Ad Spy Overview

Instead of analyzing individual ad creatives, SpyTrend groups thousands of ads into a single webmaster entity (shared pixel, landing domain, and page ID) so a user can see a competitor's complete ad network at once. It ingests over 1B new Meta and TikTok ads monthly (Pro tier), AI-categorizes them into 360+ niches, and flags likely-profitable ads via StickyAds re-upload detection (ads still live 5+ days) while piercing common cloaking techniques.
