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 Anstrex alternative

Anstrex is a subscription ad-intelligence platform with strong coverage of native, push, and pop ad surfaces and a refined filter interface for media buyers. Mediabuyer.site is a free, no-login alternative focused specifically on native content-recommendation creatives across Taboola, Outbrain, MGID, and RevContent.

Anstrex's native module covers a broader set of native networks and tends to surface more long-tail creatives. Mediabuyer.site covers the four largest content-recommendation networks with curated coverage — every creative on the site has been observed running and carries a complete metadata record (advertiser, country, vertical, days-running, landing page).

Where Anstrex goes deeper: push notification ad spy, pop ad spy, more granular filter combinations, and a saved-campaign workspace. Where mediabuyer.site is enough: free public access, no signup wall, per-creative Markdown mirrors for LLM grounding, and a public data dictionary at /data-dictionary that documents every field.

For push or pop research, Anstrex is the better fit. For native open-web research where the question is which advertisers are running which angles right now across the four major content-recommendation surfaces, the free surface here will answer it without a subscription.
