PiPiADS suits buyers whose main channel is TikTok, but its free trial is too thin to prove it: 500 credits at 20 per search or page, about 25 searches. The PiPiADS trial also hides every ad newer than 90 days. Paid plans start at $49 a month.

What is pipiads.com?
Pipiads.com sells an ad spy tool built around TikTok, with Facebook ads in the same search. Next to the Adspy search the menu lists Ad Library, Advertisers, Influencers, Ad Tracker and “Find Similar by Image”, plus separate sections for TikTok Shop, apps, games, short dramas and AI products. For PiPiADS dropshipping research, the Dropshipping and E-commerce filters narrow a search to store ads. The pricing page says PiPiADS is “subscribed by 300,000 successful advertisers”.
Verdict: PiPiADS is a TikTok-first ad spy tool that also searches Facebook ads.
PiPiADS free trial: 500 credits, no time limit
The PiPiADS free trial is a one-time grant of 500 credits, not a free plan. The account page lists them as “Extra Credits”, billed one time and “Permanently valid, no expiration date”, so the trial lasts until the credits run out rather than for a set number of days.
Credits go faster than the number suggests. On our account each search, each filter change and each new page of results cost 20 credits: seven such actions on 8 and 14 October used 180 of the 500. At that rate the trial covers about 25 searches or result pages.
Verdict: Plan the PiPiADS trial as about 25 searches, not as a period of time.
What the trial hides: the last 90 days
The PiPiADS trial shows only ads older than 90 days. Every search carries a banner reading “Free user data range: Limit historical data (90 days ago)” and “Details Unavailable”, and the first card in each result is locked with the count of newer ads and “Only For Member”.
A search for “gymshark” on 14 October 2026 reported “Adspy Results: 42.6K+” and “Ad Library Results: 6K+”. The locked card read “42.6K+ Latest Ads”, and among the 40 cards we loaded the latest an ad started running was 10 June 2026; the first cards dated from December 2023 and January 2024.
“manscaped” reported 30.6K+ Adspy results and 241+ in the ad library. The trial showed 16 cards, and the latest start date among them was 18 February 2026.
Verdict: The PiPiADS trial cannot tell you what a competitor launched this quarter; it shows only their older ads.
PiPiADS TikTok and Facebook ads
PiPiADS TikTok ads are the default, and Facebook ads sit behind a filter next to them; both opened on the trial. With the Facebook filter on, “manscaped” returned Manscaped’s own Facebook ads, still under the same 90-day limit: the latest start date among the 16 cards was 17 December 2025.
Each card shows the period the ad ran, impressions, the number of days and likes, so on paid plans the dates can be compared with other tools. The trial gives no way to measure how fast new ads arrive, which we did for Spytrend, Dropispy and PowerAdSpy.
Verdict: PiPiADS covers both TikTok and Facebook, but judge its freshness only on a paid plan.
How much is PiPiADS
PiPiADS Basic lists at $69 a month and sells at $49 under a “Flash Sale” banner with a countdown; it includes 30,000 credits for one user. Advanced lists at $159 and sells at $99 with 100,000 credits, Enterprise at $1,999 and $900 with 1,000,000 credits and 10 users, and Flexible costs $180 for 200,000 credits and two users. Extra credits cost $50 for 10,000.
The pricing page lists “Cost 1 credits / data” and “Cost 20 credits / detail” for every plan. Annual plans were 50% off for the fourth quarter, Basic at $294 a year.
Verdict: Budget $49 a month for PiPiADS Basic and count searches against its 30,000 credits.

Who PiPiADS is for
