For too long, it has been practically impossible to spy on social ads.
After months of relentless work, we are excited to announce the launch of the most advanced, feature-rich social ad spy tool that has ever existed.
How are we better than others?
Worldwide coverage
We currently have ads from 21 countries: Austria, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, Singapore, United Kingdom and the United States.
Viewers from 30+ more countries will be added soon!
Desktop and mobile ads
Our coverage spans both devices, and we can uniquely identify the same ad running across them.
Not only can we then reveal which devices an ad is targeting, but also show you the cross-device ad variations!
All ad formats
We are the only product that covers every ad format; including videos, images, and even those sliding ads!
Others have interfaces that are designed for specific ad types, but we made ours versatile with the understanding that new ad formats are constantly being rolled out.
Exact targeting
Until now, you have always been shown who saw the ad to “guess” targeting. We can retrieve the exact targeting directly from the ads!
For example: If a 55-year old female saw an ad, but the campaign is actually targeting “45+ year old females in New York” – we can reveal that exact targeting to you!
Archived ads
Some products simply “embed” a live ad. This is unreliable, since if an ad is deleted, so too is its presence in their interface.
We save a permanent copy of all the ads and serve it to you through our own servers. Meaning, even if those juicy images and videos are deleted, you can pull a copy from our servers to use in your campaigns!
Real-time updates
No more waiting for ads to be updated at set intervals!
Our interface updates instantly with new ads. You can refresh the page and see new ads that were seen “seconds ago”!
Screenshots and live ads
In our search results, we provide you with the actual ad’s screenshot.
Nothing beats interacting with an ad though, so clicking through shows a local copy of that to you too! You can then visit the original destination link, or just easily copy/paste the ad text and images. 
Link to actual ads
Want to see the actual ad on the traffic source? We provide the ad’s link to you!
For example, this allows you to see up-to-date interactions with the ads – such as the comments being left by viewers.
Detailed observations
We provide an extensive breakdown for each ad, including:
• A timeline of the dates when it was seen, and how many times on each of those days
• When it was first and last seen, how many times it was seen, and how long it’s been running
• The minimum position in the feed, since ads with higher bids are shown first!
• Viewers’ device, gender, age, country, and relationship status (including times seen by each)
Landing page details
We visit each ad’s destination link, log all the redirects, take a screenshot of the final destination, and save it for you. We show you when the landing page was first and last seen, as well as how many times it was seen.
Plus, with a click of a button, you can search all the other ads promoting the same landing page!
Residential IP addresses
We now visit the destination link using residential and carrier IP addresses, to beat any cloakers and show you the actual landing page being advertised.
We will soon be adding several other technical features to make it very difficult to cloak us!
Downloadable landing pages
Tired of spy tools that point to dead landing pages? Can’t see the actual landing pages because you’re being cloaked?
We store all the landing pages – including their dependencies like images, videos, scripts and style sheets – in a compressed file for you to download.
Detailed search filters
• Text or URL within ad copies (ie. “play”), redirects (ie. “
• Country, gender, age, relationship status, and/or device of who saw the ad
• Type of ad, other ads containing the same image/video, minimum redirects
• Performance criteria like position, times seen, days running or interactions
Targeting overviews
Our search results provide a breakdown of the country, age, gender, ad type and device for each query.
For example, searching for “League of Angels” will provide you with the individual ad results, along with a breakdown across all the ads to quickly identify their overall targeting.
Favourites and notifications
Like an ad? You can save it to your “Favourites” for future reference!
We will soon be adding an option to receive instant alerts when new ads are viewed that contain keywords you specify.
Coverage requests
We have a massive group of observers already.
Want a viewer added from a specific demographic or geographic location that we missed? You can request it directly inside our interface!
Interface speed
Our interface was built from scratch for maximum speed.
All of your search requests will load within a few milliseconds (or a few seconds at most for those really obscure queries).
Let’s dive into the interface:

There is literally nothing else in the market packed with as much coverage and features as our product. Yet, we have purposely priced our product to be affordable to the “small guy”, who typically needs spy tools the most.
As such, anyone can sign-up to Social Ad Scout for only $147/month!
Better yet, be one of the first 20 subscribers to use the coupon code “STM20”, and you will pay just $127/month for life! Seriously, that’s less than what you spend on coffee every month.

