AdPlexity Review: 7 Spy Tools, 100M+ Ads, Zero Guesswork!

Running ad campaigns without knowing what your competitors are doing is basically burning budget to learn things someone else already figured out.

Every affiliate marketer eventually hits the same wall.

You pick a vertical, you pick a GEO, you test creatives.

Some work, most don’t. And the whole time, other people are already running proven funnels in that exact niche.

That’s the gap spy tools exist to fill.

Instead of starting from zero, you look at what’s already working and build from there.

AdPlexity has been one of the most recognized names in that space for over a decade.

It covers more ad formats than most tools in its category: Native, Desktop, Mobile, Push, Adult, Youtube, and now Social.

Each one is a separate tool with its own database and its own filters.

The question is whether it’s actually worth it for your workflow.

This Adplexity  review covers all seven tools, what each one does, where the limits are, and who gets the most value from a subscription.

What Is AdPlexity?

AdPlexity has been around since 2015, starting out of Hong Kong and building a reputation as one of the most used competitive research platforms in affiliate marketing.

At its core, it lets you see what other advertisers are running.

Their creatives, their landing pages, the traffic sources they’re buying from, the affiliate networks they’re promoting.

Instead of running blind tests to figure out what works in a vertical or GEO, you can study campaigns that are already active and use that as your starting point.

The platform is not a single tool.

It’s a suite of seven spy tools, each built for a different ad format: native, desktop display, mobile, push, adult traffic, YouTube, and social media ads.

Each one has its own database, its own filters, and its own subscription.

That modular setup is one of the more practical things about AdPlexity.

You pay for what you actually use.

You’re not stuck with a host of other tools you don’t use and pay a whole lot more.

It’s built for performance marketers: affiliates, media buyers, lead gen specialists, agencies.

People who run campaigns across ad networks and need real data to back their decisions.

Main Features of AdPlexity

Seven tools, one login.

Here’s what you’re actually getting with each one.

7 Competitive Intelligence Tools

Each tool in the AdPlexity suite targets a specific ad format.

The interface is consistent across all of them, so once you’ve used one, the others feel familiar.

What differs is the database, the filters, and the type of ad data you’re working with.

AdPlexity Native

The native one is probably the most fully-featured tool in the suite right now.

It monitors native advertising across nine major networks:

• • Outbrain
  • Taboola
  • MGID
  • RevContent
  • AdsKeeper
  • Yahoo Gemini
  • AdNow
  • Nativo
  • AdBlade

With over 20 million ads across 60+ countries and AI ad categorisation already live, it’s the go-to for anyone running native traffic seriously.

AdPlexity Desktop

This is where you go for popup and display banner research.

It shows ads from seventeen traffic sources working across 60+ countries.

And if you work in Sweeps, Finance, or Software Downloads, you’ll find plenty to dig into here.

Not the flashiest tool in the suite, but it does the job well.

AdPlexity Mobile

This one stands out for mVAS research.

Most spy tools give you country-level data.

AdPlexity Mobile lets you filter campaigns down to specific mobile carriers in specific GEOs, across 260+ networks.

That level of detail is rare and genuinely useful when you’re trying to figure out what’s converting on carrier-billed offers.

AdPlexity Push

The push tool covers push notification campaigns from 10 traffic sources including PropellerAds, RichAds, MGID, EvaDav, and AdsTerra.

 Push traffic has calmed down since its 2019-2020 peak, but it’s still very active for Sweeps, Antivirus, and Finance offers.

If that’s your vertical, the 1 million+ ads across 90+ countries gives you a solid base to research from.

AdPlexity Adult

AdPlexity Adult does exactly what it says, but here’s something worth knowing: VPNs, antivirus, gambling, and crypto ads show up here too.

Advertisers follow the traffic, so if you’re in any of those verticals and you haven’t looked at what’s running on adult traffic sources, you might be missing something.

It has over 19 million ads across 75 countries and 10 networks.

AdPlexity Video

Their YouTube ads spy tool covers pre-roll video ads, banner ads in the YouTube feed, and promoted image ads in the recommended list.

It has eight million ads across more than 60 countries, with filters for video category, length, likes, and views.

YouTube as a traffic source for affiliates has been growing, and this tool gives you a proper way to research it instead of guessing at what angles work.

AdPlexity Social

This one is the newest addition in the growing lineup and focuses on Meta ads: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and more.

