What PPSPY does that we don't

If any of these are essential to you, PPSPY may be the better fit:

Estimated Shopify sales and revenue per store (its sales tracker), plus a store-theme library — AdLibrarySpy shows measured traffic, not sales estimates.

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.
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.
