gen or ecommerce, I can give you a specific Optmyzr vs MarinOne vs Skai comparison and what I'd actually deploy at your scale.

For an agency managing hundreds of ad accounts, I’d shortlist Optmyzr and Marin first. My default recommendation would be Optmyzr if your core need is Google/Microsoft/Amazon Ads optimization and rule-based automation; Marin becomes more compelling if you need a broader, enterprise-style cross-account reporting/operations layer.

My ranking

1. Optmyzr — my pick for most performance agencies

Optmyzr

This is probably where I'd start. Its Rule Engine lets you build if/then optimization logic and run it automatically across accounts, while its All Accounts Dashboard is specifically designed for managing portfolios of accounts. It also supports scheduled reporting, alerts, scripts, and bulk operations. help.optmyzr.com

A particularly useful feature at your scale is global strategies: you can create a strategy once and automate it across multiple accounts rather than maintaining hundreds of individual rules. help.optmyzr.com

For example:

If 7-day CPA > target × 1.3 AND spend > $500 → reduce budget 15%
If ROAS > target × 1.5 AND impression share < 70% → increase budget 10%
If spend > $X with zero conversions → pause
If campaign hasn't spent 80% of daily budget by 6pm → increase bids/budget

You can also run these in preview mode first, which is important when you're letting automation touch hundreds of client accounts. help.optmyzr.com

2. Marin — I'd seriously consider it at 500+ accounts

Marin Software

Marin is particularly strong if your agency thinks in terms of clients → portfolios → accounts → campaigns rather than individual account optimization.

It has multi-account/multi-publisher editing, spreadsheet-based bulk changes, cross-client reporting, recurring reports, automated alerts, and an API. Marin explicitly positions its agency product for hundreds or thousands of smaller advertisers and supports unlimited ad accounts. www.marinsoftware.com

The cross-client reporting is especially interesting for an agency: you can aggregate selected clients or groups of clients into reports and segment them with client tags. support.marinsoftware.com

3. Skai — if you're becoming an enterprise operation

Skai

Skai has excellent bulk editing/bulksheets, advanced automated actions, algorithmic optimization, and scheduled reporting across advertising channels. skai.io

I'd look at it if you're managing large budgets across Google + Microsoft + Amazon + paid social and want a more enterprise-grade platform rather than primarily a PPC optimization tool.

What I'd do in your position

If you're primarily a Google Ads agency with hundreds of accounts, I'd trial:

Optmyzr → first choice
Marin → second choice / potentially better at very large scale
Skai → if you're heavily multi-channel/enterprise

The important distinction is that you're not really looking for a "reporting tool." You're looking for an agency operating system for paid media:

Account management → bulk editing → rules → alerts → approvals → reporting → audit trail → API/data export

That's why I'd favor Optmyzr/Marin over something like a pure dashboard/reporting product.

If you tell me roughly how many accounts (100 / 500 / 1,000+), which platforms (Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, TikTok), and your approximate monthly ad spend, I can give you a much more specific recommendation—including which one I'd buy and what the likely pricing structure/tradeoffs are at your scale.

For an agency managing hundreds of ad accounts, my first choice would be Optmyzr—especially if your core need is bulk changes + automated rules + multi-account reporting, rather than sophisticated media buying across every possible channel.

My shortlist

Why I'd start with Optmyzr: its Rule Engine can make bulk changes across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta and LinkedIn, and rules can run automatically on schedules. help.optmyzr.com

For reporting, it has multi-account reporting and an All Accounts Dashboard, plus scheduled reports that can be reused across accounts and branded for clients. help.optmyzr.com

It also specifically supports bulk automation of global strategies across multiple accounts, which is pretty close to the workflow I'd want for an agency operating at your scale. help.optmyzr.com

Where I'd consider Marin instead

Marin becomes particularly interesting if you're talking hundreds-to-thousands of accounts and want a more enterprise-grade operating layer. Marin explicitly supports unlimited client accounts, cross-client reporting, bulk edits across publishers, automated workflows, Python scripting and an API. www.marinsoftware.com

Its reporting is especially strong for agencies: you can run reports across multiple clients, schedule them, and push data into other systems. www.marinsoftware.com

And Skai?

