Which one is for you

Pick Adbeat if

  • Fits if you buy display or native ads and want to see rivals' placements
  • Works for media buyers who can use 90 days of data

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you want more than Standard, which keeps 90 days of data and 1,000 results per search
  • Skip it if you research social ads, as the pages read do not mention social ad libraries
  • Watch out: country filters need Advanced and ad spend estimates need Enterprise
  • Tight if you stay free, since Basic only views creatives and saves favourites
  • Watch out: there is no trial on paid plans, only a 30-day refund guarantee

Pick SocialPeta if

  • Fits if you advertise mobile games or apps and want to watch ads on in-app networks
  • Works for teams that want each creative split into hook, mechanic and selling point

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want a price before talking to sales, as none is published
  • Watch out: the free trial has no stated length, and we can't tell whether it needs a card
  • Too light for non-game advertisers who want one tool for every ad network, since the pitch leans on games and apps
  • Tight if you need a long history, as the public feed shows 90 days and 100 creatives a view

    How this page was made

    • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
    • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
    • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
    • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