It works differently enough from the rest of the suite that we’ve written a separate review for it.

Over 100 Million Ads and Counting

Across all seven tools combined, AdPlexity’s database sits at over 100 million ads.

New ones get added continuously, so what you’re searching through is live data, not a static archive.

What that actually means for you: you’re not going to run dry.

Whether you’re tracking what’s live in a specific GEO right now, hunting for campaigns that have been active for at least 90 days (a reliable indicator that something is converting), or just looking for fresh creative angles when you hit a wall, there’s enough depth here to keep research meaningful.

Replicate Landing Pages

Probably one of the features you’ll end up using the most.

When you find a landing page worth studying, you can download the whole thing: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, all of it.

Not a screenshot, but the actual working files.

You have two options.

Download a zip file directly to your machine, or send it to LanderLab in one click if that’s where you build and host your pages.

LanderLab lets you edit and deploy from there without touching any code.

If you’ve ever spent an afternoon manually rebuilding a competitor landing page from scratch, you’ll appreciate how much time this saves.

Results by Domain

AdPlexity’s new feature takes competitor research further by grouping all of an advertiser’s ads based on domain.

You can see the total hits, ads, country they’re running in, and more.

This also helps you quickly identify who your competitors are with just a few filters.

Reports & Alerts

Get alerted when a competitor adds a new ad!

Simply add a competitor’s tracking domain to your watchlist and AdPlexity notifies you inside the platform whenever they launch something new.

No need to run the same search every day.

The new reports feature takes this even further!

You can create a report so that you won’t have to keep running the same search every time.

With reports, you can add the filters and even get notified via email or Slack.

Convenient, right?

Targeted Search Filters

Filters are how you get from millions of ads to the handful that are actually relevant to what you’re working on.

Every tool has a left-side filter panel.

The common ones across most tools:

• Days Running / Date Range: narrow by campaign age or set a specific date window
• Device Type: desktop, mobile, or tablet depending on the tool
• Country: 60 to 90+ countries depending on the format
• Landing Page Language: useful when you’re researching non-English GEOs
• Affiliate Network: show only ads tied to specific CPA networks you’re working with
• Tracking Tool: filter by Voluum, RedTrack, ClickFlare, and others
• Bid Price Range: available where bid data exists, though not every ad includes it

The search bar adds another layer: keyword search in the ad title or on the landing page, search by advertiser domain, by publisher, or by placement ID.

Trending Ads

The Trending section shows which advertisers are picking up momentum right now.

Filter by country, domain type (landing page, tracking, or offer/outgoing), and time window: 3, 7, 14, or 30 days.

Each result shows the advertiser domain, number of active ads, traffic sources, countries covered, and sample creatives.

Good for a quick pulse check on what offers are heating up in a GEO before you commit to a deeper research session.

Favorites

You can save any ad or landing page to a Favorites folder and organize them however makes sense for your workflow.

No cap on the number of folders.

Works well for keeping research tidy across different verticals or when you’re tracking multiple advertisers over time.

Support and Onboarding

Before you subscribe, AdPlexity offers a 30-minute demo call.

This means a live walkthrough with their team, which is more useful than trying to reverse-engineer the interface on your own.

The knowledge base covers the basics but doesn’t always keep pace with interface updates.

Live chat is available on-site, and based on experience, response times are typically within a business day.

AdPlexity Plans and Pricing

Each AdPlexity tool is priced separately.

No bundles, no combo deals.

You subscribe to the formats you actually use and skip the rest.

Every plan includes unlimited searches, landing page downloads, access to the Trending section, and a dedicated account manager.

Monthly and annual billing are both available.

Annual saves you roughly 17 to 20% depending on the tool.

The only available payment options are Paypal and credit card.

Here’s the current price breakdown:

• AdPlexity Native – $249/month, or $208/month billed annually.

How to Use AdPlexity

Getting started is straightforward.

Head to Adplexity’s website and click on Get Started.

Choose the tool you want to subscribe to, and sign up. There is no free trial though.

AdPlexity offers a 30-minute demo call instead, and refund requests within 24 hours of subscribing may be considered if there are technical issues preventing you from accessing the tools.

Once youR payment’s done, head over to the subscription page and click on any of the tool links under Active Subscriptions.

Now, let’s go over how to use each one.

