A billion ads. And you still can't make one.
BigSpy is cheap. But cheap data, no creative tools, and a cluttered UI isn't saving you money. It's wasting your time.

What is BigSpy?
BigSpy claims a billion ads across 7+ platforms. And it's free to start. Sounds amazing until you actually use it. Half the ads are dead. The interface feels like a popup ad from 2014. And once you find something decent, you're on your own. No generation. No copywriting. No tracking. Just a search bar, a cluttered dashboard, and a "you figure it out" vibe.
What BigSpy does well
- 7+ platforms. Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube — they cover a lot.
- Free tier exists. Good for tire-kicking.
- Cheap entry point. $9/month gets you in the door.
What BigSpy is missing
- A billion ads and most of them are from 2020. Good luck finding a winner in that haystack.
- The UI looks like it was designed by someone who hates you. Ads everywhere. Cluttered mess.
- No AI generation. No copywriting. You find an ad. Cool. Now go open 4 other tabs.
- No brand tracking. No alerts. Your competitor could rebrand and you'd find out on Twitter.
- No team features. Solo only. Hope you don't have a business partner.
- Free tier is basically a demo with a lock on everything useful.
