A swipe file doesn't make ads. This does.
Foreplay helps you save ads. Cool. You still need a designer, a copywriter, and 3 other tools. Or you could just... make the ad.

What is Foreplay?
Foreplay lets you save ads you find online and put them on boards. Think Pinterest for ads. You can browse what competitors run, save the ones you like, and send creative briefs to your team. That's it. You still need a designer. You still need a copywriter. You still need 3 other tools to actually make something.
What Foreplay does well
- Clean UI. Boards are easy to organize.
- Creative briefs and storyboard templates save time
- Popular with creative strategists for a reason
- Spyder feature tracks competitor ads
What Foreplay is missing
- You find a killer ad. Then what? You still need a designer.
- No AI copywriting. Hope you enjoy staring at a blank doc.
- No landing page screenshots. No video transcripts.
- Same price as the all-in-one option. But you get half the tools.
- It's a mood board. Mood boards don't make money.
