What GetHookd does well

GetHookd is a Meta ad library built to be read by an AI agent. It says it tracks more than 13 million live Meta ads and connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor and Perplexity, so you can ask what your market is running and get back ads with links to the source. In the app you get filters, boards, Brand Spy for competitors, shop pages with traffic and best sellers, ad transcription, video scripts and Clone Ads for new static variations.

If you want market-wide Meta research from your AI agent, GetHookd is built for it, and its entry price matches AdBase's.

Where AdBase is different

AdBase follows a fixed set of competitors, up to 25 per workspace, and goes past their Meta ads:

  • Google ads as well as Meta;
  • landing pages those ads link to, captured as text plus desktop and mobile screenshots;
  • newsletters, which AdBase signs up for and stores;
  • tags and video breakdowns: creative style, angle and offer type, plus spoken and scene-by-scene transcripts.

Through the MCP connector, Claude, ChatGPT, Codex and other clients can read all of it. A question like "did this brand's emails and landing pages change when it launched the new ad angle?" needs the ads, the pages and the emails together, which is what AdBase collects.

Price compared

Both start at $29 a month on monthly billing. The difference is what's in the plan: AdBase's single plan (€29 in the EU) includes the MCP connector, while GetHookd lists AI agent access from its Team plan at $79 a month, or on annual billing. AdBase's first subscription has a 7-day free trial; GetHookd offers a 7-day trial for $0.

When to pick GetHookd, and when to pick AdBase

Pick GetHookd if

  • You want to search across a whole market of Meta ads, not just brands you already know.
  • You want to turn winning statics into new variations with Clone Ads.
  • Store traffic and best sellers help you pick what to research.
  • You use Gemini or Perplexity as your main AI client.

Pick AdBase if

  • Your competitors also run Google ads and you want both in one place.
  • You want to read competitors’ newsletters and compare them with their ads.
  • You want full landing page captures, including mobile screenshots, for every page their ads use.
  • You want AI agent access on monthly billing without moving to a $79 plan.

How switching from GetHookd works

  1. List the brands you follow with Brand Spy.
  2. Add them to AdBase with each brand’s website, Facebook page, Instagram profile or Google Ads Transparency link.
  3. Connect AdBase in Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor. You can keep GetHookd connected next to it, since MCP clients can use several connectors.
  4. Ask both connectors the same question for a week and keep the one whose answers you use.
