What PiPiAds does well

PiPiAds is built around TikTok. Its site covers TikTok and Facebook ads, TikTok Shop, products, advertisers and app ads, plus landing page and conversion path analysis. Plans are credit based: on the 2.0 membership, Basic includes 30,000 credits a month and Advanced 100,000, with ad trackers for 2 and 10 advertisers. New users get a free trial with 500 credits.

If you sell on TikTok Shop or run most of your spend on TikTok, PiPiAds covers ground AdBase doesn't.

Where AdBase is different

AdBase follows competitors you name instead of giving you a database to search. For each brand on your watchlist it collects Meta and Google ads, captures the landing pages they link to (text plus desktop and mobile screenshots) and subscribes to the brand's newsletter. Ads are tagged by creative style, angle and offer type, and video ads get a spoken transcript and a scene-by-scene breakdown.

Your AI agent can use all of it. Connect AdBase to Claude, ChatGPT or Codex and ask "which of these five brands is pushing a discount right now, and what does the landing page promise?" The agent reads the ads, pages and emails and answers with links back to them.

Price compared

AdBase is a flat $29 a month (€29 in the EU), with no credits and a 7-day free trial on the first subscription. PiPiAds' Basic plan showed $49 a month as a flash-sale price ($69 regular) on October 5, 2026. If you mostly use PiPiAds to keep an eye on a handful of Meta advertisers, AdBase costs less and adds emails and landing pages. For TikTok, PiPiAds stays the better tool.

When to pick PiPiAds, and when to pick AdBase

Pick PiPiAds if

TikTok is your main channel, or you sell through TikTok Shop.
You want to browse a large database of ads and products rather than follow a fixed list of brands.
App or game advertising is part of what you research.

Pick AdBase if

Your competitors spend on Meta and Google, and those are the ads you need to see.
You’d rather pay a flat price than watch a credit balance.
You want the emails and landing pages that go with each competitor’s ads.
You work with an AI agent and want it to run the research.

How switching from PiPiAds works

List the advertisers you follow with PiPiAds’ ad tracker.
Add them to an AdBase watchlist with a website, Facebook page, Instagram profile or Google Ads Transparency link.
Connect your AI agent through AdBase’s setup page and ask it to summarize what each brand is running.
If TikTok is still important to you, keep PiPiAds for it. AdBase doesn’t collect TikTok ads today.
