Search fields and brand limits define the snapshot

The provider’s homepage, pricing page, and About page describe these search and plan details, checked 2026-10-31.

  • Audience: agencies, marketers, and ecommerce teams (homepage, checked 2026-10-31).
  • Scope: social media advertising networks (pricing page, checked 2026-10-31).
  • Search: keyword, advertiser, and domain (pricing page, checked 2026-10-31).
  • Brand limits: 1 to 30 brands across plans (pricing page, checked 2026-10-31).
  • Database: social advertisements for media buyers, advertisers, and ad agencies (About page, checked 2026-10-31).

Keyword, placement, and engagement filters shape ad search

PowerAdSpy says buyers can search by keywords, advertisers, landing pages, language, or niche, then use filters to narrow the ads shown. The homepage lists 40+ filters, including geography, placement, engagement, age, and format, while the features page names positions such as News Feed and Side Location.

The provider describes its ad tools as covering Facebook, Instagram, Google, YouTube, native, display, Reddit, Quora, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. Its homepage says ads are indexed across 100+ countries; the About page instead describes filters for 149+ countries. The wording differs, so these figures should not be treated as a single verified coverage level.

A search can start with a niche keyword, advertiser, or competitor domain, and the service says it provides information about competitors’ geo-targets. The provider also describes demographic- and location-based targeting in its ad examples.

Confirm coverage and data before paying

Ask the provider which ad sources and formats apply to the research task, and how coverage varies by location. The listed networks and geographic filters describe a broad search scope, but a buyer should ask what those labels mean for the specific campaigns being investigated.

Clarify how the submitted-ad database is assembled and reviewed, and what an update means for an ad already saved or watched. Ask what information appears with each result, including whether creative, copy, placement, and destination details are shown together.

Request the setup and integration requirements before choosing a trial or plan. For exports or connected reporting, ask which fields are included, what limits apply, and what documentation is available. These questions help establish whether the available records can be used in the buyer’s existing research process.

Trial charges lead into four monthly plans

The homepage’s trial wording conflicts with the pricing page’s trial terms: it advertises a seven-day free trial for trying integrations and separately says a 3-day trial is available, while the pricing page lists paid trials lasting 3 days.

The pricing page lists these plan charges, checked 2026-10-31:

  • Basic — $69 per month after a $1 trial for 3 days.
  • Standard — $99 per month after a $7 trial for 3 days.
  • Platinum — $279 per month after a $7 trial for 3 days.
  • Palladium — $399 per month after a $7 trial for 3 days.

The pricing page says annual billing is charged upfront as a single annual payment, with plans discounted 58–70% from monthly rates. The trial rolls into the regular monthly plan rate after 3 days unless canceled first; the terms say customers can cancel anytime before day 3 to avoid the full plan rate.

After cancellation, the provider says access continues until the current billing period ends. Upgrades can be made anytime, while downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle. Check which trial offer applies before starting one, since the homepage descriptions and pricing-page terms do not match.

Login opens Ad Search and saved research

The documented path begins with logging in and clicking Ad Search; results are based on the niche market and keywords selected by the user. Buyers can also search by keyword, advertiser, landing page, language, or niche, then sort ads by date, shares, likes, or comments.

The provider says each ad is automatically labeled for its hook, copy, visual style, and call to action. Users can bookmark ads in a personalized inventory, and saved searches can send notifications when watched advertisers launch new creative. When a search returns no results, the service says it suggests keywords.

PowerAdSpy says users can open live ad posts to review engagement and audience opinions. It also describes viewing creatives, hooks, and landing pages that are converting, and downloading video ads for users’ own campaigns. These are provider descriptions of the available research functions, not independent verification of ad performance.

Brand caps and trial rollover narrow access

The pricing page sets plan brand limits across a range from 1 to 30 brands, which makes the applicable cap a material part of plan selection. It also says trials roll into the regular monthly rate after 3 days unless canceled first, so a buyer must distinguish the trial charge from the recurring plan charge.

PowerAdSpy’s terms say the provider may suspend or terminate service access immediately for any reason, including a breach of the terms. The same terms say it is not responsible for third-party websites linked from the service. These terms affect access and linked-site responsibility, rather than the search controls themselves.

The service describes its database as populated by people around the world who watch and submit ads every day. Several details are listed under What we could not confirm.

Filters, comparisons, and exports support research

PowerAdSpy describes search and reporting functions that let buyers narrow and organize ad research.

  • The provider lists filters for geography, placement, engagement, age, and format, alongside its search fields.
  • Buyers can compare advertisers across networks, according to the provider.
  • Saved searches can notify users when watched advertisers launch new creative.
  • Ads can be sorted by date, shares, likes, or comments.
  • Reports can be exported as PDF or CSV, or sent to a BI stack via API, the provider says.

Compare ad research by coverage and access

When comparing ad research tools, check which sources and formats are covered, how geographic coverage is described, and which filters are available. Ask how often records are updated, what exports include, and whether plan limits fit the research task.

Match brand limits to your research task

PowerAdSpy presents the service for agencies, marketers, and ecommerce teams, and describes its database as social advertisements for media buyers, advertisers, and ad agencies. Buyers comparing advertisers can check whether the provider’s stated comparison scope matches their task.

The pricing page describes brand limits across plans, so teams monitoring multiple brands should establish which limit applies to the plan they are considering. Buyers focused on particular social channels can also compare the provider’s listed ad-spy tools with the sources their research requires.

What we could not confirm

  • Integrations and setup: requirements and supported connections
  • Database updates: frequency and submission-checking process
  • Trial coverage: eligible plans or integrations and offer relationship
  • Refunds: eligibility and request process
  • Plan brand caps: limit for each individual plan
  • Network coverage: plan-by-plan networks and formats
  • Exports: API documentation, limits, and report fields

Questions about Ad Search and billing

Which fields can buyers use to search ads?

The provider says Ad Search supports queries by keyword, advertiser, landing page, language, or niche. Buyers can use those fields to start a search, then narrow results using the filters described by the service.

How do users open Ad Search?

PowerAdSpy’s FAQ says users must log in and click Ad Search to see ads. The service describes this as the entry point for viewing results based on selected markets and keywords.

Can users export reports?

The provider says reports can be exported as PDF or CSV, or sent to a BI stack via API. Buyers assessing a reporting workflow should check which fields and limits apply to their intended export.

What happens when a search does not find an ad?

The provider says users who cannot find a specific ad can change their keyword or ask about a profile through User Suggestions. The service also describes keyword suggestions when a search returns no results.

How does the trial charge work?

The pricing page lists a trial charge followed by the regular monthly plan rate after the trial period unless the customer cancels first. It says customers can cancel before the trial ends to avoid the full plan rate.

What support channels does the provider list?

PowerAdSpy lists support through email, chat, Skype, and Telegram, and states that support is available 24/7. Users who cannot find an ad can also use the provider’s User Suggestions route.

Fit depends on scope and billing tolerance

Fits if the provider’s stated search fields and filters match the ad research task, and its advertiser-comparison scope is sufficient.

Probably not if the applicable brand limit does not fit the work.

Main risk… a trial rolling into the monthly rate unless canceled first, alongside a database the provider says is populated through submitted ads.
