Competitor research and spy services
BigSpy
BigSpy’s published Free plan meters daily searches, Creative to AI Prompt uses, and tracked creatives; Scale specifies five seats, while access and downloads depend on the plan. The provider lists annual billing as a monthly equivalent but charges the displayed annual total for the year, so a workload that exceeds published Free allowances needs closer review of paid-plan terms. For media buyers, the practical test is whether the stated access and seat arrangements match the research they need.

Free Searches and Paid-Plan Seats
According to BigSpy’s pricing page and FAQ, checked 2026-10-30, the published plan and seat details include:
- Free price: $0.
- Free daily allowance: 10 searches and 3 Creative to AI Prompt uses, plus 20 tracked creatives.
- Scale seats: five total, comprising one owner and four members; seats have individual quotas.
- Ultimate seats: one; the plan includes all 11 platforms.
BigSpy lists Free, Starter, Growth, Scale, and Ultimate for ad research, with options for gaming and non-gaming apps, e-commerce, and brands.
Annual Billing, Renewal, and Refund Conditions
BigSpy lists monthly and yearly billing for paid plans, but the annual display is a monthly equivalent rather than the amount charged for one month. Its pricing page, checked 2026-10-30, lists the following annual-billing prices and totals:
- Starter: $49 per month when billed annually, with $588 billed annually.
- Growth: $119 per month when billed annually, with $1,428 billed annually.
The homepage also lists Starter at $69 per month with monthly billing and Growth at $159 per month with monthly billing; it gives the same annual-billing monthly equivalents and annual totals. BigSpy says subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period until canceled.
BigSpy’s pricing page says subscribers can cancel and continue using the current plan until it expires. The provider treats cancellation and refund requests as separate actions, with eligibility governed by its Refund Policy. BigSpy says it generally does not issue refunds after an order is completed and delivered, though it may accept requests in rare cases involving system bugs or within 24 hours of the first payment.
Ad Search and Product Research Reports
BigSpy describes ad creative searches and competitor-ad tracking as core functions. The provider says its database contains over 1 billion ad creatives, is updated daily, and covers 80+ countries, 26 languages, and 11 major advertising platforms.
Product research reports organize sourced product details, pricing, performance history, keyword or tag signals, and related advertising creatives when available. Those creatives may show product positioning, advertiser messages, platforms, and how long a creative remains active. Reports compare sales, favorites, reviews, and historical changes when source data is available.
The reports use dated snapshots rather than real-time metrics, and BigSpy describes historical activity as directional signals, not forecasts of future sales.
Gambling and betting offers are restricted or prohibited by law in some countries, and age limits, licensing and permitted regions differ by jurisdiction; check the network's own rules and local law before running any traffic. This is not legal advice.
Plan-Dependent Access and Creative Tracking
A buyer can search ad creatives and then track selected ads, but the number of creatives available for download and ads available to track depends on the chosen plan. Access to individual advertising platforms also depends on the plan, while creative downloads and advanced research features require a paid plan.
BigSpy says AppLovin access is limited to e-commerce research; its Starter access is available for a limited time. The provider also offers page analysis and creative charts, with availability depending on the plan.
For teams, Scale has an owner and members, and BigSpy says its seats carry the same features and individual quotas as Growth. Ultimate includes all 11 platforms but has one seat, so buyers comparing team access with platform access should check which arrangement matches their workflow.
Questions About Search Limits and Exports
Before choosing a research tool, ask how searches are counted and whether different search modes draw from the same allowance. Clarify which filters are included and whether their use changes the amount of research available.
Ask whether exports, alerts, and tracking have separate caps, and what happens when an allowance is reached. Confirm whether unused allowances carry forward and whether the provider applies the same rules across plans.
Finally, ask which features require a paid plan and how access changes after cancellation or plan changes. The answers should match the specific research workflow, team structure, and reporting cadence.
Published Search and Seat Allowances
BigSpy’s pricing page and FAQ, checked 2026-10-30, publish the following Free and Scale allowances and seat details:
- Free includes 10 searches per day, 3 Creative to AI Prompt uses per day, and 20 tracked creatives.
- Scale includes five seats, with one owner and four members; seats have individual quotas.
Product research reports bring sourced product details together and may include related advertising creatives when available. When source data is available, reports compare sales, favorites, reviews, and historical changes. Subscribers who cancel can continue using their current plan until it expires.
Paid Limits and Refund Terms Narrow the Offer
BigSpy’s FAQ and terms describe several limits that affect how research can be used after a search.
- Product reports use dated snapshots, not real-time metrics, and the provider characterizes historical activity as directional rather than a forecast.
- Platform access, creative downloads, tracking capacity, and advanced research features depend on the plan; downloads and advanced research require a paid plan.
- BigSpy says it generally does not issue refunds after an order is completed and delivered, with rare stated exceptions for system bugs or requests within 24 hours of the first payment.
- Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled, and the terms say BigSpy may revise its website terms without prior notice.
Several operational details are missing; they are listed under What we could not confirm.
Compare Research by Meter and Export
Compare research services by how they meter searches, tracking, and exports, then check which filters, alerts, and advertising coverage are included. Seat rules, data update cadence, cancellation terms, and access after cancellation also affect whether a service matches a research workflow.
Fit the Plan to Research Volume
A plan fits when its documented search allowances, seat structure, and platform access match the workload, and the required research functions are available at that tier. BigSpy makes access plan-dependent and requires a paid plan for creative downloads and advanced research features.
It does not fit when the work requires downloads or advanced research but the selected plan does not provide them. Tracking capacity also varies by plan, so compare that meter with the number of creatives the workflow needs to follow.
Before subscribing, map the searches, seats, downloads, and tracking required for the work against the plan terms. Scale’s seats have the same features and individual quotas as Growth, according to BigSpy’s pricing page.
What we could not confirm

Questions About BigSpy’s Published Terms
What does the Free plan include?
BigSpy lists daily searches, Creative to AI Prompt uses, and tracked creatives as Free-plan allowances. The pricing page gives the specific limits, so compare those meters with the volume of research needed before relying on the plan.
How does BigSpy display annual billing?
BigSpy displays yearly prices as monthly equivalents, while the annual total is paid for the year. Its pricing page lists the annual billing terms, so use the displayed total when checking the amount due for the year.
What changes after cancellation?
BigSpy says subscribers can cancel through Manage subscription and continue using their plan until it expires. Cancellation does not itself establish refund eligibility; the provider says refund requests are handled under its Refund Policy.
How does BigSpy describe refunds?
BigSpy says it generally does not issue refunds after an order is completed and delivered. It says it may accept requests in rare cases involving system bugs or within 24 hours of the first payment; those conditions do not promise that a request will be accepted.
Are product reports real-time?
No. BigSpy says reports use dated snapshots rather than real-time metrics, and describes historical activity as directional signals rather than forecasts of future sales.
When do creative downloads require paid access?
BigSpy says creative downloads and advanced research features require a paid plan. The number of creatives available for download and ads available to track depends on the selected plan.
Pay Only When the Meter Fits
Fits if the published search and seat terms match the research workload, and the selected plan provides the platform access and tracking capacity required.
Probably not if the work depends on downloads or advanced research that the chosen plan does not include.
Main risk: tracking and access vary by plan, while reports are dated snapshots rather than real-time metrics. Check the relevant plan terms and billing conditions before subscribing.
