Miami, United States, September 21, 2026 /PressCable/ -- With Meta advertising costs continuing to climb, a newly published report sets out to help performance marketers choose the right Instagram ad-finding tool for competitor research and creative analysis.

The recently published report ranks the best Instagram ad finders on the market as: 1. GetHookd, 2. PowerAdSpy, 3. BigSpy, and 4. AdSpy. Each platform is assessed according to its approach to competitor research, ad discovery, filtering, performance signals, and creative analysis.

The comparison comes as advertising costs rise on Meta, Instagram's parent company. According to Meta's first quarter 2026 earnings report, the average price per ad increased 12% year over year, while ad impressions across its Family of Apps increased 19%. As more advertisers compete for the same placements and AI tools accelerate the volume of creative entering feeds, identifying which concepts are already gaining traction before committing budget has become a more practical priority. The combination of higher prices and greater competition makes efficient creative research increasingly relevant for advertisers seeking to reduce wasted testing spend.

GetHookd was recognized for combining competitive ad intelligence with creative production tools. The platform's database contains more than 65 million analyzed Meta ads, with features including Brand Spy, Ads Transcription, AI-generated video scripts, and ad cloning for moving from competitor research to campaign development within a single workflow.

PowerAdSpy was recognized for detailed filtering across keywords, domains, calls to action, and engagement signals, making it well-suited for marketers researching specific niches or campaign types across multiple social platforms. BigSpy was noted for broad multi-platform ad discovery with trending and engagement-based sorting, giving creative teams a fast way to scan high-volume ad databases for inspiration. AdSpy was highlighted for its comment-level search functionality, which allows users to examine audience reactions and potential buying signals around specific products or campaigns.

The report identifies GetHookd's combination of scaling intelligence and creative production as its primary distinction among the four platforms evaluated, positioning it for performance marketers and agencies that prioritize competitor research alongside creative output.
