A Facebook Ad Spy Tool That Also Runs Your Ads
See the ads your competitors are running right now, turn the best ideas into your own creative, and let Geniusko launch and optimise them on Meta every day — spying and doing in one place, not two.
Updated August 2, 2026
A Facebook ad spy tool lets you see the ads your competitors are running on Facebook and Instagram — the creative, the copy and the offers — so you can learn what's working in your market before spending your own budget. Most spy tools stop there: they show you the ads and leave the rest to you. Geniusko brings a competitor ad feed sourced from Meta's Ad Library into the same product that then turns the inspiration into your own ads with AI and runs and optimises them daily — so competitor research actually turns into live campaigns instead of a folder of screenshots.
What a Facebook ad spy tool does
The point of any spy tool is to remove the guesswork from what to test next. These are the jobs a spy tool does for you:
Show competitor ads
Reveals the ads a competitor is currently running — images, video, headlines and copy — so you can see their angles instead of guessing.
Surface winning angles
The ads a brand keeps running are usually the ones that work, so a steady feed of them is a shortlist of proven hooks to react to.
Track what's live now
Because it reads from Meta's Ad Library, it shows what is running today — not a stale swipe file from last year.
Spark your next test
Seeing a fresh angle from a competitor is often the fastest way to decide what creative to make and test next.
The catch: a dedicated spy tool ends exactly here. It shows you the ads and stops — you still have to make your own creative somewhere else, upload it to Ads Manager yourself, and then manage the campaign by hand. The research and the doing live in two different places.
How Geniusko goes beyond spying
Geniusko is built as an AI marketer, so the competitor feed is the start of a workflow, not the whole product. Every feature below is live today:
Competitor ad feed (Meta Ad Library)
See the ads your competitors are running in one feed, sourced from Meta's Ad Library, so you have a steady stream of proven angles and creative ideas without hunting for them yourself.
Turn inspiration into your own ads (Studio)
Studio generates ad images, video and copy from a product link, so a competitor angle you liked becomes your own creative in minutes — no designer, no separate tool.
Daily automatic optimisation
Once your ads are live, Geniusko reviews the account around the clock and acts on it — pausing underperformers, moving budget to winners by ROAS — so the ideas you borrowed actually get managed.
Account-level ROAS view
Geniusko measures results across the whole account, so you can see whether the angles inspired by competitors are the ones actually making money — not just getting clicks.
Geniusko Gateway (server-side tracking)
A server-side conversions gateway sends purchase and lead events straight to Meta, recovering signal lost to iOS and ad blockers so optimisation runs on accurate data, not a half-blind pixel.
Free Meta account audit
A free audit scores your account 0–100 in seconds and shows exactly where budget is being wasted today — no card, no commitment, before you decide anything.
Dedicated spy tools vs Geniusko
| Dedicated spy tools | Geniusko | |
|---|---|---|
| See competitor ads | Yes — that's the whole product | Yes — a competitor feed from the Meta Ad Library |
| Make your own creative | No — you take it elsewhere | Yes — images, video and copy in Studio |
| Launch the ads | No — you upload to Ads Manager yourself | Yes — you run them straight from Geniusko |
| Optimise after launch | No | Yes — daily automatic optimisation |
| Measure results | No — it only shows ads, not your numbers | Yes — account-level ROAS + server-side tracking |
| Best for | Research only, if that's all you need | Turning research into live, optimised campaigns |
Dedicated spy tools with huge searchable libraries are genuinely useful if deep, filterable research is all you want. The trade-off is that the research never leaves the tool — you still make, launch and manage the ads elsewhere. Geniusko's feed is built to feed a workflow, so it favours doing over browsing.
Who it's for
- • Small and mid-sized businesses that want to learn from competitors and act on it without a media buyer or a stack of separate tools.
- • Solo advertisers and founders who don't want a spy subscription on top of a creative tool on top of Ads Manager.
- • E-commerce stores that need a constant supply of fresh angles turned into creative and tested quickly.
- • Agencies and freelancers who research competitors for clients and want the research to flow straight into live campaigns.
When you might not need it
If you only ever want to browse a deep, filterable library of every ad a brand has ever run — for pure research, with no intention of launching anything from the same place — a dedicated spy tool with a massive archive may suit you better. Geniusko's competitor feed is built to start a workflow, not to be an infinite swipe file. And if you just want to look, Meta's own Ad Library is free (see below).
Pricing
Geniusko starts at €29/mo with a 7-day trial, and the account stays yours the whole time. That one price covers the competitor feed, AI creative generation and daily optimisation together — instead of paying separately for a spy tool, a creative tool and someone to run the ads.

What is a Facebook ad spy tool?
It's a tool that lets you see the ads your competitors are running on Facebook and Instagram — the creative, copy and offers — so you can learn what's working in your market before spending your own budget. Geniusko includes a competitor ad feed sourced from Meta's Ad Library, and unlike a research-only spy tool it also turns those ideas into your own ads and runs them.
Is there a free Facebook ad spy tool?
Yes — Meta's own Ad Library is free and shows every active ad, but it's manual: you search brand by brand and it stops at showing the ads. Geniusko brings a competitor feed into a product that also generates your creative and optimises your campaigns, so the research turns into live ads instead of screenshots.
Can I see my competitors' Facebook ads?
Yes. Every advertiser's active ads are public in Meta's Ad Library, so seeing a competitor's live ads is completely legitimate. Geniusko surfaces them in a single feed so you don't have to look them up one brand at a time.
How is Geniusko different from a normal spy tool?
A normal spy tool shows you competitor ads and stops there. Geniusko shows them too, then lets you turn the best ideas into your own creative in Studio, launch them on Meta, and optimise them automatically every day — spying and doing in one place instead of stitching several tools together.
How much does it cost?
Geniusko starts at €29/mo with a 7-day trial. That single price includes the competitor feed, AI creative generation and daily optimisation — rather than paying for a spy tool, a creative tool and campaign management separately.
