Spy Tools
Spy tools collect publicly shown ads, landing pages and creatives across networks so media buyers can research angles, offers and trends in a vertical. Useful tools differ in which networks and geos they actually cover, how fresh the data is and how well you can filter and export. Buy a seat for research, or buy the tool business itself with its data pipeline and subscribers.

FAQ
What data do ad spy tools use?
They index ads and landing pages that are publicly shown to users, collected through crawlers, panels or public ad libraries. Sellers should describe the collection method in the Node Passport.
Is a spy tool seat transferable?
Only where the vendor's terms allow account transfers. The listing should state the vendor, plan and how access is handed over.
How do I compare network coverage between spy tools?
Ask for per-network ad counts in your target geos and test searches for known competitors. Headline database sizes are self-reported unless verified.
