See the ads competitors run, from the platforms' public ad libraries: the Google Ads Transparency Center, the Meta Ad Library and TikTok's ads library. Each ad comes with its first and last shown dates, whether it's active, and a link to it in the library. As a watchlist, it reports new and stopped ads. Nothing to set up beyond your Apify sign-in.

What it costs
Above $0.05 for one request, or before anything recurring, Claude gives one estimate and waits for your yes; smaller reads just run. Figures are at Bronze, Apify's paid-plan price; lower on Silver and Gold. From 7 November 2026, reads through the data providers (eBay, Etsy, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe's, Trustpilot, Meta and TikTok ads) cost about twice as much on Apify's free plan, and TikTok Shop product rows and store-technology lookups about one and a half times; Claude quotes both prices when they differ. Every per-result price is on the pricing page.
| Job | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| One brand on one platform, up to 100 ads | about $0.15 (Google) to $0.18 (TikTok); about $0.05 at 30 ads |
| Meta or TikTok | plus $0.0035 per library page (30 Meta or 12 TikTok ads) |
| Watchlist, 5 brands on Google, daily | about $0.48 a month after a first run of up to $0.76 |
Limits
- TikTok's library covers ads shown in the EU, the UK and Switzerland, not US-only ads
- Google gives no text for image and video ads
- An ad counts as stopped only after two runs agree
- Creatives are linked, never downloaded or stored
As a watch
Ask for it on a schedule and Claude saves it as a watch in your Apify account, with a maximum cost per run. It shows the monthly cost and waits for your yes before saving. The first run records a starting point; changes are reported from the next one. See how watches work.
