Features · Ad tracking
Every ad your competitor runs. Explained, not just collected.
AdRadar gathers a competitor’s active and past ads from the public ad libraries into one archive, explains what each ad relies on, and tells you when something new appears.
AI brief · where to digExample
HubSpot’s five longest-running Meta ads all sell free guides, not the product.
Worth testing: a free template as the offer for your launch.
§ 01What you see
One archive. Every ad, taken apart.
01
Ad archive by channel
Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Google and LinkedIn. Each card has the image or video, the text, the link and the countries where it ran.
MetaGoogleLinkedIn
02
Days live
A long run often means an ad keeps working, so AdRadar marks ads that have stood the test of time at 7, 15, 30 and 90 days. The library does not show results, so treat it as a signal.

03
AI breakdown of every ad
The first line (hook), the angle (pain, result, social proof, comparison, price, urgency), the offer, the type of call to action (demo, trial, sign-up), the format (UGC, talking head, screen recording, carousel) and the tone.

04
Themes and momentum
What the competitor talks about most, how many new ads appear each week, and how offers and prices change in its ads.
05
Ads by country
If a brand has a separate Meta page for each country, AdRadar finds the biggest ones and merges them into one feed.
06
From ad to page
An ad points to a link, and the site behind it is tracked too. See the organic traffic it earns on its own.
§ 02Alerts
Events AdRadar tells you about.
You do not have to check the library. When a competitor’s ads change, you get a message with what happened and a link to the ad. Alerts go to Slack, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, Discord, email or your own webhook, instantly or as a digest, as your team sets it up.
- New adThe competitor is testing a new idea.
- Launch burstMany new ads at once: it looks like a new campaign or a release.

§ 05Honest limits
We show what is published, and nothing more.
AdRadar shows what runs and for how many days. It does not show budgets, conversions or results, and it does not guess audiences.
- Meta
- Shows more detail for ads in the EU and for political ads.
- Does not publish targeting.
- Gives impressions as a range.
- Spend
- Not shown. Only what runs, where and for how long.
§ 06Who it is for
Start from what already works.
Performance marketers
“Which Meta ads in our niche have run 90+ days?”
See which ads run long and which formats and offers are in use, and collect them in a swipe file instead of testing from scratch.
Product marketing
“What offers and prices do their ads lead with?”
Offers and prices from ads show a competitor’s positioning. Pair them with what customers complain about.
Agencies and founders
“What did the five companies we follow launch this week?”
Several competitors in one project, a weekly digest, and alerts where your team already works.
Questions
Which ad platforms do you cover?
The public ad libraries of Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Google and LinkedIn.
Can I see how much a competitor spends?
No. AdRadar shows what runs and for how many days, not budgets or conversions.
How fresh is the data?
Each competitor page shows when its ads were last checked, for example “Ads · 3 d ago”. On paid plans, Sync now refreshes ads and reviews on demand.
Is brand-query advertising complete?
Not yet. We show who bought search ads on a brand query and flag new advertisers, but coverage is partial.