PS. We won't answer comments/questions in this thread that are intrusive or name any companies.
Sounds promising. I want to give a try.
I'm interested to join the beta, and actively help you enhancing the product.
Cheers
How much that will cost? Right now my team is using onlineadspy, but not having the residential IP's is surely a downside.
Waiting for the release of my acct 
As a free beta user of this new tool, i've tested it for a few days now.
The interface is fast and clean, results are here within a few seconds.
As a first test, i entered "
I expect that the "
Results include ads for refinance, skin, bizzop, muscle, sweeps, eyelash, casino and others (i didn't go through all yet)
The latest ads with voluum links are only a few hours old.
After clicking on some ads, i found a few interesting landingpages which are surely cloaked but thanks to the residential ips, i can see the real one :-) (and download it)
After searching for other common keywords, i found various other interesting affiliate ads.
But like any other tool, you still need a while to find more hidden gems which do not have the obvious keywords in the ad text...
According to search results today, they have 52'512 ads scraped, so i think they are out there 
Very interesting is the possibility to watch the ad directly on FB to read comments and analyze other stuff.
All in all, I like the tool. Compared to Adsvantage (which i had for a few months) a real upgrade in functionality and usability.
They just need to add a lot more ads fast 
How do we get beta access?
I have tested this tool (in beta) and really liked it so far. Especially all the things you can filter on. It becomes easy to find the affiliate ads. Here are my overall thoughts:
The good:
- Interface is super user friendly. (Best one to date, that I've seen/know of)
- Residential iP's which means you also see cloaked LP's
- Lots of countries already (and they keep adding)
- Everyday I see new aff ads popping up. (recent ones)
- Fast loading speeds
Working points:
- Even more countries (they already have a lot), I asked them about this and they are still in the process of adding more countries (I see countries getting added every couple days)
- More ads, same as above they are still in beta but the amount of ads I see added daily this won't be a problem in the future.
Conclusion: I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one. I feel these guys are super serious and professional about it. Just the ease of searching trough the ads and the amount of recent ads that they keep indexing. I would recommend to check it out once it goes live.
HI I tried to sign up as a beta tester, however it didn't work its asking to pay to continue registration, please advise
thanks
Want to try it out. Do we need a coupon code?
I'll give this a whirl - it's requesting CC also.
We would like to sincerely thank our beta testers for the feedback. One of the approved beta testers was Bart (“jerzydawg”), who is no longer on STM, so we are sharing his feedback here:

We were truly stunned by the number of applicants. Only the first handful were accepted, so we would like to start by sincerely apologizing to those that were not able to participate in the beta.
That said, we are excited to announce that Social Ad Scout is officially live!
What has changed?
More countries
We have added Brazil to the list posted above.
With 20 countries in our arsenal already, Social Ad Scout has the more coverage than any other product in the market. We are still not done, and there is a lot more countries to be added in the coming weeks!
Residential IP addresses
As of 10/31/2016, we are almost entirely using residential and carrier IP addresses to scrape landing pages. However, at times we have to fall back to our data centre proxies when these are too slow.
We will stabilize our residential and carrier IP addresses further, and introduce additional technical measures to capture the actual landing pages.
What is next?
Increasing ad counts
We have everything in place to increase the number of ads being added daily by at least 300%. As we are fully bootstrapped, the only inhibiting factor has been the cost.
Assuming our launch is successful today, expect the number of ads being added daily to increase significantly within the coming days.
New interface features
We have noticed competitors copying our features/interface just from the beta announcement, so these will be announced as they are rolled out now.

Looks like the coupon code was used up within a few hours. At the request of many that recently saw this post, we've extended it for the next 10 users only.
Use the coupon code "STM20" to be locked in at $127/month for life!
look this tool is very good!
I'm interested too. Can i have a try? Thanks.
I have to buy!
I released the tool's performance at any time!
While you could always search for tracker footprints, we've now made it even easier with predefined lists:

Hi I've been a member for 1 Month already, first let me talk about the service, Sean at SocialAdScout has been a gold mine, I imagine I was a little annoying to his team as I asked alot of question and asked them to find me some golden campaigns I could rip, their service is really top notch these guys work around the clock to make it happen for us. The Tool itself is great, its my first social spy tool, apart from that before i used adbeat and adplexity, the cool part is they will listen to you if you have idea of features and they turn around and implement them fast.
Pros: *Interface is clean and easy to use
*Targetting Optioins, you can refine your search ex: by age, amount of likes (very useful to find gold campaigns),shares,comments and more
*Gives you access to the cloacked page which are downlodable
*You can save your favorite camaigns and rip them latter
* Pretty much a gold mind for affiliates like us
Cons: * Only thing would be the speed although Sean said its something they will improve
Cheers

Looks very nice, just signed up, paid and waiting for approval.

So many new social spy tools popping up must be where all the money is. I'm currently using WhichAdsWork myself which came out about 2 months ago.
I'd like to sign up for this soon and compare the two. If anyone else has already I'm sure we'll all be interested to know
Hey Social Ad Scout, I'm super interested in using your platform.
Hello ,
Wanna try with our pubs, Do you have any package for networks, so we can easily refer pubs to you ?
Also, as the name sounds, is it limited to Social Campaigns alone? How about campaigns that work for Pops, CPC and Natives ?
is the platform alive? who used it? tell feedback pls


Affiliates,
Recently, we have seen a lot of interest from users in blackhat affiliate ads.
We wanted to remind you that Social Ad Scout is the only social ad spy tool with both mobile and desktop ads!
Plus:
✔ We visit each landing page using residential/carrier IP addresses to beat cloakers
✔ We show you the exact targeting details for each ad (not just who "saw" it)
We have more blackhat affiliate ads than anyone else. Here's some from the last few days where we beat the cloaking:
(There are likely a lot more hidden gems in our database once you start searching!)

How do you find them?
Just select "Affiliate Networks" and "Tracking Platforms" from the dropdown. That should cover most affiliate ads:

There's other approaches you can use. For example, you can search inside the landing page content for common words!
Still not convinced?
We get it. You might be subscribed to a more aggressively promoted spy tool, and don't want another expense.
In affiliate marketing, catching trends quickly can be the difference between a multi-million dollar campaign and a thud.
Don't "cheap out" on just $147/month (<$5 per day) and miss opportunities that can earn you millions in profit.
Better yet, be in the first 10 users to subscribe with the promo code "BHAT20" for a $20/month lifetime discount!

We look forward to seeing you on the other side.
