It never affects our rankings. [How we research](/methodology). At a glance Starts at Free plan Best for TikTok and Facebook ad creatives Website [Official site](https://www.pipiads.com/) The short answer Pipiads is the ad library to open when you need the TikTok or Facebook creative, the hook and the landing page behind a product. See [what Pipiads costs](/reviews/pipiads/pricing), or [compare the alternatives](/alternatives/pipiads). ##### What works * TikTok and Facebook ad library, plus TikTok Shop ads, products, stores, trends, influencers and image search * Basic includes two Ad Tracker slots * The TikTok Shop page says no card is required to start ##### What to watch * A long search uses the month's credits quickly, and unused credits expire when the month ends. * Subscriptions are non-refundable, and a product many buyers can already see tends to get saturated. ### An ad library with a TikTok Shop lane Pipiads is an ad spy tool and an ad library for TikTok and Facebook. The homepage calls the product AI-powered and aims it at ecommerce, dropshipping and TikTok Shop, among other categories. The TikTok Shop page splits the search into ads, products, stores, trends, influencers and image search. If you need sales figures for stores, creators or livestreams, use the comparison instead of this review. [See the Kalodata vs Pipiads comparison](/compare/kalodata-vs-pipiads) to match each tool to your question. [See Pipiads pricing](/reviews/pipiads/pricing) before you subscribe. ### How a search spends credits Every row on a results list costs one credit. Opening one ad, including a pop-up of that ad, costs 20 credits. The balance resets every month, and unused credits do not carry into the next month. On the free trial you can search the lists. Viewing the creative itself costs credits. Basic lists a credit allowance next to the monthly price, and it includes two Ad Tracker slots. Those slots are a watchlist for creatives. The prices are on the pricing page linked above. ### Image search Use image search when you already have a photo and want other ads that look like it. The TikTok Shop page lists image search next to influencers and stores, so a photo can lead you to the shops and creators running similar ads. ### Who should pay for it It fits someone who already has a product and wants the ads promoting it. Other people use the same library to hunt for product ideas. Once many buyers can see the same product here, it gets crowded, and the fee can feel high for what you were able to check first. I would start here when the missing piece is the creative. For how much a shop, a creator or a livestream has sold, read the [Kalodata review](/reviews/kalodata). ### Decide before the first charge The pricing page says payments are non-refundable, and you can cancel anytime. While the trial lasts, you can look through the lists. If those lists are enough to make you leave, cancel before the subscription renews. If you need the full ad, that view is the step that costs credits. ### Compare Pipiads * [Kalodata vs Pipiads: sales data or ads](/compare/kalodata-vs-pipiads) * [Pipiads alternatives](/alternatives/pipiads) * [Pipiads pricing and plans](/reviews/pipiads/pricing) * [Best TikTok Shop tools, ranked by job](/best) ### Changes to this review * 2026-10-23 First published from the Pipiads homepage, pricing page and TikTok Shop page, alongside the Kalodata comparison. ### Pipiads questions Does the Pipiads trial show the ad itself? The trial is list search. The hook, the landing page and the full ad card sit on a detail view, which the trial does not include. Can I cancel a Pipiads plan after I subscribe? The pricing page says you can cancel the subscription, and that refunds are not issued after purchase. Decide from the list-only trial before the first charge. ### What we read #### From Pipiads * Written by Nora Whitfield Editor covering seller tools and fee calculators Nora Whitfield edits GMV Ledger's reviews, comparisons and calculators.
