The main Adheart alternatives are BigSpy for a free plan and many platforms, AdSpy for a deep Facebook and Instagram database, PowerAdSpy for up to 11 networks, Minea for ecommerce product research, and Foreplay for saving ads and briefs. Adheart's Start plan lists $69 a month, or $699 billed yearly (checked 2026-10-20).

## Why teams look for an alternative

Adheart says it has collected ads since 2019. Its site lists spy tools for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok ads and mobile apps, and both plans list access to all Meta platforms. Start has 3,000 unique searches a month, and Pro has 9,000 and adds AI tools. Both list competitor ad tracking, one-click niches and a creative uniquifier. Pro lists $89 a month, marked down from $99, or $899 billed yearly.

Teams look elsewhere for a free plan. Adheart's pricing page lists no free plan or trial, only a 2-week money-back guarantee. Others want more platforms, or briefs and a swipe file.

Say you pay for Adheart Start monthly. That is 12 x $69 = $828 a year. Yearly billing is $699, so you save $129.
