Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 35 of the 39 other ad creative and reporting tools we grade
SwipeKit is an ad research tool for saving ads from Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn ad libraries into one organized swipe file. It tracks how long saved ads have run, follows competitors' Meta ads, and offers an ad library of more than 1.5 million ads plus an MCP server for using saved ads in Claude or ChatGPT.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about SwipeKit, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It's a Chrome extension, and its in-app AI Scripts feature is deprecated.
- 1
Best for saving and tracking ads from public ad libraries
Every plan has the same features and only seats, tracked brands and API credits differ.
- 2
Paid plans start at $26 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $26 per month, billed monthly.
- 3
You can try it first
14-day free trial, no credit card required
- 4
It runs on Web
Web, with a browser extension too.
- 5
Ad saving extension
A Chrome extension saves ads from the Facebook Ad Library, LinkedIn Ad Library, TikTok Creative Center and TikTok Ad Library, with copy, media, landing page link and transcript.
- 6
Swipe file and boards
Folders, boards, tagging, sorting and filtering, manual uploads and a live check of whether a saved Facebook ad is still active.
- 7
Multiplayer ad library
A searchable library of 1.5M ads, sortable by longest-running ads, with transcripts and advanced filtering.
- 8

Keep it
To replace SwipeKit you would be making a library of papers and sources to search. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for saving and tracking ads from public ad libraries
SwipeKit saves ads from public libraries into boards and tracks brands, from $26 a month with a 14-day trial. Every plan has the same features and only seats, tracked brands and API credits differ. It's a Chrome extension, and its in-app AI Scripts feature is deprecated.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $26 a month billed monthly, inside the cheaper quarter of ad tools ($27), for 5 seats and 5 tracked brands. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 14-day free trial with no card, and no free plan after it. |
| Features | C | Saving extension, swipe file and boards, a shared ad library, brand tracker, MCP and API. The AI Scripts feature is deprecated, and the active-days tracker is only accurate to about 3 days. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A browser extension plus boards you have to set up and fill. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web and a browser extension, with 5 integrations and API and MCP access on every plan. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who SwipeKit is for
- Fits if you collect ads from several libraries and want them on shared boards
- Works for small agencies tracking 5 to 15 competing brands
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you don't use Chrome, since the pages name only a Chrome extension
- Not for you if you want a free plan, because after the 14-day trial it's paid
- Watch out: the in-app AI Scripts feature is deprecated, with Skills in Claude or ChatGPT pointed to instead
- Tight if you track many brands: Basic stops at 5, Plus at 10, Agency at 15
Good to know
Good for
- Marketers and creative strategists collecting ad inspiration
- Agencies that share white-labeled ad boards with clients
- Teams that want to track rivals' Meta ads over time
Worth knowing

- The in-app AI Scripts feature is deprecated; the site points to Skills used through MCP in Claude or ChatGPT instead.
- The saving extension is described as a Chrome extension; the pages read name no other browser.
- The Facebook ad active-days tracker is described as accurate to within about 3 days.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace SwipeKit you would be making a library of papers and sources to search. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 35 of the 39 other ad creative and reporting tools we grade. It costs $312 a year.
What you could make
- Bookmarks: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A library of papers and sources to search.
- Ad images and videos made to each network's sizes.
- It plugs into other products, Facebook Ad Library, LinkedIn Ad Library and TikTok Creative Center among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. SwipeKit’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
