  • •Shows **exact targeting** (e.g., age + country) rather than inferring targeting from who saw the ad.
  • •Saves and lets you download landing pages (including dependencies) to avoid dead/cloaked pages.

  • •Permanent archive of ads served from their own servers (ads still viewable after deletion).

✗ Weaknesses

  • •Pricing is relatively high compared to many ecommerce-focused adspy tools.