Just a heads up—we’ll be using the old version on the platform.

How to Use AdPlexity Native

Here’s the main dashboard for Adplexity Native.

According to the ad count on the left pane, Adplexity Native currently has more than 21 million ads in its database.

As you can see, you have filters on the left pane as well as at the top of the page.

Right now, we’re at the ads page.

Filters

At the top of this page are a few options:

• Search bar, where you place keywords
• Search by: Keyword , image, advertiser, publisher, and placement
• Search on: everywhere, landing page, in the ad title, in arbitrage keywords

One of Adplexity’s newest features is that you can perform a boolean search.

This means you can refine your search using AND and OR operators.

On the left pane, we have the following filters:

• Number of days running
• Dates running
• Vertical
• Device Type
• Country
• Landing page language
• Traffic source
• Affiliate network
• Arbitrage networks
• Technology (choices include Google Ads, Native Ads, Woocommerce, Shopify, Teespring, and more)
• Tracking tool
• Bid price range

Ad Details

Now for every ad result card, this is what we see:

• Ad image
• Ad text
• Countries it’s running in
• Number of days it’s been active
• Native ad platforms it’s running in
• Favorites option (star icon)
• Open in new tab option (arrow icon)

In the new tab, we’ll find more details about this ad—so much more than what can be seen with other native ads spy tools out there.

Upon opening, you’ll see the countries and device types this ad is running in on the left pane.

On the main dashboard is the list of landing pages detected for this ad alone.

Then there’s the ad trend and bid history.

Before we move on to other ad details, let us first talk about the Landing pages section.

You’ll find the URL, when it was first seen, when it was last seen, and the number of days it has been running.

If you click on the Show More button, you’ll see a preview of the landing page and other details about it.

This includes:

• Tracking software
• Affiliate networks
• Arbitrage networks
• Arbitrage keywords
• Redirect chain
• Outgoing URLs

The redirect chain helps you identify the tracking domain name, which can be useful when searching for ads by a specific advertiser.

The outgoing URLs are the links on the webpage, which is useful if you’d like to know where the links and CTA buttons head to.

Want to see more ads from the same advertiser? Just click on the green button on the bottom left.

There’s also the option to download the landing page, or to import it directly to LanderLab.

If you want to use the last option, make sure you have an active subscription.

Read our review of LanderLab to learn more about this landing page builder and management platform.

Now let’s go back to the rest of the Ad Details page.

Scroll a down and you’ll see the following charts:

• Week trend
• Device type
• Top 10 publishers by duration
• Top 10 publishers by volume
• Top 10 placements by duration
• Top 10 placement by volume
• Traffic sources by duration
• Traffic sources by volume

Landing Pages

Let’s go back to the main dashboard and search for ads based on landing pages.

Simply toggle the switch on the upper left corner of the page.

The results page shows webpages in the same style as ad results.

Each card also shows the same items: favorites, open in new tab, country list, days running, and traffic sources count.

If you open one landing page in a new page, the first thing you’ll see is that it looks like what shows up when you click on the Show More button in the ad details page.

But scroll further down the page and you’ll see ads promoting this landing page.

Domains

Let’s try searching for ads based on domains.

If you already know your competitor’s domain name, this is your best bet for finding them fast.

You can use the same filters as shown in the ads page.

For each domain in the results, you’ll see:

• Hits
• Ads (search) – displays the number of active and inactive ads from this domain, based on your filters
• New Ads – for the past number days according to your calendar filter
• Ads (total) – displays the domain’s overall number of active and inactive ads
• Country
• Newest ads – preview of the images used for the ads
• Actions – clicking on the image button takes you to the Ads page with the advertiser’s domain pre-filled in the search filter

Trending

If you want to see what’s booming the past 3, 7, 14, and 30 days, head over to the Trending page.

Here, you can filter ads:

• Days running
• Period
• Country
• Traffic source

You can also search for results based on:

• Landing pages domains
• Tracking domains
• Offer or outgoing domains
• Arbitrage keywords (currently in beta)

Reports

If you want to be notified about new ads that show up based on specific filters, you can create a report.

Head over to the Reports page and create a new report.

Add a report name and add your filters.

It uses the boolean search filters we talked about a while ago.

You can be notified via email or Slack.

Just click on Share Report, choose how you want to receive the report, and choose how often you want to be notified.

