Is mediabuyer.site really free?

Yes. The entire browsing surface — creatives, advertiser hubs, landing-page captures, country footprints — is publicly viewable without an account. There is no upgrade prompt.

Does mediabuyer.site have everything a paid tool has?

No. The paid tools cover more ad surfaces (e.g. push notifications, pop, mobile in-app), more geos, and often have deeper historical archives. Mediabuyer.site focuses on the four major native content-recommendation networks (Taboola, Outbrain, MGID, RevContent) with high per-record quality. For broad multi-surface research, the paid tools may still be the right call; for native-only research, mediabuyer.site is usually enough.

How fresh is the data?

Crawls run on a daily cadence. New creatives appear on the live feed within hours of the next build. Each creative carries first-seen and last-seen timestamps.

What does the competitor cost?

Pricing changes often and quoting numbers here would go stale within weeks. Check the competitor's own pricing page for the current rate. Mediabuyer.site itself is free with no subscription tier.

A free AdPlexity alternative

AdPlexity is a subscription ad-intelligence platform with broad coverage across native, mobile, push, pop, and desktop ad surfaces, plus deep historical archives. Mediabuyer.site is a narrower, free, no-login alternative focused specifically on native content-recommendation creatives across Taboola, Outbrain, MGID, and RevContent.

Where AdPlexity goes wide — push notifications, pop traffic, mobile in-app, e-commerce surfaces — mediabuyer.site goes deep on the native open-web surface. Every creative carries the advertiser, the headline, the click-out URL with original parameters intact, the landing-page host the user is actually sent to, the country footprint, and how long the creative has been running. For a researcher doing native-only competitive analysis, that is usually enough.

What AdPlexity does that mediabuyer.site does not: push notification ad spy, pop traffic spy, mobile in-app spy, deep multi-year historical archives, and a saved-campaign workspace. What mediabuyer.site does that AdPlexity does not: serve the data publicly with no signup, no trial countdown, and no per-seat cost; expose every page as a Markdown mirror for LLM grounding; and publish a public data dictionary at /data-dictionary.

If your research is multi-surface and you need push or pop coverage, AdPlexity is the right tool. If your research is native-specific and the question is which creatives are running on Taboola or Outbrain this week, the free surface here will answer it.
