Publisher description, verbatimon Meta Ad Library, by users in the last 30 days among actors classified to this platform.
best #1 for “ads”
Strong at broad Meta ad coverage and easy to use with comprehensive exports, but fails with inaccurate data, unexpected/background scraping, ignored limits, and costly billing.
| Theme | Sentiment | Said | What they mean |
|---|---|---|---|
| Is the data right | 0 praised · 3 complained | 3 | nonsense and unusable resultswildly incorrect ad spend values“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 run | 1 praised · 2 complained | 3 | works after a few retriesunexpected background scraping without signaling“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 · 2 complained | 2 | charges incurred with no useful outputoverall expensive for the results“pulls basically everything. downside is that it ends up being expensive” — 5/5 |
| Does it return everything | 1 praised · 1 complained | 2 | broad data extraction across fieldsavailable export fields disappearing over time |
| Caps and ceilings | 0 praised · 1 complained | 1 | ignores configured MaxADS limit |
| What it supports | 3 praised · 0 complained | 3 | gathers ads across Meta platformsuseful for competitor ad monitoring“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 interface“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 |
