Is mediabuyer.site really free?

Yes. The browsing surface — every creative, every advertiser hub, every landing-page capture — is publicly viewable without an account. No paywall, no trial countdown, no upgrade prompt. The project is operator-built and runs on its own infrastructure.

Does it require a login or signup?

No. There is no signup wall. Anyone can open a creative, see its landing page, advertiser, country footprint, and how long it has been running. Saving creatives to a personal watchlist is the only feature that asks for an account, and even that is optional.

Which native ad networks does it cover?

Taboola, Outbrain, MGID, and RevContent — the four major content-recommendation networks that place sponsored articles and product cards alongside editorial content on publisher sites. Coverage spans the open web (publisher-side placements), not the social platforms.

How fresh is the data?

Crawls run on a daily cadence. New creatives observed in the last crawl appear on the live feed within hours of the next build. Each creative carries first-seen and last-seen timestamps so a researcher can tell whether they are looking at something that started running last week or something that has been live for months.

What fields does each creative carry?

Network, advertiser, headline, thumbnail, click-out URL (with all original parameters preserved), landing-page host, country footprint, vertical, first-seen, last-seen, days-running, longevity decile. The full reference is at /data-dictionary.

Best free native ad spy tool

Most native ad spy tools sit behind a subscription paywall. Mediabuyer.site is the open-access alternative: a public index of live creatives across the four major content-recommendation networks — Taboola, Outbrain, MGID, and RevContent — with no signup, no trial countdown, and no per-seat pricing.

Every creative on the site carries the same fields a subscription tool exposes: network, advertiser, headline, thumbnail, click-out URL with the original query parameters intact, the landing-page host the user is sent to, the countries the creative was observed in, the vertical it was classified under, and the date range it has been running. The data dictionary at /data-dictionary documents every field.

For an affiliate marketer or media buyer evaluating whether a paid spy subscription is worth the cost, the free surface here is enough to answer most questions — what is running on a given network this week, which advertisers are running long, what landing pages a publisher cluster points to. The corpus is narrower in some dimensions than the leading paid tools, but the trade-off is that you can open the result of any query without first handing over a credit card.
