PowerAdSpy alternative: a competitor's complete Google ad set in one search

PowerAdSpy is a capable multi-network ad search tool, and it reaches social networks AdEye does not cover. That is the honest starting point: on raw platform count, PowerAdSpy is ahead.

Where AdEye is ahead is completeness on one library. Search a competitor by brand name or domain and AdEye returns the ads they are running through the Google Ads Transparency Center as a single set, not a sample, with how long each creative has been live so you can tell a funded ad from a test. Paid plans AI-tag each creative by hook, angle and format, and the keepers go into a swipe file with a link back to the original transparency record. Public ad-library data only.

Google Ads Transparency has no ads on record for that search. Google indexes ads by advertiser, so the brand's exact domain works best, for example nike.com.

Google Ads Transparency has no ads on record for . That is an answer about the brand, not a problem with the search: they are not running Google ads that Google publishes, or they advertise under a different registered name.

We could not reach Google Ads Transparency just now, so this is not a result about that brand, we simply could not look. Please try again in a moment. This search has not been counted against your allowance.

Why marketers pick AdEye

The ad spy tool that shows you the why

A whole ad set, not a sample

AdEye searches the Google Ads Transparency Center by advertiser, so one query returns the ads a brand is currently running there rather than whatever a crawler happened to pick up across a dozen networks.

AI does the sorting

On paid plans hook, angle and format tags let you filter a competitor by pattern, and run length pushes the ads they keep funding to the top instead of leaving them buried in the results.

A swipe file with the receipts

Every saved ad keeps its advertiser, its run length and a link straight back to the Google transparency record, so anyone on the team can check the source rather than take a screenshot on faith.

Good questions

PowerAdSpy vs AdEye, answered

It depends on the platform. PowerAdSpy searches more networks than AdEye does, mostly social. AdEye covers Google: enter a brand or domain and you get their live ad set from the Google Ads Transparency Center, with run length and AI hook and angle tags on paid plans.

Yes. AdEye reads the Google Ads Transparency Center, which Google publishes so the public can inspect the ads running to them. Every result links back to its original record and nothing is taken from behind a login.

PowerAdSpy is an ad intelligence tool for finding competitor social ads, mainly on Facebook and Instagram with additional networks layered on. Marketers use it to browse creative by niche and keyword and to build inspiration lists. It is one of the older tools in the category, which shows in both its ad database size and its interface.

Yes, PowerAdSpy offers a browser extension for saving ads as you come across them. AdEye is built around the feed rather than the clip: you search an advertiser once and get their whole live public Google ad set, sorted by how long each creative has been running, instead of collecting ads one click at a time.

They solve slightly different problems. AdSpy has the deeper Facebook and Instagram database and stronger commenter and demographic filters at a flat $149 per month. PowerAdSpy spreads across more networks at a lower entry price with a smaller per-network depth. Neither indexes the Google Ads Transparency Center the way AdEye does, so if a rival's Search and Display buying matters to you, that is a separate gap in both.

Three things, and one of them is a limitation. AdEye covers a single library, the Google Ads Transparency Center, rather than many networks, so it is narrower on purpose. In exchange, a brand or domain search returns that advertiser's whole live Google ad set, every creative is AI-tagged by hook, angle and format on paid plans, and run length separates the ads a brand is funding from the ones it is testing.
