Motion's read-only MCP server queries your creative performance and transcripts and any brand's ad library, from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other clients.¹³
You want an AI teammate with routines

Where Adspy is different

Competitor research from $19 a month, no commitment
Adspy's plans are Starter $19 a month (one source: Meta, Google or TikTok; 2,000 credits), Pro $39 (every source; 6,000 credits), Unlimited $99 (every source; no credit count, fair use) and Enterprise on contract, with unlimited followed brands on every plan; Starter, Pro and Unlimited are month to month. Motion starts at $750 a month for up to $50k monthly ad spend, with a 3-month commitment when you sign up.¹¹⁶
Google and YouTube ads in your research
Adspy includes creatives from Google's Ads Transparency Center, including YouTube ads, next to Meta. Motion's Inspo pulls from Meta's Ad Library, and its feature matrix marks YouTube as not available.⁴⁶
A missing brand in minutes
Ask your assistant to add a missing brand (400 credits) and Adspy collects its ads on the spot: 94% of 663 requests from March to September 2026 finished within 10 minutes, with a median of 2.3 minutes. Motion says a newly added brand's ads appear after a delay while it collects them, without saying how long.⁵
Every ad already read, ready to filter
Each collected ad comes with its hook, angle, format, tone, call to action, transcript and AI tags in 23 creative categories, ready to filter; your assistant reads an analysis at no credit cost, included in every plan with fair use. Motion's Runneth analyzes ads on a monthly token allotment and pauses when it runs out.⁹

The same research in your AI assistant, with Adspy

Connect Adspy to your AI assistant, then ask for a brand, a product or a phrase, for example Meta video ads that mention collagen.
Ask for AG1's ads: its creatives across Meta, their formats and their recorded activity.
Ask for AG1's Brand Full Analysis: the hooks and formats across its ads, its organic posts where Adspy collects them, and the ads behind each finding.
Ask your assistant to compare AG1 with another brand side by side.
Follow AG1, then ask for its newest ads, newest first, to see what it started running.

Questions

Can Adspy replace Motion?

For competitor research, it covers Meta and Google ads with an analysis of each one. For your own ad performance, no: Adspy does not connect ad accounts, and analytics on them is Motion's core.

How much do they cost?

Adspy's plans are Starter $19 a month (one source: Meta, Google or TikTok; 2,000 credits), Pro $39 (every source; 6,000 credits), Unlimited $99 (every source; no credit count, fair use) and Enterprise on contract; Starter, Pro and Unlimited are month to month. Motion starts at $750 a month for up to $50k monthly ad spend, with a 3-month commitment when you sign up.

Do both work in Claude?

Yes. Adspy's MCP server searches public ads and their analysis on every plan. Motion's read-only MCP server covers your own creative data, for Meta, and competitors' ad libraries.
