What Minea does that we don't
If any of these are essential to you, Minea may be the better fit:
- Influencer product placements. Minea lists them alongside Facebook ads; AdLibrarySpy’s ad index is Meta ads only.
- Dropshipping-specific sourcing (daily niche lists and an AliExpress product finder).
Why teams pick AdLibrarySpy
- It costs nothing: no card, no trial clock, no credits that run out mid-research.
- Store intelligence built in: SimilarWeb-measured traffic, products, apps and pixels next to the ads.
- Ads ranked by impressions, in Meta’s own Ad Library order, most-seen first: the closest public signal of where a niche’s ad budget goes.
- No lookup quotas, no cap on tracked brands, and unlimited free teammates.
- A free MCP server, so Claude and other AI assistants can search shops and ads for you — none of the paid tools offer that free.
