Comparison
AdPeekly vs. PowerAdSpy
PowerAdSpy genuinely covers LinkedIn, through a dedicated product page alongside nine other platforms and 500M+ ads indexed overall. That breadth is real, and so is the trade-off: LinkedIn is one line among ten, not a dedicated archive. AdPeekly spends its entire dataset on that one platform instead, at B2B depth.

Who each tool is actually for
PowerAdSpy is built for marketers running campaigns across several ad platforms at once and wanting one AI-driven view across all of them: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google, native networks, Quora, Reddit, Pinterest and LinkedIn, ten total, with 500M+ ads indexed across 100+ countries. If the job spans that many channels, PowerAdSpy's scale is a real advantage no single-platform tool can match.
AdPeekly is built for the narrower, deeper question: what is this specific company doing on LinkedIn, for how long, and who are they targeting. Every one of AdPeekly's 266,919 ads carries the industry, funding stage, company size and buyer ICP context PowerAdSpy's ten-platform view doesn't track, because that context is specific to B2B LinkedIn research, not something a general ad-spy tool optimizes for.

Questions about AdPeekly and PowerAdSpy
Yes. PowerAdSpy's own product navigation lists a dedicated "Linkedin Ads Spy Tool" alongside separate tools for Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google, Google Display, Native, Quora, Reddit and Pinterest, ten platforms total per its own site, checked 28 September 2026. That's a real difference from ad-spy tools like BigSpy that skip LinkedIn entirely. What it isn't is a dedicated LinkedIn archive: LinkedIn is one product line among ten, built around the same AI-driven discovery as the other nine, without the funding stage, company size or buyer ICP filters a B2B evaluator specifically needs.
PowerAdSpy's homepage offers a trial and a bookable demo rather than a published free tier, and current terms are worth checking directly on its pricing page since they change independently of this comparison. AdPeekly's free access is MCP-based instead of a dashboard trial: a fixed number of searches a day against the full published LinkedIn dataset, no card required, meant for querying through an AI assistant rather than logging into a web app.
PowerAdSpy spreads its research across ten platforms with LinkedIn as one line item; AdPeekly spends its entire dataset on that one platform instead. 266,919 published LinkedIn ads from 649 curated B2B companies, each carrying observed campaign duration, funding stage, company size and buyer ICP, searchable across the whole set at once. If Facebook, YouTube or Quora ad research is still part of the job, PowerAdSpy's breadth remains useful for that half of the work, this isn't a case where one tool replaces the other outright.
The trade is breadth against depth. PowerAdSpy's pitch is scale: 500M+ ads indexed across ten platforms and 100+ countries, with AI doing the pattern-spotting across all of them at once. AdPeekly's pitch is the opposite: one platform, but every ad on it is enriched with the company context, industry, funding stage, size, buyer ICP, that a B2B evaluator actually filters by, plus how long the ad ran after it launched. Choosing between them comes down to whether the research question is "what's working broadly across ad platforms" or "what is this specific LinkedIn competitor doing, and why."
