Not ideal for
The Starter tier is far more limited than the headline numbers suggest: Brand Library is capped at 15,000 stores rather than the advertised 7.5M+, and Trends, real-time alerts and API access are all excluded.
Why it stands out
Store economics and ad creative live in the same tool: you can move from a scaling ad to the store's traffic, revenue estimate, best sellers and tech stack without switching products.

Overview

Brandsearch positions itself around one idea: only trust products that already have real ad spend behind them. Everything in the product is organised to get from a scaling ad to the store's economics, and back again.

Brand Library is the store side. It indexes 7.5M+ Shopify stores with traffic sources and volume, revenue estimates, growth trend, best-selling products and installed-app tech stack, with AI-assisted market research and similar-store discovery on top. Discovery is the ad side: an AI search engine across the ad corpus, searchable by keyword, niche, format, platform and visual content, with results rankable globally by Ad Rank or filterable by verified EU and UK ad spend. Bulk HD creative download is included on every tier.

Spectre is the piece most reviewers single out. Point it at a competitor and it builds and maintains that brand's full ad and landing-page library, updated daily, decoding hooks, copy and funnel structure — and it exports as JSON specifically so the output can be fed into an AI for pattern detection. Tracked-brand slots are the real pricing lever: 5 on Starter, 50 on Outscaler, 100 on Agency, swappable at any time. Trends adds the demand side that most ad-spy tools skip: 12 months of Google Trends history per niche with a forward forecast, 150+ AI-classified niches, competition scoring and the brands actually selling into each trend. Swipe Files holds saved ads, landing pages and brands permanently, private by default and shareable by link, with a team, or publicly.

The AI layer is unusually well built out. A hosted MCP endpoint with OAuth sign-in connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Windsurf, returning competitive matrices and trend reports as re-runnable artifacts. Underneath, the same data is a documented REST API with an X-API-Key header and webhooks. Note that API and MCP are excluded from Starter, that Outscaler and Agency both include only 10,000 requests a month, and that heavier use means a separate API plan at $99, $189 or $349 a month for 100K, 250K or 500K requests.

Pricing is aggressive for the category — from 54€/month, or 41€/month on annual billing, excluding VAT — but the Starter tier is more restricted than the headline suggests: Brand Library is capped at 15,000 stores rather than the advertised 7.5M+, and Trends, alerts and API are all off. Outscaler at 68€ is where the product becomes what the marketing describes.

Two things deserve caution before buying. The official pages contradict each other in several places: the headline says 160M+ ads while the comparison table says 120M+; the FAQ says annual billing saves 20% while the toggle advertises roughly three months free; the FAQ promises 'unlimited Spectre access' on annual plans while the table caps Spectre at 5, 50 and 100 brands; and the trial is described as free in every call to action but as a 3-day trial for $1 in the page's own structured data. Second, independent validation is limited: Trustpilot sits at 4.1 across 21 reviews, with praise for the interface and breadth and a minority reporting ads that fail to display and poor customer service. Payments are non-refundable under the terms of service, with no refund for unused periods.

  • Landing Page Spying

    Spectre: 5 brands on Starter, 50 on Outscaler, 100 on Agency · Spectre auto-builds a per-competitor library of every ad and landing page, refreshed daily, and decodes hooks, copy and landing pages. Landing pages can also be saved into Swipe Files from anywhere on the web.

    Yes

  • Pinterest Ads Research

    The plan cards enumerate the covered ad sources as Meta, TikTok, Instagram and Emails, and the MCP page repeats Meta, TikTok and Instagram. Pinterest appears nowhere on the site. Recorded as 'no' on the strength of that repeated enumeration rather than mere absence.

    not supported

  • TikTok Ads Research

    Included on all plans · TikTok is one of the four Winning-ads sources listed on every plan card alongside Meta, Instagram and Emails. The MCP page confirms live Meta, TikTok and Instagram ads are exposed through the API, and the browser extension saves creatives from the TikTok Creative Center. Brand Library also filters stores by TikTok organic activity.

An MCP endpoint at api.brandsearch.co/v1/mcp uses OAuth. Starter has no API access, although the same comparison table inconsistently lists a 5,000 quota for it.

    Yes

  • Team Collaboration

    1 seat on Starter, 2 on Outscaler, 5 on Agency · 5 · Folders are private by default and can be shared by link, with teammates, or publicly. Swipe files and moodboards are collaborative, and briefs can be tagged and filtered for the team. limit_value reflects the Agency plan's seats.

Cons

  • The Starter tier is far more limited than the headline numbers suggest: Brand Library is capped at 15,000 stores rather than the advertised 7.5M+, and Trends, real-time alerts and API access are all excluded.
  • Official pages contradict each other in several places — 160M+ ads on the homepage vs 120M+ in the comparison table, a 20% annual discount in the FAQ vs roughly three months free on the toggle, and an FAQ promise of 'unlimited Spectre' that the same page's table caps at 5, 50 and 100 brands.
  • The trial is described inconsistently: every call to action and the pricing page title say free, while that page's own structured data describes a 3-day trial for $1. Buyers should confirm the terms before signing up.
  • Programmatic use gets expensive: Outscaler and Agency include only 10,000 API requests a month, and additional quota is sold as separate plans at $99, $189 or $349 per month on top of the platform subscription.

