Ask about your ads, their ads,
and what to make next.

Finding ads was never the hard part. Understanding them is. Connect Claude or ChatGPT once and ask in plain English. It reads your whole library and your own ad account, and answers with sources.

You
Which of your biggest rival’s ads have run the longest, and what do the hooks have in common?
Three ads past 120 days. All three open on a before-and-after in the first two seconds, two of them use a founder on camera, and none mention price. The newest launches copy that pattern with a stronger discount, which suggests the long runners are the acquisition workhorses. Want the three as a brief?

Type a brand name or paste its Facebook page. If it is already in the library, its full history opens instantly. If not, the first pull starts while you watch.

II

We check every night

New launches, variations, relaunches and quiet stops, logged with dates. You never keep a spreadsheet of Library IDs again.

III

You read it on Monday

What they launched, what crossed 30 days, what they stopped. Fifteen minutes with coffee, and you know what to build this week.

What you can count on.

I
Public ads only.Everything in your library came from Meta’s own Ad Library. No scraping of private accounts, ever.
II
Every number has a source.You will never be shown an invented competitor spend or ROAS. If a number is a model, it says so. Usually it just isn’t shown.
III
Your own data stays yours.Connect your ad account and it is read to show you your numbers. Nothing is written to it without you pressing the button.
IV
Take the pattern, never the creative.Copying another brand’s video, photos or claims is theft. You build your own ad on what works.
V
No card, no demo, no catch.Thirty days of everything with an email. Leave whenever. Cancelling is one click.
VI
A founder answers you.Write to hello@pirateads.app and a human replies, usually the same day.

Before you board.

Is this legal?

Yes. Every ad in the library is public. Meta publishes every active ad on Facebook and Instagram in its Ad Library for anyone to see; what you get from us is the memory. We never touch private data, logins or ad accounts that aren’t yours. What you take is the pattern (the angle, the offer, the format), never someone’s creative, trademark or claims.

Can you tell me what a competitor spends or their ROAS?

No, and anyone who says they can is making it up. Spend and results live in the advertiser’s private account. The best public signal is how long an advertiser keeps paying to run an ad, so that is the number on every card you see.

What happens when a competitor stops an ad?

Meta mostly drops it from the Ad Library. You keep it, with its start and end dates, so you can see what they tested and dropped. 1,190 such ads are in the library right now.

Which brands are in the library?

29 so far, checked nightly, and every plan reads all of them. If yours or a competitor’s is missing, add it by name or Facebook page URL and the first pull starts right away. New accounts get 10 free adds in their first 10 days.

Do I need a credit card?

No. Thirty days of everything with an email address, and the free plan stays free after that. No demo call.

Does it work with Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes, on every plan including free. Your account comes with a personal connector link; paste it into Claude or ChatGPT and ask your library questions in plain English.