You can also export the ads as CSV.

How to Use AdPlexity Desktop

With 11.5 million ads in its collection, you’ll surely find what you’re looking for when it comes to pop and banner ads for desktop.

The interface for AdPlexity Desktop works just like AdPlexity Native.

There are only a handful of differences.

AdPlexity Desktop has Ad Type (popup and display web) and Size filters.

The Vertical filter is absent.

Also, in the Trending page, only the following tabs are available:

• Landing Pages Domain
• Tracking Domain
• Offer / Outgoing Domains

One thing I forgot to mention in AdPlexity Native is that you can also set Alerts for when a domain releases a new ad.

All you have to do is click on the bell icon on the upper right corner of the page, place the domain name, and you’re good to go.

How to Use AdPlexity Mobile

This tool’s database contains almost 22 million mobile ads.

The mobile tool’s dashboard is the same as the first two that we’ve discussed.

The only notable differences are:

• No Vertical filter
• Ad Type filter – popup and redirects
• Connection – includes Wifi and a multitude of carriers

If you use the country filter, the connection filter will show only carriers available to that specific country.

There’s also no toggle to display Ads or LPs.

How to Use AdPlexity Push

AdPlexity Push has collected more than 1.2 million push notification ads.

For this push ads spy tool, the toggle between Ads and LPs is back.

As for the filters, the Vertical and Connection options are available.

Also worth noting in the Ad Details page, it does not have top placements charts like the others.

How to Use AdPlexity Video

AdPlexity Video is also often referred to as AdPlexity YouTube.

As of this review, it has amassed almost 8 million video ads.

Filters

In its filters, you can find several additional ones.

There’s Ad Type, where you can choose between YouTube Banner, Pre-roll, Promoted, or all of the above.

Next is Video Category, with the options such as:

• People & Blogs
• Entertainment
• Howto & Style
• Science & Technology
• Education
• Travel & Events

…and several more.

Another unique filter is the Video Type, which lets you narrow down video results based on whether they are Unlisted or Public.

Choose to show only videos according to its:

• Video length
• Video likes
• Video views

Ad Results

When it comes to viewing results, the toggle for Ads and LPs is available here.

Also, you can sort the results according to:

• Newest
• Running longest (Timeframe)
• Running longest (Global)
• Most seen
• Most likes
• Most views gained

The details per ad card are slightly different from the others above.

You won’t see the traffic source since you know by default that it’s YouTube.

What you’ll see are:

• The video thumbnail
• The video title
• The number of likes
• The number of views
• How long it’s been running

Just like the others, you can open the ad details in a new tab and you can also add it to your favorites.

Ad Details

The details  shown here are also slightly different.

You can still see the country and device type.

Instead of a landing page preview, you’ll have a preview of the video.

You can click on it and watch the video within AdPlexity.

The channel and video links are also available, so you can click on them and view the respective pages on YouTube.

Clicking on the More Ads by this channel will open up the AdPlexity Video search page for you with the channel name pre-filled.

The details on landing pages are also shown.

As for the charts, you’ll see:

• Video views timeline
• Ad trend
• Week trend
• Device type

How to Use AdPlexity Adult

Unlike the previous tools that can be accessed under your AdPlexity.com account, the adult tool can be accessed at AdPlexityAdult.com.

So make sure you double-check where you’re logging in.

Nevertheless, the interface is still the same.

Only the following filters are different:

• Ad Type – popup and mobile web
• Size – multiple banner sizes, such as 300×300, 300×250, and so on
• Connection – WiFi and various carriers

Just in case you are wondering, you can also change the result view between table format and card format.

The above image shows the results in table format.

AdPlexity Verdict

AdPlexity has been around long enough to earn its place as one of the standard tools in performance marketing research.

After using it across multiple traffic sources, it’s easy to see why it keeps showing up on shortlists.

The depth of data is real.

The filtering options are practical.

Features like landing page downloads, one-click competitor searches, and Alerts make it useful for day-to-day research, not just occasional check-ins.

For affiliates and media buyers who run campaigns seriously, Adplexity seriously delivers!

The modular pricing cuts both ways.

Good news: you only pay for what’s relevant to your traffic sources.

Less good news: if you work across native, mobile, and push, you’re looking at three separate subscriptions with no bundle discount to offset the cost.

Worth doing the math before you subscribe to multiple tools at once.
