Publisher description, verbatimon Meta Ad Library, by users in the last 30 days among actors classified to this platform.
best #1 for “ad”
Good cross-Meta coverage and generally easy to use, but it often ignores limits/filters, returns inaccurate/nonsensical data, and can be expensive.
| Theme | Sentiment | Said | What they mean |
|---|---|---|---|
| Does it run | 1 praised · 3 complained | 4 | works after a few retriesignores filters and continues scraping“It's behaving strangely. It ignored MaxADS and instead of returning six results, it continued scraping without signaling for an hour. I spent $17 for nothing. This is not good. It must respect the posted limits.” — 1/5 |
| What it costs | 0 praised · 3 complained | 3 | unexpectedly high costs for failed runs“fetches the inactive ads too and because of this the costs for this actor sky rockets if someone willing or not willing ran the actor on large brands.” — 1/5 |
| Is the data right | 0 praised · 3 complained | 3 | returns nonsensical and wildly inaccurate data“The initial reason I wanted this was to get the promised ad spend. I could only see it once updated on the sheet but it was around 100 billion, so I doubt that is the actual spend.” — 3/5 |
| Does it return everything | 1 praised · 2 complained | 3 | pulls most ads and data fieldsincludes inactive ads unintentionally“Overall very good and easy to use. However, after several runs the number of fields to export will decrease significantly even when selecting 'all fields'.” — 4/5 |
| Caps and ceilings | 0 praised · 1 complained | 1 | ignores MaxADS limit parameter |
| What it supports | 3 praised · 0 complained | 3 | cross-Meta coverage for competitor analysis“Great tool to gather ads across all Meta platforms and get the price data for products they are promoting.” — 5/5 |
| Setup and docs | 1 praised · 0 complained | 1 | simple and easy to use |
