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.
