Spy on competitors · App Ad Spy

App ad spy tool for mobile user acquisition teams

Mobile user acquisition is a creative game. Across every paid channel the app that wins is usually the one testing the smartest hooks and formats, not the one with the biggest budget. The problem is that competing apps run their install ads across every major channel at once, and the winning creative concepts are easy to miss when you are checking each ad library by hand.

AdEye pulls the public app-install ads your competitors run on Google into one feed, covering Search, Shopping, Display and YouTube, tags each by hook, angle, and format, and shows run length so you can see which creative concepts they keep scaling. It is public ad-library data only, organized so a growth team can read the market's best-performing app creative without a research day.

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.

Why AdEye

One feed, the AI read, the working signal in view

Not a stale doc full of screenshots. One query for a brand, the run length on every creative, and a swipe file worth reopening. Public ad-library data only.

Every Google ad at once

The Google Ads Transparency Center searched by brand or domain, so competitor ad research is one query instead of clicking through Google's own viewer.

The AI reads the why

Creatives are tagged with their hook, angle and format on the paid plans, a few per search and kept once read, and a working signal flags the long-runners, so you see why an ad works, not just what it ran.

A swipe file that stays current

Save winners to boards, each keeping its run length and a link back to the original creative on Google, so the file is still useful months later.

Good questions

Questions about app ad spy

Yes, on Google. Search a competing app by its brand name or domain and AdEye returns its live, public Google ads, YouTube included. Sort by run length to see which install creatives it has kept funding, which is the reliable proxy for the concepts driving its downloads.

No. No public ad library reports installs, spend, or cost per install for commercial app ads. You see the creative and its start date but no performance numbers. Run length is the honest signal for the app creative a competitor is putting budget behind.

Many mobile tools focus on one network or on store rankings. AdEye is creative-first and puts a competitor's Google and YouTube app-install ads into one feed, tagged by hook and format, so you study the actual creative concepts winning on that paid channel rather than a single network slice.
