PowerAdSpy sells tiered plans: $69 a month covers Facebook and Instagram, and the top plan covers up to 11 ad networks. AdSpy sells one plan at $149 a month for Facebook and Instagram. Pick PowerAdSpy if you need other networks or a lower entry price. Pick AdSpy if you only work on Meta and want one flat plan.

|---|---|---|
| Basic, $69 | Facebook, Instagram | 1 |
| Standard, $99 | Pinterest, Google Display | 5 |
| Platinum, $279 | YouTube, native, Google Search | 10 |
| Palladium, $399 | LinkedIn, TikTok, Quora, Reddit (11 in all) | 30 |

Search works by keyword, advertiser or domain. Basic includes filters for intent, hook and colours. Platinum adds an estimated ad budget, among other filters.

- Audience targeting by location, gender and age range, as it states

## A worked example

Say you only advertise on Meta. PowerAdSpy Basic is $69 and AdSpy is $149, so Basic is $80 cheaper a month. That is $960 a year (12 x $80).

Now say you also want to watch YouTube and Google Search ads. Basic and Standard do not cover them. You need Platinum at $279, which is $130 more than AdSpy's $149 (279 - 149). But AdSpy does not cover those networks at all, so the choice is no longer a price match.

Basic's brand limit of 1 may also bite. Check how each tool counts a brand before you pay.

## Who should pick which

- **Meta-only media buyer on a budget:** PowerAdSpy Basic, after the $1 trial.
- **Meta-only buyer who wants one plan and no tiers:** AdSpy.
- **Buyer who needs YouTube, Google or native ads:** PowerAdSpy, on the plan that lists them.
