The biggest database vs the widest reach. Both just search.
AdSpy dominates Facebook/Instagram data. PowerAdSpy covers 6+ platforms. Two different approaches to the same problem — finding ads. Neither solves what comes after.
Last updated: April 2026
Quick Verdict
AdSpy is better for serious Facebook/Instagram researchers who need precise data. PowerAdSpy is better for users who need multi-platform coverage at a lower price. Both are search-only tools.
What is AdSpy?
AdSpy has 150 million+ ads, primarily from Facebook and Instagram. Engagement data, demographic targeting info, and strong filters. It's the gold standard for Facebook ad research. But it's $149/month for a single plan, the UI hasn't changed in years, and there are no creative tools.
What is PowerAdSpy?
PowerAdSpy covers more platforms — Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google, Pinterest, and Reddit. It has a larger claimed database and lower entry pricing. But data quality and accuracy aren't as consistent as AdSpy. The interface feels cluttered, and advanced features require higher tiers.

But what if you didn't have to choose?
There's a third option.
AdSpy: $149. PowerAdSpy: $49 to $249. For what? A search bar.
You type a keyword. You scroll through ads. You screenshot the good ones. Then you open Canva. Then ChatGPT. Then you Slack your designer. Then you wait. Then you go back and forth. Then — maybe — you launch.
That workflow is broken. And paying more for a fancier search bar doesn't fix it.
