SocialPeta alternative without the enterprise weight

SocialPeta is a serious enterprise ad intelligence platform, covering dozens of ad networks with spend estimates and market-share data aimed largely at app and game user-acquisition teams. That breadth is real and AdEye does not match it. But for most brands and agencies it is more platform, and more price, than the job needs.

AdEye is the leaner alternative for one specific question: what is this competitor advertising on Google right now. Search a brand name or domain and you get their live ads from the Google Ads Transparency Center, each showing how long it has been running, with AI hook, angle and format tags on paid plans and a swipe file for the keepers. No modeled spend figures, no onboarding, no sales call. Public ad-library data only.

Why marketers pick AdEye

The ad spy tool that shows you the why

One question, answered fast

Instead of dozens of networks you will never touch, AdEye answers one thing well: what a named competitor is running on Google today. That is a search you finish in a minute rather than a platform you learn.

AI reads every creative

On paid plans each ad is auto-tagged with its hook, angle and format, so you can filter a competitor by strategy and brief your next test without a training course.

Observable signals, not modeled dollars

SocialPeta models spend and impressions, which is what enterprise analysts buy it for. AdEye reports only what Google publishes: how long each ad has run. Narrower, but you can check every number against the source.

Good questions

SocialPeta vs AdEye, answered

For focused competitor research without enterprise overhead, yes, as long as Google is the platform you care about. AdEye reads the Google Ads Transparency Center with AI hook and angle tags on paid plans, rather than covering dozens of networks aimed at large app user-acquisition teams.

A lot, deliberately. AdEye does not model ad spend, does not cover 70-plus networks, and does not do app or game user acquisition. It reads one public library, the Google Ads Transparency Center, and adds run length and AI hook and angle tagging on top of it.
