## About

AdSpendSpy is a competitive advertising intelligence tool for Meta (Facebook and Instagram). It answers one question for a named competitor: which ads are running, how long have they run, roughly how much do they cost, and where do they send the click.

**What it is:** a research tool for media buyers, performance marketers, DTC founders and agencies who want to see which creatives a competitor keeps funding before spending their own budget on an untested idea.

**What it is not:** it is not a Meta product and is not affiliated with Meta. It is not an ad manager — you cannot create, edit or publish ads with it. It is not a media buying platform, not an attribution or analytics tool, and it does not report any advertiser's verified invoices. It covers Meta only: no TikTok, no Google Ads, no LinkedIn.

- **Category:** competitive ad intelligence / ad spend research
- **Platform:** web application, any modern browser; no installation
- **Interfaces:** web app, REST API (official Python and TypeScript clients), MCP server
- **Languages:** 27 — Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese
- **Data source:** the public Meta Ad Library
- **Website:** https://www.adspendspy.com

## How the spend estimate works

This is the mechanism behind every number AdSpendSpy shows, and the honest description of its limits.

1. Meta publishes, for many ads in its Ad Library, a breakdown of **reported reach by country, age band and gender**.
2. AdSpendSpy multiplies each of those cells by an **estimated CPM** (cost per 1,000 impressions) for that exact country, age band and gender, expressed in EUR. Country multipliers anchor an EU-wide baseline to local media costs; reach is used as an impressions proxy.
3. The cells are summed into a **cumulative estimated spend in EUR** per ad, then rolled up per advertiser, per landing page and per hook.

**Where the data is strongest:** the EU and the UK, where the CPM configuration is data-driven per country, age and gender.

**Where it is extrapolated:** non-EU markets. United States figures are derived from EU/UK reach using a reach multiplier of roughly 2.0 and a US CPM of about €10.50. That is an extrapolation and is labelled as one — it is not native US demographic data.

**What the number is not:** it is an estimate, never an advertiser's verified bill. Meta does not publish demographic delivery data for every ad, coverage differs by ad and region, and a zero can mean "no data available" rather than "no spend". Spend alone proves nothing about an advertiser's revenue, profitability or return on investment — it shows what a brand keeps paying for, which is a signal about the creative, not about the business.

It exposes seven tools for one public advertiser example (Alex Hormozi, page 116482854782233): find the advertiser, list ads, inspect an ad, summarise cumulative estimated spend in EUR, and rank its landing pages by estimated spend. Limit: 60 requests per IP per rolling minute; successful data responses are cached for five minutes; HTTP 429 carries `Retry-After`.
- **Account MCP endpoint:** `https://www.adspendspy.com/mcp`, authenticated with an account API key, covering your own tracked advertisers. Supports MCP 2025-11-25 and 2026-07-28 over stateless Streamable HTTP.
- **MCP prompts:** both endpoints expose `rebuild_landing_page` and `landing_page_teardown`; they never consume API requests.
- **Claude Code & Codex plugin:** `/plugin marketplace add adspendspy/meta-ad-library-spend-api` installs the MCP connection plus a skill that explains why a top-spending landing page converts and rebuilds its structure for your own offer with original copy (https://github.com/adspendspy/meta-ad-library-spend-api/tree/main/plugins/adspendspy).
- **MCP directories:** listed in the MCP Registry as `com.adspendspy/adspendspy` (account endpoint) and `com.adspendspy/adspendspy-demo` (keyless demo): https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0/servers?search=com.adspendspy
- **REST API:** key-authenticated, account-scoped. 1,000 requests per key per day, up to five active keys per account. Official clients: `pip install adspendspy` and `npm install adspendspy`.
- **Automation endpoints (paid plans):** `GET /api/v1/ads/new.php` (new ads of tracked brands, event `ad.new`), `GET /api/v1/alerts/list.php` (spend alerts, event `ad.spend_alert`), `POST /api/v1/webhooks/subscribe.php`, `POST /api/v1/webhooks/unsubscribe.php`, `GET /api/v1/webhooks/list.php`. Each webhook delivery is one JSON event signed with `X-AdSpendSpy-Signature`.
- **Webhooks for new ads and spend alerts:** https://www.adspendspy.com/api-docs#automations
- **OpenAPI 3.0 spec:** `https://www.adspendspy.com/openapi.json` describes all 16 REST endpoints (parameters, API-key and OAuth security, error format, examples, signed webhook callbacks). API catalog: `https://www.adspendspy.com/.well-known/api-catalog`.
- **Documentation:** [API docs](https://www.adspendspy.com/api-docs) · [clients on GitHub](https://github.com/adspendspy/meta-ad-library-spend-api)
- **Integrations:** [setup guides](https://www.adspendspy.com/integrations) for the AdSpendSpy API, AdSpendSpy MCP, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex and ChatGPT developer mode.
- **Reading the amounts correctly:** all figures are cumulative estimates in EUR, not spend accrued during a selected window. A `timeframe` filter selects when ads were *last seen*, not the period spend accrued in. Creative breakdowns sample at most 1,000 matching ads and the response metadata states the matched and sampled counts. A zero estimate can mean the data is unavailable.

