# FreeSpy

> FreeSpy is a free ad intelligence tool for Meta, TikTok, and YouTube ads, built for people who buy paid traffic: dropshippers, cash-on-delivery (COD) operations, affiliates, media buyers, and agencies. It shows which ads, stores, products, and advertisers are scaling in Europe, Brazil, and Latin America.

FreeSpy has no connection to phone monitoring apps with similar names: it installs nothing on anyone's device, does not read people's messages, location, or accounts, and only works with ads that the platforms themselves publish. The site is in English, with Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish versions. It was founded by Ariel Santos and Lucas Reda and is operated by Gboss GLD LLC (Albany, NY, USA). Contact: team@freespy.io.

## Where the data comes from

Every day FreeSpy mines the public Meta Ads Library (https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/) and the ad transparency libraries of TikTok and Google (YouTube). Each ad is grouped by product, store, and advertiser, and the metrics below are calculated from there. They are estimates based on public data: they do not guarantee sales results.

## FreeSpy metrics

- **Days live**: how many days have passed since the ad started running, based on the start date published in the library. Ads that lose money are usually turned off within a few days; ads that stay up for weeks tend to be getting results.
- **Copies**: how many times the same creative appears to be running at the same time, across different ad sets or pages. Duplicating is the most common way to scale an ad that works.
- **FreeSpy Index (0 to 100)**: a percentile score that combines the page's active ads (about one-third of the score), longevity (22%), creatives (18%), refreshes in the last 90 days (16%), stores (9%), and markets (3%). A score of 90 is ahead of about 90% of advertisers on that criterion.
- **Champion**: an advertiser with 15 or more ads, nearly all similar, with an average of 45 or more days live.
- **Evergreen**: an advertiser with at least 8 ads and an average of 90 or more days live.
- **Tester**: an advertiser with 15 or more ads that vary widely and die quickly (an average of up to 20 days live).
- **Six angles**: the creative angles FreeSpy identifies: social proof, personal story, discount, authority, fear and curiosity.
- **Rising now**: ads that went live in the last 3 weeks and have already been duplicated, meaning a test that worked.
- **Validated for 90+ days**: creatives running for more than 90 days. Nobody pays for three months of traffic on an ad that doesn't sell.
- **COD that sells**: cash on delivery (COD) offers that are scaling.
- **On TikTok Top Ads for N days**: on how many different days the ad appeared in the Top Ads ranking of the TikTok Creative Center. It is not the same as days live.
- **Test Board**: each account's testing board, with the columns I found it, I’ll test it, Testing, Scaling and It died.
