Every large ad platform publishes the ads running on it in a free public library: the [Meta Ad Library](/tools/meta-ad-library), the [Google Ads Transparency Center](/tools/google-ads-transparency-center), and the [TikTok](/tools/tiktok-ad-library), [LinkedIn](/tools/linkedin-ad-library), [Microsoft](/tools/microsoft-ad-library) and [Pinterest](/tools/pinterest-ad-library) libraries. No account is needed and advertisers are not told who searched.

## How to see a competitor's ads for free

- Start from the competitor's website and follow its own Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn link; that is the Page the ads run from.
- Search Google's Transparency Center by domain rather than name; one domain can hold several advertiser accounts.
- Set the country to your market; libraries index ads by where they were shown.
- Filter to active ads, then note each ad's start date and number of versions.

## What to look for

- Run time: an ad live after 60 to 90 days is the closest public signal of a winner.
- Versions: several cuts of one concept mean they are testing it.
- Hooks and angles: the first line or first three seconds show the pain, promise or proof they lead with.
- Offers and landing pages: the destination shows the real offer.
- Bursts and silences: many launches in a week is a campaign; a quiet account is a change.
- What stopped: the ads they switched off show what failed, if you saw them before they vanished.

## Why checking libraries by hand stops working

Meta removes an ordinary commercial ad the day it stops running unless it was delivered in the EU or UK. No library shows what changed since your last visit, none alert you to a launch, and each covers one platform.

## Track competitor ads automatically

Rival Ads watches the competitors you name across all six libraries, keeps every ad after it leaves the library, compares each read with the last (started, stopped, continued), alerts you to launches by email, Slack or Teams, transcribes each ad into its hook, angle and audience, captures landing pages with a dated price history, and writes an AI strategy read. Plans from $29/month with a 30-day free trial. Libraries publish no spend for ordinary commercial ads; Rival Ads shows only the reach and impression figures platforms publish.