Skai is the one I'd investigate if your agency is operating more like an enterprise trading desk. It has bulk editing/bulksheets, advanced automated actions, custom optimization algorithms, portfolio-level bid/budget optimization, and cross-channel reporting. skai.io

But for a typical performance agency, I'd expect Optmyzr to give you a better balance of power, usability and agency-focused workflows.

One important caveat: at hundreds of Google Ads accounts, you need to architect around Google's MCC execution limits. Google currently limits an MCC-level script to 50 accounts per simultaneous run, which Optmyzr documents as well. help.optmyzr.com

What I'd do in your shoes

I'd evaluate Optmyzr vs. Marin, with these five tests:

1. Bulk budget changes: e.g. change budgets across 300 accounts based on spend/pacing.
2. Global rules: create one rule and deploy it across all applicable client accounts.
3. Exception management: surface only accounts/campaigns requiring attention.
4. Client reporting: automatically generate 100+ branded reports without touching them.
5. API/data export: get the data into your own warehouse/BI system so you're not locked into the platform.

If you tell me roughly how many Google Ads vs Meta accounts you manage, monthly ad spend, and whether you need Google/Microsoft/Meta/TikTok all in one system, I can give you a much more specific recommendation—including which one I'd actually buy and what I'd use alongside it.

For an agency managing hundreds of ad accounts, my first choice would be Optmyzr.

My ranking

Why I'd pick Optmyzr for your use case: its Rule Engine is specifically designed around custom if/then automation, bulk changes, and scheduled execution. It supports Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Amazon, Meta and LinkedIn, and can apply strategies across multiple accounts. help.optmyzr.com

For example, you could build rules like:

• If CPA > $X after 30 conversions → reduce budget 15%
• If ROAS > target by 20% → increase budget 10%
• If spend > $X with zero conversions → pause keyword
• If campaign is pacing > 120% of monthly budget → reduce budget
• If branded campaign CPC jumps > 30% → alert account manager
• Automatically pause ads/campaigns matching certain conditions
• Run the same optimization framework across hundreds of client accounts

It also has bulk automation of strategies, including making global strategies that can be automated across multiple accounts. help.optmyzr.com

Reporting is another big reason

Optmyzr has multi-account reporting and scheduled reporting. You can aggregate Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, Analytics and other data into reports, with scheduled delivery to clients/stakeholders. help.optmyzr.com

So you can essentially build:

Account data → automated QA → automated optimization → alerts → client reporting

without your team logging into every individual account.

Where I'd choose Skai instead

Skai is worth serious consideration if you're operating more like an enterprise media-buying organization. It has bulk editing/bulksheets, advanced automated actions, custom algorithms, portfolio optimization and automated reporting. skai.io

I'd lean Skai over Optmyzr if you need sophisticated cross-channel/enterprise media management. I'd lean Optmyzr if your core problem is "we have hundreds of PPC accounts and need our team to automate the repetitive optimization work."

One important caveat

If by "hundreds of ad accounts" you mean hundreds of Google Ads + Meta + TikTok + LinkedIn accounts, I'd evaluate the stack differently than if you're primarily Google/Microsoft.

If you tell me roughly how many accounts you have on Google, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok, etc., and what you want automated, I can give you a 3-tool shortlist with approximate agency pricing, API/account limits, automation capabilities, and which one I'd actually deploy.

For an agency managing hundreds of ad accounts, my first choice would be Optmyzr—especially if your core channels are Google Ads + Microsoft Ads.