## Pricing

Prices in USD. Billing runs through Stripe; you can cancel at any time and keep access until the end of the current billing period.

## What AdSpendSpy does not do

- It does not report verified ad spend. Every figure is an estimate derived from published reach and modelled CPM.
- It does not cover every ad. Meta publishes demographic delivery data for some ads only, so some ads carry no estimate at all.
- It does not measure native US demographics. US figures are extrapolated from EU/UK reach and labelled as extrapolation.
- It does not create, edit, publish or manage ads, and it connects to no ad account.
- It does not cover TikTok, Google Ads, LinkedIn or any platform outside Meta.
- It does not grant rights to any creative it displays. Rights stay with the owner; access to an ad is not permission to reuse it.
- It does not report revenue, profit or return on ad spend for the advertisers it tracks.
- It is not a team product today: projects organise a single account, with no invitations or shared workspaces.

## FAQ

**How does AdSpendSpy compare with the Meta Ad Library?**
AdSpendSpy adds a research workflow around the same public data: estimated ad spend rankings, advertiser tracking, landing pages, ad breakdowns, saved lists and alerts. You can compare campaigns without rebuilding the research each time.

**Is it legal to research competitors' Meta ads?**
AdSpendSpy organises publicly available Meta Ad Library data for competitor research. Use the findings as inspiration for original work. Rights to the creative remain with its owner; access to an ad does not give permission to reuse it.

**How is estimated ad spend calculated?**
Where demographic reach is available, estimated CPM rates adjusted for country, age and gender are applied, and reach may be used as an impressions proxy. Data availability differs by ad and region, so the result is an estimate, not an advertiser's verified bill.

**Is there a free trial?**
Yes. Starter and Professional start with a 7-day free trial (14 days through an AdSpendSpy partner link or partner code). A card is required, nothing is charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel any time before then. During the trial you can explore tracked advertisers' ads, landing pages, demographics and ad breakdowns where data is available.

**How do I find the best Meta ads for my niche?**
Start with brands competing for your audience. Compare estimated ad spend and running time, then study the ads themselves and look for a hook, product demo or offer you can adapt. Your own tests decide what works.

**Can I cancel any time?**
Yes. Cancel whenever you like and keep access until the end of the current billing period. An active subscription is required to keep tracking advertisers.

**Can an AI assistant query AdSpendSpy directly?**
Yes. The public MCP endpoint at `https://www.adspendspy.com/mcp-demo` needs no account and no key. Account-scoped data is available through the MCP endpoint at `https://www.adspendspy.com/mcp` and through the REST API.
