Our platform is designed as a decision-support tool for marketers actively testing ads and funnels, combining deep research capabilities with AI-powered creative production so you can move from insight to execution without switching between multiple tools.
Unlike passive ad libraries, GetHookd focuses on actionable intelligence. Performance scoring is based on real ad behavior rather than vanity metrics, giving you confidence that the ads you're studying are genuinely driving results.
GetHookd provides everything you need to research, analyze, and recreate high-performing ads in one place.
The Explore Ads feature gives you access to over 65 million ads across Meta and Google, with filters for niche, format, engagement, demographics, and run time. You can drill down to find exactly what's performing in your market without endless scrolling.
Save Ads lets you store any creative permanently in your personal library, organized by brand, client, or campaign, so your best references stay accessible even after the original ads stop running.
Brand Spy shows you what competitors are actually scaling, not just what's live. It surfaces their top-performing ads, landing pages, and traffic sources so you can see the full picture of their strategy. Instead of guessing which creatives matter, you get clear signals on where they're investing and what's driving their results.
Our Ad transcription tool converts video ads into text instantly, pulling out hooks, CTAs, and messaging structures you can adapt for your own campaigns. It's the fastest way to break down what makes a winning ad work and use those insights as a foundation for new scripts and copy.
Clone Ads lets you take any high-performing image, yours or a competitor's, and generate dozens of variations in seconds. It can create new versions with different colors, avatars, formats, and styles, giving you fresh creatives to test without waiting on a designer or starting from scratch.
We provide ready-to-use static ad templates across dozens of niches so you can launch professional creatives in minutes. The Funnel Templates provide landing page designs modeled after proven flows from top-converting brands. Both are built to help you move faster and test more without sacrificing quality.
We combine ad research, competitor tracking, and creative production in a single workflow. Instead of jumping between tools to find ads, analyze performance, and create variations, you get everything in one place, saving time and reducing friction.
Our AI tools let you act on insights immediately. Clone Ads generates image variations in seconds, AI Script Generation produces hooks and angles from proven frameworks, and Ads Transcription breaks down winning videos into usable copy. You're creating, not just researching.

All GetHookd plans include a 7-day free trial, and annual billing offers a 25% discount.
AdSpy is an ad intelligence tool primarily focused on Facebook and Instagram ad research. The platform provides a searchable database of ads with filters for keywords, advertisers, engagement metrics, and demographics.
It's designed for marketers looking to research competitors' creative assets and find ad inspiration across social platforms. However, the platform focuses solely on ad discovery. It doesn't include tools for creating or producing ads based on what you find.
AdSpy offers a single plan priced at $149 per month, making testing costly. There are no lower-cost entry plans for solopreneurs or small teams that require ongoing access at an affordable price point. It doesn’t offer a free plan, but occasional promo codes online provide short trials with approximately 1,000–2,000 ad views before subscribing.
Minea is an ad spy and product research tool for ecommerce brands and dropshippers that tracks ads across major social platforms. It uses a credit system where advanced searches and exports consume more credits, and its focus is on product research and ad discovery rather than creative production.
Minea offers a free plan with 200 credits to test its basic features. It also provides several paid tiers for users who need more searches, data, and advanced tools.
Ad spy tools are only as valuable as what you can do with the insights they provide. AdSpy and Minea both offer large databases and useful filters for discovering competitor ads, but they stop at research.
Once you find a winning concept, you're searching for copywriters, waiting on designers, or piecing together creatives in separate tools. That gap between insight and execution is where ad spend gets wasted and momentum stalls.
We built GetHookd to close that gap entirely. Our platform combines ad research with AI-powered creative production, so you can go from discovering a winning ad to generating scripts, cloning visuals, and launching new variations without leaving the dashboard.
Brand Spy shows you which ads competitors are actually scaling, while tools like AI Script Generation and Clone Ads help you turn those insights into ready-to-test creatives in minutes. It's a complete workflow designed for marketers who move fast.
For dropshippers, agencies, or media buyers scaling ad spend, the choice comes down to speed and completeness. GetHookd gives you the research depth to find what's working, the performance signals to know it's being scaled, and the AI production tools to act on it—all in one platform at a fraction of AdSpy's cost.
The Facebook Ad Library shows all active ads from any brand but offers no performance data or filtering beyond basic searches. Ad spy tools like GetHookd add performance signals, advanced filters, competitor tracking, and creative analysis, so you can identify ads worth replicating instead of scrolling through everything blindly.
AdSpy may be worth the cost if you need access to a large Facebook and Instagram ad database with advanced filters, but its single $149/month plan requires an upfront commitment and lacks a free trial, making it a tougher value choice for smaller advertisers or beginners.
Yes, Minea offers a free tier with about 200 credits, but it covers only basic searches and runs out quickly, so most users will need a paid plan to access meaningful data and features.
GetHookd's Brand Spy feature lets you monitor specific competitors and see their top-performing ads, landing pages, and traffic sources. Unlike basic ad libraries that show everything a brand is running, Brand Spy surfaces the creatives that are actually being scaled, helping you focus on what's driving results.
No. GetHookd is designed for marketers, not developers. Our AI tools, Brand Spy, and creative templates require no technical knowledge; just click, customize, and launch.
