AdSpy pricing: one plan at $149 and what you get

AdSpy pricing is a single plan: $149 a month, with what the homepage calls "virtually unlimited usage". There are no tiers, no annual price and no free plan shown, and the homepage describes the $149 as "an introductory offer" that "will not be the same for long".

Prices below were read from each vendor's own pricing page on 4 October 2026. AdSpy has no separate pricing page (adspy.com/pricing returned a 404), so the figure comes from the pricing section of its homepage.

AdSpy pricing at a glance

That is the whole published price list. Anything more, such as a trial, a discount or seat rules, would only appear inside the sign-up flow, which we did not complete.

What the $149 buys

AdSpy is a search engine over a large archive of Facebook and Instagram ads. The homepage lists the ways you can filter it:

• What the ad says: ad text, and keywords inside the comments.
• Who runs it: advertiser or page name, and the landing page URL.
• How it is doing: number of likes, user reactions and how long the ad has run.
• When: the date it was last seen.
• Who it targets: gender, age range and location.
• Affiliate details: affiliate network, affiliate ID and offer ID.
• Format and landing page: media type, and the technologies the landing page runs on.

Those affiliate filters tell you who AdSpy is built for: affiliate marketers and ecommerce sellers hunting for winning offers across millions of advertisers. If that is you, $149 for unlimited searching is a fair deal.

What it leaves out

Other networks. AdSpy describes itself as a Facebook and Instagram database, and the homepage names no other ad networks. For Google, TikTok, YouTube or LinkedIn ads you need another source.

Spend figures. Likes and run time are proxies for performance. Nothing on the homepage claims to show what an advertiser spent.

Price certainty. "Introductory" with no end date means you should check the amount at checkout and again on your next invoice.

Terms. The homepage states no trial, refund or cancellation policy. Read them in the sign-up flow before you pay.

What a small team actually needs

Two very different buyers search for AdSpy.

The researcher. You want to see what is working across a whole niche, find angles and offers, and study thousands of ads. AdSpy's one plan suits you, and the main question is whether $149 a month beats the tiered tools below.

The competitor watcher. You have three to eight named rivals and want to know what ads they run. You do not need a 211 million ad archive. Meta's own Ad Library is free, shows every ad an advertiser is running on Facebook and Instagram today, and needs no account. Its limits are that you have to remember to look, and outside the EU it shows little about ads that have already stopped.

Cheaper and broader alternatives

On price alone, PowerAdSpy Basic is far cheaper if you pay a year up front, and BigSpy Growth costs $10 more than AdSpy but adds TikTok, Google and YouTube. Our BigSpy vs AdSpy page goes through the two head to head, and the full field is in our list of ad spy tools and on the AdSpy alternatives page.

For the competitor watcher, Figo, ours, is $49 a month for three competitors and emails and Slacks you when they launch new Google, Meta or TikTok ads, after its weekly check. It has no searchable archive of other advertisers, so it is not an AdSpy replacement for research.

Verdict

AdSpy is a simple deal: $149 a month for unlimited searching of a very large Facebook and Instagram archive. It suits affiliate and ecommerce researchers who search daily. It is poor value for watching a few named competitors, where the free Meta Ad Library does the core job. And because the price is labelled introductory, confirm it at checkout rather than trusting any figure you read, including ours.
