AdSpy is $149 a month for one plan covering Facebook and Instagram ad search. It is worth paying for if you do that research every week. A buyer who wants a swipe file, or ads on other networks, should start with a different library.

Our verdict
AdSpy is the right pick if you spend your week in Meta ads and want offer, network and comment filters in one search.
AdSpy sells a single subscription. Everyone on the account can use the same search, and there is no extra charge per seat. Weekly searches for offers and comments are the workload this fee is meant for. If you only log in a few times a month, the fee is hard to justify.
Some buyers say they did not get enough back to justify the fee. That complaint usually comes from someone who only opens AdSpy now and then. The plan fits someone who searches on most workdays.
Search starts with the words in the ad, the advertiser's name, the like count and the media type. You can sort results by the date last seen, the reaction count or the length of the run.
You can search comments by keyword, so a brand name or a complaint shows up in the replies. Buyers who keep their subscription usually name comment search as the reason. The same section also filters by location, gender and age, and by affiliate network, affiliate name and offer ID. AdSpy says the landing-page view gets past cloakers. Open the landing page before you copy the funnel.
The counter on the site reads 213,229,000+ ads, 225 countries and 30,359,000+ advertisers. TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest and native ads live in other tools. What you see here is Meta ads only.
Public threads describe the data as stale, and a dropshipping comment calls the tool outdated. Treat each result as a lead. Make sure the ad is still running before you put money behind it.
BigSpy costs less and covers more networks. The prices are on the BigSpy pricing page. Minea's pricing page is for people who research shops and products along with the ads. The AdSpy alternatives page compares these options, including tools for native and push ads.
If this is the wrong tool, the refund terms are in the pricing section.
A common complaint
Buyers call the price high and say the single tier did not earn its fee. An older affiliate thread makes the same complaint and says the fee pays off only when you use AdSpy regularly.
“clunky and expensive”
“Not worth the premium price at all.”
“super expensive”
A common complaint
One affiliate comment says the results lag. A dropshipping comment says the tool is outdated. Use a result as a lead, and verify the ad is still running.
“a little stale sometimes”
“Adspy is definitely very outdated.”
Mostly praised by buyers
A Facebook ads thread points to AdSpy when the job is reading ad comments. The homepage includes a comment-keyword search for that.
