AdSpy Alternatives
AdSpy searches Facebook and Instagram ads, with search fields for comments, reactions and affiliate offers. If you need an AdSpy alternative that also covers TikTok and Google ads, Shopify stores and API access, here is how SellWinners and PowerAdSpy compare, and where AdSpy wins.
SellWinners is our product, so weigh what follows with that in mind. Every fact about AdSpy comes from its homepage, adspy.com, and every fact about PowerAdSpy from poweradspy.com and its pricing page, read on October 24, 2026. AdSpy's pricing address returned a 404 that day, so its plan details come from the homepage as well.
AdSpy covers Facebook and Instagram, and its search fields reach into comments, reactions and affiliate offers. SellWinners covers Meta, Google and TikTok ads and the Shopify stores behind them, with no affiliate fields. PowerAdSpy lists eleven ad networks, by plan. Which one fits depends on where you buy ads and what you sell.

SellWinners vs AdSpy

Where AdSpy wins
AdSpy wins if Facebook and Instagram are the only networks you buy ads on, and you want to search ads by how people react to them. Its homepage lists comment keywords, reactions and like count among its search fields, with demographics by location, gender and age range. SellWinners has no search by comment keywords or by reactions.
It also wins on affiliate work. AdSpy lists affiliate network, affiliate ID and offer ID as fields, and SellWinners has none of them. And it is simple to buy: one plan, at one price, with "virtually unlimited usage". The homepage calls it an introductory offer, so check the current terms on adspy.com before you buy.
Where SellWinners fits
SellWinners fits when you sell online and advertise beyond Facebook and Instagram, or when you want the data outside the browser.
- TikTok and Google too. One account searches Meta ads, Google ads, and TikTok ads with the organic posts around them.
- The store behind the ad. Open a Meta ad and its Shop tab takes you to the store it links to, with that store's traffic, estimated sales and best sellers.
- An API. If you searched for an AdSpy API: the AdSpy homepage does not mention one (checked on October 24, 2026). SellWinners has a REST API with public docs.
- An AI agent. Connect Claude, Cursor or VS Code to the MCP server, and your agent runs the same searches on the key you use for the API.
What SellWinners does differently
Three ad libraries in one place
In Explore, the Ads page has a Meta tab, a Google tab and a TikTok tab. Meta ads cover Facebook and Instagram. The Google and TikTok tabs are on paid plans. Google ads can be filtered by network (Search, YouTube, Shopping or Maps), and they come as text, image and video ads. A video ad shows its thumbnail, with a link to watch it on Google, and the YouTube ad spy tool page shows how to keep the YouTube ones. On TikTok you choose ads, organic posts or both. When you browse without a search text, you can sort by views, likes or how long a post has run. See the TikTok ads library and the Google ads library for the filters of each.
# Search TikTok ads and posts
curl "https://api.sellwinners.com/v1/tiktok/library?type=ad&minDaysRunning=14&sortBy=views&limit=10" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"GET /v1/tiktok/library Parameters and fields in the docs
TikTok results carry views, likes, comments, shares and engagement rate. They carry no reach and no spend.
From an ad to the store behind it
AdSpy lists landing page technologies among its search fields. In SellWinners you open the store itself: a Shopify store's record gives its monthly visits and 30-day growth, its estimated monthly sales, its best sellers with prices, its apps, pixels and theme, its active Meta ads and its TikTok profile. The estimates are there to compare stores, not to quote. The Shopify spy tool page has the full list of filters.
The link runs both ways. You can filter Meta ads by the store behind them, for example by the Shopify apps or the theme it runs. On Free you search a store by domain and see its overview; the shop filters are on paid plans.
# One shop by id or domain
curl "https://api.sellwinners.com/v1/shops/gymshark.com" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"GET /v1/shops/{shopId} Parameters and fields in the docs
The same data in your code and your agent
Every dataset is a REST endpoint, and filters go by name as query parameters or in a POST body. The Meta ads search reference lists each parameter and field. You pay in credits for the results returned: one credit per result, and an empty result or a failed call costs nothing.
# Search Meta ads with advanced filters
curl -X POST "https://api.sellwinners.com/v1/ads/query" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "skincare", "status": "active", "minDaysRunning": 30, "limit": 10}'POST /v1/ads/query Parameters and fields in the docs
Over the MCP server for AI agents, ask your agent to run search_ads for Meta ads, search_tiktok_library for TikTok or search_shops for stores. A tool call costs the results it returns, like the API.
What SellWinners does not cover
SellWinners has no search by comment keywords or reactions, and no affiliate fields. There are no Pinterest, native, LinkedIn, Bing, Snapchat or X ads, and Google video ads, YouTube ones included, have no video file: you watch them on Google. There is no browser extension and no export file. Meta reach is EU and UK reach and Meta spend is an estimate, both on every plan. Google ads, on paid plans, have no spend, and a reach only for some of the ads shown in the EU.
What to check in an AdSpy alternative
Most of the choice comes down to five points. Settle them for your own work before you compare tools.
- The networks you buy on. AdSpy lists Facebook and Instagram. If you also buy on TikTok or Google, the AdSpy homepage does not list them.
- The fields you search by. If you rely on comment keywords, reactions or affiliate IDs, AdSpy lists them and SellWinners does not.
- The store behind the ad. If you sell on Shopify, the traffic and estimated sales of the store tell you whether an ad sits on a store that grows.
- How you use the data. In the browser only, or also in your own scripts and an AI agent.
- How you can try it. We found no free plan or trial on the AdSpy homepage. SellWinners has a Free plan with no card, so you can try your own niche in the Meta ad library before you pay.
For the wider field, our list of the best ad spy tools compares eight tools on the same facts, and SellWinners vs PowerAdSpy looks at a tool that lists more ad networks. Everything SellWinners covers is on the ad spy tool page, and you can compare the plans when you are ready.

Common questions

Is there a free version of AdSpy?
We found no free plan or trial on the AdSpy homepage (checked on October 24, 2026 at adspy.com), and that does not prove there is none.

No. SellWinners has no affiliate network, affiliate ID or offer ID fields, and no search by comment keywords. AdSpy lists all of these on its homepage (checked on October 24, 2026). If your work depends on them, AdSpy covers it and SellWinners does not.
Which AdSpy alternative should I pick?
Start from the networks you buy on. For Meta, Google and TikTok ads with the Shopify store behind each ad and a REST API, SellWinners fits.
