AdScan.ai is an AI ad analysis tool for media buyers and advertising professionals. Its core capability is revealing ad spend data in the Meta Ad Library, helping users quickly discover winning ads.
Purpose
AdScan.ai mainly solves the problem of finding viral ad creatives slowly and at high cost. According to the official website, many brands have long relied on old materials from 1–3 months earlier, leading to rising CPA and declining scale, while AdScan aims to help users more quickly locate ads that are currently receiving budget, reducing ineffective references and wasted ad spend.
Main Capabilities
- Ad spend reveal: After installing the Chrome extension, a Check Spend button is added in the Ad Library. Clicking it lets you view each advertiser's spend in the UK, EU, and Brazil markets.
- Automatic ranking and filtering: Extracts reach and audience data provided by the Meta Ad Library (such as impressions, region, age, and gender distribution), displays views and estimated spend on each ad card, automatically sorts by spend, and marks the number-one winning ad; supports "Last 7 days" and "Last 30 days" filters.
- Cross-industry reference: Not limited to direct competitors; you can reference creative formats from high-spend advertisers in other industries.
- Ad saving and collaboration: Save ads to the AdScan library or personal dashboard, and teams can collaborate in real time through shared boards, replacing sending links to each other in chat tools.
- AI cloning and script rewriting: Use AI to rewrite winning ad scripts to match your own product, tone, and offer, and use AI to replicate visual styles without a designer.
- Script and copy extraction: Quickly extract video scripts and ad copy for later creation.
- One-click launch: The official website states native integration with Admanage.ai, enabling one-click ad launch.
- Platform coverage: Can track Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and LinkedIn ads, with more platforms coming soon.
How to Use
The Chrome extension is the main entry point: after installing the extension, click Check Spend in the Meta Ad Library to view spend; at the same time, you can save discovered ads to the AdScan dashboard, use AI cloning and script rewriting features, and teams can invite members to join shared boards. The official website offers a free starter plan, and paid plans support a 3-day free trial (a bank card is required, and you can cancel at any time).
Use Cases

Limitations and Notes
According to the official website, spend data is estimated (the FAQ mentions that "estimated spend may be lower than actual spend"), and the covered regions are the UK, EU, and Brazil; ad sources are mainly Meta and LinkedIn, with other platforms not yet available. Questions such as whether the US market is supported and the specific feature scope of each plan are raised only in FAQ form on the official website, but the materials do not provide answers, and clear details are not yet available.
