If you want to win on paid media, you need to see what competitors are actually putting in front of users. Not summaries. Not headlines alone. The real creative assets that are live right now.
GetCrux gives growth and creative teams direct visibility into the ads competitors are running across major platforms, with the context needed to understand what is being tested, what is scaling, and what is likely working.
This is competitive ad creative intelligence built for decision making, not curiosity.
Full Creative Visibility, Not Metadata
Most tools stop at ad copy or surface-level details. That is not enough to inform creative strategy.
With GetCrux, you can view:
- The exact images, videos, and carousels competitors are running
- Playable videos, not static thumbnails
- Primary text, headlines, and descriptions as shown to users
- Landing pages linked from each ad
- Multiple variants of the same concept running in parallel
You see how competitors are actually expressing value, not how they describe it internally.
Coverage Across Major Ad Platforms
Competitive insight only matters if it reflects where budgets are flowing.
GetCrux surfaces competitor creatives across key paid channels, including:
- Meta (Facebook and Instagram)
- Google (Search, Display, YouTube)
- TikTok
- X (Twitter)
- Snapchat
You can distinguish between mobile-first ads and web-focused placements to understand where attention is being captured.
Historical Creative Timelines That Reveal Winners
High-performing ads tend to run longer. Weak ideas disappear quickly.
GetCrux lets you:
- Look back at historical competitor creatives
- Track how ads evolve over time
- Identify concepts that have stayed live for weeks or months
- Spot creative refreshes versus entirely new angles
This makes it easier to separate one-off experiments from proven, scalable ideas.
Signals That Indicate Scale, Not Just Testing
Creative without context leads to wrong conclusions.
GetCrux adds useful signals that help you infer scale and intent:
- How long each ad has been active
- How many variations are running simultaneously
- Geographic targeting visibility where available
- Flight timelines that suggest testing versus rollout
These indicators help you understand whether a creative is exploratory or central to a competitor’s growth strategy.
Powerful Search and Filtering for Real Use Cases
Scrolling through thousands of ads is not insight.
GetCrux makes competitor creatives searchable and filterable by:
- Brand or advertiser
- Industry or keyword
- Ad format such as video, static, carousel, or UGC-style
- CTA type
- Country or region
- Launch date or activity status
This allows teams to quickly build focused swipe files instead of generic inspiration boards.
Built-In Creative Analysis to Extract Patterns
Seeing ads is step one. Understanding why they exist is step two.
GetCrux applies automated analysis to competitor creatives so teams can:
- Group ads by hooks, emotions, or value propositions
- Identify recurring visual or copy patterns
- Spot trending formats or narratives across competitors
- Compare creative approaches across brands in the same category
This turns competitor monitoring into a repeatable research input.
Save, Share, and Reuse Without Friction
Competitive insight needs to travel across teams.
With GetCrux, you can:
- Save competitor creatives into folders or boards
- Download assets for internal review
- Share collections with creative, growth, or leadership teams
- Monitor when competitors launch new ads over time
It becomes a shared source of truth, not a solo research task.
Reliable Data You Can Trust
Accuracy matters when decisions are tied to spend.
GetCrux relies on reliable ad data sources and continuous crawling to ensure:
- Creatives are not missing or broken
- Assets reflect what is actually live
- Coverage stays up to date as competitors launch or pause ads
You see what users see, as close to reality as possible.
Competitive Creative Intelligence, Done Right
Knowing what competitors are running is no longer optional. But raw ad libraries are noisy and incomplete.
GetCrux gives teams a clear, asset-level view into competitor advertising, with the depth and structure needed to inform real creative decisions.
If your team wants to understand what is actually working in your market, start with the creatives themselves.
