AdSpy is a search tool for Facebook and Instagram ads. Minea adds product and shop research to its Meta ad listings, and it is built for ecommerce sellers. Pick AdSpy if you only need ads to study. Pick Minea if you also hunt for products to sell.

## Side by side

| | Minea | AdSpy |
|---|---|---|
| Main job | Product, shop and ad research | Search across Facebook and Instagram ads |
| Ads covered | Facebook ads and influencer product placements. Its pricing page marks Snapchat, Pinterest and TikTok "coming soon", but its home page plan table lists TikTok ads | Facebook and Instagram |
| Size it states | Home page: "80M+" active ads. Pricing page: "More than 10 million ads" | 212,937,000+ ads, 30,332,000+ advertisers, 225 countries |
| Price | Starter $49, Premium $99, Business $199 a month | $149 a month |
| Cheaper billing | $39, $79 or $158 a month if paid quarterly | Not listed |
| Free option | Free registration, terms not stated | Not listed |

Prices and claims come from each company's own site, checked 2026-10-20. AdSpy calls its $149 price an introductory offer. The ad counts are each company's claim, so test both on your own niche.

## What Minea does well

- Product listings, shop listings and a brand tracker in one tool
- Daily niche lists and notifications
- AI analysis of an ad and AI transcripts: 10 a month on Starter, 50 on Premium, unlimited on Business
- A free .Store domain on each plan, as listed

If you do not know what to sell yet, this is the part that saves time.

## What AdSpy does well

- Search by ad text, URL or page name, and search the comments on ads
- Filters for affiliate network, affiliate ID and offer ID
- Audience targeting by location, gender and age range, as it states
- One price, which it describes as "virtually unlimited usage"

## Who should pick which

- **Dropshippers testing products:** Minea.
- **Media buyers studying Meta ads in depth:** AdSpy.
- **Anyone who only needs ideas, not a paid tool:** start with the free [Meta Ad Library](/glossary/meta-ad-library), then read [the best free ad spy tools](/best/best-free-ad-spy-tools).

## What neither one shows

An ad spy shows what a rival ran. It does not show whether it paid off. Judge an ad by how long it has run and how often the brand changed it. See [what an ad spy tool does and does not do](/glossary/ad-spy-tool).

## Where Marxx fits

Marxx tracks competitor ads on Meta and Google, and has an AI search over 100M+ ads back to 2022. A browser extension adds a Save button to the Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn ad libraries, Pinterest and Google Images. It does not research products or shops. See [competitor tracking](/features/competitor-tracking). We make Marxx, so weigh that.

## FAQ