Frequently asked questions

What is Brandsearch used for?
Finding and reverse-engineering what is already working in ecommerce. It is used to search a 7.5M+ Shopify store database by traffic, revenue estimate and growth, search the ad corpus for winning creatives by niche, format and EU/UK spend, track named competitors so their ads and landing pages are collected automatically every day, and monitor niche demand through Google Trends data.
How much does Brandsearch cost?
Three plans are published: Starter at 54€/month, Outscaler at 68€/month and Agency at 129€/month, all excluding VAT and priced per workspace. Annual billing is advertised as roughly three months free and displays 41€, 51€ and 103€ per month, i.e. about 492€, 612€ and 1,236€ for a full year. API quota plans are sold separately at $99, $189 and $349 per month. Prices are shown in euros from an EU connection and the site's structured data quotes USD, so the billing currency may depend on your location.
Does Brandsearch have a free plan or a free trial?
There is no free plan: the pricing page lists three paid tiers and the terms of service describe a subscription-only model. The trial is ambiguous — every call to action and the pricing page title say free, but the page's own structured data describes a 3-day trial for $1, so confirm the terms at checkout. Separately, the Chrome extension is genuinely free, works as a guest for store analysis, and only requires a free account to save ads into a swipe file.
Which ad platforms does Brandsearch cover?
Every plan lists Meta, TikTok, Instagram and competitor emails as covered sources, and Brand Library additionally filters stores by active Google ads. Ads can be filtered by verified EU and UK ad spend on all tiers. Pinterest is not covered.
What is the difference between Starter and Outscaler?
Starter sees only 15,000 stores in Brand Library, tracks 5 brands in Spectre, includes 1 seat, and has no Trends, no competitor alerts and no API. Outscaler unlocks the full store database, raises Spectre to 50 tracked brands, adds a second seat, and turns on Trends, real-time alerts and API/MCP access with a 10,000 request monthly quota. For most buyers, Outscaler is the first tier that matches the product as marketed.
Can Brandsearch be used from Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes, on Outscaler and Agency. Brandsearch hosts an MCP endpoint at api.brandsearch.co/v1/mcp with OAuth sign-in, supported by Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Windsurf, and it can return competitive matrices and trend reports as re-runnable artifacts. The same data is also a REST API authenticated with an X-API-Key header, with webhooks. Starter has neither.
Can I connect my own Shopify store?
No. Brandsearch's relationship with Shopify is data coverage, not account connection: it indexes public Shopify stores and reports their traffic, revenue estimates, products and installed apps. There is no Shopify App Store listing or merchant OAuth flow, and the site states it is not affiliated with Shopify. It is a tool for studying other stores, not for analysing your own.
How reliable are the revenue and traffic estimates?
They are estimates, and the vendor does not publish how they are modelled. Store records carry an estimated revenue alongside traffic figures, and the same estimates power a free public Shopify revenue estimator. Ad spend is a separate and firmer signal, since EU and UK figures come from ad transparency data. Treat revenue numbers as directional for ranking and comparison rather than as verified financials.

No. Brandsearch's relationship with Shopify is data coverage, not account connection: it indexes public Shopify stores and reports their traffic, revenue estimates, products and installed apps. There is no Shopify App Store listing or merchant OAuth flow, and the site states it is not affiliated with Shopify. It is a tool for studying other stores, not for analysing your own.

How reliable are the revenue and traffic estimates?
They are estimates, and the vendor does not publish how they are modelled. Store records carry an estimated revenue alongside traffic figures, and the same estimates power a free public Shopify revenue estimator. Ad spend is a separate and firmer signal, since EU and UK figures come from ad transparency data. Treat revenue numbers as directional for ranking and comparison rather than as verified financials.

What is Brandsearch used for?
Finding and reverse-engineering what is already working in ecommerce. It is used to search a 7.5M+ Shopify store database by traffic, revenue estimate and growth, search the ad corpus for winning creatives by niche, format and EU/UK spend, track named competitors so their ads and landing pages are collected automatically every day, and monitor niche demand through Google Trends data.
How much does Brandsearch cost?
Three plans are published: Starter at 54€/month, Outscaler at 68€/month and Agency at 129€/month, all excluding VAT and priced per workspace. Annual billing is advertised as roughly three months free and displays 41€, 51€ and 103€ per month, i.e. about 492€, 612€ and 1,236€ for a full year. API quota plans are sold separately at $99, $189 and $349 per month. Prices are shown in euros from an EU connection and the site's structured data quotes USD, so the billing currency may depend on your location.
Does Brandsearch have a free plan or a free trial?
There is no free plan: the pricing page lists three paid tiers and the terms of service describe a subscription-only model. The trial is ambiguous — every call to action and the pricing page title say free, but the page's own structured data describes a 3-day trial for $1, so confirm the terms at checkout. Separately, the Chrome extension is genuinely free, works as a guest for store analysis, and only requires a free account to save ads into a swipe file.
Which ad platforms does Brandsearch cover?
Every plan lists Meta, TikTok, Instagram and competitor emails as covered sources, and Brand Library additionally filters stores by active Google ads. Ads can be filtered by verified EU and UK ad spend on all tiers. Pinterest is not covered.
What is the difference between Starter and Outscaler?
Starter sees only 15,000 stores in Brand Library, tracks 5 brands in Spectre, includes 1 seat, and has no Trends, no competitor alerts and no API. Outscaler unlocks the full store database, raises Spectre to 50 tracked brands, adds a second seat, and turns on Trends, real-time alerts and API/MCP access with a 10,000 request monthly quota. For most buyers, Outscaler is the first tier that matches the product as marketed.
Can Brandsearch be used from Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes, on Outscaler and Agency. Brandsearch hosts an MCP endpoint at api.brandsearch.co/v1/mcp with OAuth sign-in, supported by Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Windsurf, and it can return competitive matrices and trend reports as re-runnable artifacts. The same data is also a REST API authenticated with an X-API-Key header, with webhooks. Starter has neither.
