Motion alternative for competitor ad research, not just your own reporting

Motion is a creative analytics tool: you connect your ad accounts and it scores how your own creatives perform, with hook scores and visual reports. That is genuinely useful once you are spending. The gap people hit is that Motion can only report on ads you have already made and paid to run. It cannot show you what your competitors are testing, which is where most winning angles actually come from.

AdEye works the other side of the problem, on one platform. Instead of connecting your ad account, it reads the Google Ads Transparency Center and pulls a competitor's live Google ads into a feed by brand name or domain, showing how long each has been running, with AI hook, angle and format tags on paid plans. If a Motion alternative to you means competitor creative research rather than in-house performance reporting, that is what AdEye is for. Many teams run both: Motion to grade their spend, AdEye to see what rivals are funding on Google.

Motion can only score creatives you have already produced and funded. AdEye shows you the Google ads your competitors are running right now, so you find proven angles before you spend to discover them yourself.

No account connection required

AdEye reads public transparency data, so there is nothing to plug in and no spend figures involved. Enter a brand name or a domain and their live Google creatives appear, tagged by hook, angle and format on paid plans.

Motion is priced around the size of your ad spend. AdEye is flat: $39, $99 or $299 a month, or $19.50, $49.50 and $149.50 billed yearly, for competitor research on Google and a swipe file to keep the good ones in.

Good questions

Motion vs AdEye, answered

Not exactly, because they do different jobs. Motion scores the performance of your own ads once you connect your accounts, across several platforms. AdEye finds and tags a competitor's live public ads in the Google Ads Transparency Center. If you specifically want competitor creative research on Google, AdEye replaces the manual version of that. Many teams keep both.
As of July 2026 Motion offers a free plan for up to about $25,000 in monthly ad spend, a Starter plan at $250 per month ($3,000 billed annually) for brands up to $50,000 per month, and custom-priced Pro and Growth tiers for larger spenders. Pricing scales with your spend, so confirm current numbers on motionapp.com.