My shortlist

Why I'd pick Optmyzr: its Rule Engine lets you build custom if/then strategies and run them automatically across Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and LinkedIn accounts. It also supports external data, so you can feed in CRM/Google Sheets data and use that to trigger changes. help.optmyzr.com

For an agency, the reporting/workflow layer is probably even more valuable. Optmyzr can schedule reports across multiple accounts and platforms, while its All Accounts Dashboard gives you an agency-wide view. help.optmyzr.com

Where I'd use Google natively

Don't overlook Google Ads Manager Accounts + Scripts. Google lets you run a single script across multiple child accounts, including generating multi-account reports. support.google.com Native manager-account automated rules can cover up to 1,000 accounts, so the scale itself isn't a problem. support.google.com

The distinction I'd make is:

• Google Ads Editor/MCC: excellent for massive one-off structural changes.
• Google Scripts: excellent if you have developers and want highly customized automation.
• Optmyzr: better if you want your media buyers to build, review, schedule and monitor automations without constantly maintaining code.
• MarinOne: worth evaluating if you're operating at a more enterprise level and need unified reporting/optimization across many publishers. Marin specifically positions its agency product around automating hundreds of workflows and unified client/publisher reporting. www.marinsoftware.com

For your agency, I'd probably build this stack

Optmyzr + native MCCs + Looker Studio/your BI layer

Use Optmyzr for things like:

• Budget pacing and automated budget shifts
• CPA/ROAS guardrails
• Pause/enable campaigns based on performance
• Search-term/keyword automation
• Account audits
• Cross-account alerts
• Standardized account blueprints
• Automated client reporting

Then use Google/Microsoft APIs or scripts for the weird/custom stuff that Optmyzr doesn't handle elegantly.

One particularly useful feature at your scale is change-history-based automation: Optmyzr can inspect changes made by other tools/users/scripts and trigger logic based on those changes. That can give an agency much better governance over hundreds of accounts. help.optmyzr.com

If you tell me roughly how many accounts you have, monthly managed spend, and whether they're mostly Google / Meta / Microsoft / TikTok, I can give you a much more specific recommendation—including what I'd use for bulk editing vs rules vs reporting and what I'd avoid paying for twice.

For an agency managing hundreds of ad accounts, my first choice would be Optmyzr.

It is particularly strong when you need bulk operations + rules/automation + cross-account reporting in one system.

Why I'd pick Optmyzr

1. Bulk changes
Its Rule Engine can make bulk changes across Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and LinkedIn accounts, with scheduled automation. help.optmyzr.comwww.optmyzr.com

2. Automated rules
This is probably its biggest advantage for your use case. You can build conditional strategies—e.g.:

If CPA > target by 30% AND spend > $X → reduce budget 15%

and schedule them across accounts. You can also use alerts rather than automatically making the change, which is useful for agency QA. help.optmyzr.com

3. Hundreds of accounts
The All Accounts Dashboard gives you a portfolio-level view of performance, pacing and account health rather than forcing your team to work account-by-account. help.optmyzr.com

4. Reporting
This is where I'd favor it over tools that are primarily optimization platforms. You can create templates once and reuse them across accounts, schedule delivery, and combine Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, LinkedIn and GA4 data into multi-account reports. www.optmyzr.com

The other tools I'd consider

Skai — worth considering if you're a large enterprise agency with sophisticated cross-channel media buying, large budgets and a need for enterprise workflow/governance. I'd generally consider it overkill for a typical performance agency.

Marin Software — historically strong for large-scale paid-search management, though I'd put Optmyzr ahead of it for a modern agency automation/reporting workflow.

Google Ads Editor + Google Ads Scripts — still excellent if you're predominantly Google and have developers. Editor is arguably better for certain massive structural edits, while Scripts give you almost unlimited customization. But you're building/maintaining more of the system yourself.

What I'd do if I ran your agency

I'd probably build the stack as:

Optmyzr → account management + automation + optimization + reporting
Google/Microsoft native platforms → platform-specific functionality
Looker Studio / warehouse → deeper BI and agency-wide business reporting

The important distinction is that Optmyzr isn't merely a reporting dashboard. Its automation layer can actually execute changes, while retaining review/approval workflows for changes where you don't want full autonomy. www.optmyzr.com

For an agency with 100–500+ accounts, that's the part I'd value most.

If you tell me roughly how many accounts, which platforms (Google/Meta/Microsoft/etc.), and whether your biggest pain is bulk editing, rules, or client reporting, I can give you a 3-tool shortlist with estimated cost and exactly what I'd choose for your agency.
