Trendtrack alternatives: ads, store data and real prices

Trendtrack alternatives split three ways: tools that show only ads, tools that show ads plus a rival's store, and tools that add a sales or revenue estimate on top. As of 14 November 2026, Trendtrack itself starts at $34 a month billed yearly. Of the eight tools on this page, four say on their own pages that they put a sales or revenue estimate on a store.

That split matters more than any feature list. If you leave Trendtrack for a cheaper tool and it turns out to be ads only, you have lost half of what you were paying for. If you only ever used the ad library, you were paying for the other half for nothing.

I build ecvision, and it is one of the eight. It is judged by the same table and the same rules as the rest. For the wider list sorted by job, see the full roster of Shopify spy tools.

What does Trendtrack do, and what does it cost?

Trendtrack is a shop database, an ad library, an email library and a brand tracker in one account. As of 14 November 2026, Starter is $34 a month, Pro $62 and Business $111, all billed yearly, with Enterprise on custom pricing. Starter allows 5 lookups a week.

Its homepage sums it up as "Every store, every ad, every mail, every spend signal, updated every 24 hours." Stores are tracked "based on traffic and ad activity", and the ad search runs "by spend, format and performance". Its FAQ says "2 to 3 million new ads indexed every 24 hours".

The plans, from Trendtrack's pricing page:

What Trendtrack does well is breadth in one place: stores, ads and emails, refreshed daily. If you use all three and the lookup cap fits your week, the alternatives below mostly do less.

Why look for a Trendtrack alternative?

People typically leave Trendtrack for one of three reasons: as of 14 November 2026, the price climbs from $34 to $111 a month as you need more lookups, the Starter cap of 5 lookups a week runs out, or you only use one slice of it (ads, or stores) and pay for the rest.

The third reason is the one worth checking first. Look at the last month of what you actually opened in Trendtrack. If it was almost all the ad library, an ads-only tool will do. If it was almost all store pages, a store-first tool will do, some of them free. If it was both, you need one of the tools that cover both, and the question becomes which store figure you trust.

Which Trendtrack alternatives cover ads, store data, or both?

Three of the seven alternatives are ads only: Foreplay, AdSpy and BigSpy. Four cover ads and a rival's store: Dropship.io, Minea, Koala Inspector and ecvision. Those four also say on their own pages that they put a sales or revenue estimate on a store or its products.

How this was checked: each tool's own homepage and pricing page were read on 14 November 2026. A tool counts as showing store data only if its own page names store or product data. It counts as giving a sales estimate only if its own page says so in words like sales, revenue or sales volume. Other blogs' summaries were not used. One of the existing Trendtrack alternatives posts quotes a BigSpy "Pro" plan at $149 a month; BigSpy's own pricing page has no plan by that name, so every price below comes from the vendor.

Trendtrack sits in a grey spot. Its pages describe tracking stores by traffic and ad activity, but its homepage and pricing page, as read for this post, did not name a sales or revenue figure. That is not the same as saying it has none, so it is marked "not stated", not "no".

Is there an alternative that covers ads and store sales like Trendtrack?

Dropship.io is the closest like-for-like swap. It puts product research, ad spying, sales tracking and competitor analysis in one account. As of 14 November 2026, Basic is $26 a month billed yearly ($312 a year), or $39 billed monthly. It fits you if you used Trendtrack for store sales and Facebook ads and want both for less.

Its homepage says: "Paste any Shopify store or TikTok Shop link and watch daily sales, revenue, and growth rate show up within 24 hours." The ad side is a library of "millions of Facebook ads" with "ad spend and reach statistics".

One thing to check before you buy: the pricing page gives two different sets of Advertiser Library credits. One place says 5,000 / 12,500 / 25,000 and another says 10,000 / 25,000 / 50,000, for Basic, Standard and Premium. Ask them which is right for your plan.

Which alternative tracks ads beyond Meta, with products too?

Minea pairs ad search across several networks with product and shop tracking. As of 14 November 2026, Starter is $49 a month ($39 a month paid quarterly), Premium $99 ($79) and Business $199 ($158). Minea fits you if your rivals advertise beyond Meta and you still want product and shop data next to the ads.

Its homepage says it "tracks all ads across all networks" and has a "Track Trending Shops" view with traffic, revenue and top-ad data. Its pricing page is more careful. It lists "Snapchat, Pinterest, TikTok ads (coming soon)", so check that the network you need is live on the day you sign up.

Plans also differ by AI ad analysis: 10 a month on Starter, 50 on Premium, unlimited on Business.

Which alternative is cheapest if all you need is ads?

If you only open the ad library, three ads-only tools are worth a look. BigSpy has a free plan for Facebook ad creatives. AdSpy is one flat $149 a month for Facebook and Instagram. Foreplay starts at $59 a month and is built for saving and organising ad creative.

BigSpy. As of 14 November 2026, the Free plan gives "10 searches/day" and covers Facebook ads only. Paid plans add networks as you go up:

Growth and up also add "domain analysis", which is as close as BigSpy's pricing page gets to store data. It lists no product or sales figures.

AdSpy. One plan: "We offer virtually unlimited usage for just $149 per month!" It calls itself "the largest searchable database of Facebook and Instagram ads in the world", with "214.1 million+ ads, 88 different languages, across 225 countries". It fits you if Meta is the only channel you care about and you search a lot.

Foreplay. Basic is $59 a month ($49 on annual) for 1 user, to "Save and organize ad inspiration into shareable boards for beginners & freelancers." Workflow is $175 ($149 annual) for 5 users and Agency $459 ($389 annual) for 10. The higher plans add Spyder, which tracks competitor ads. Its page gives two different brand limits for Spyder: "10+ Brands" on the plan card, and 15 on Workflow and 50 on Agency in the comparison table. Foreplay fits a team that makes ads and wants a shared swipe file, not a store tracker.

Is there a free Trendtrack alternative?

Koala Inspector is the free option on the store side. Its Free plan includes shop structure, product statistics, newest products and best-sellers, CSV export and 15 tokens a month. As of 14 November 2026, Premium is $22 a month for 220 tokens and up to 50 tracked shops.

On its homepage, you "Click the icon on any store to see its best-sellers ranked by estimated sales volume." It also shows a store's theme, installed apps and traffic estimates.

It is not ads-free. Its pricing FAQ lists "ad campaigns (2 tokens)" among the token-gated features, and the homepage points to "the Facebook and Google ad campaigns running behind the scenes". The ad side is light and secondary, though. Koala Inspector fits you if you mostly used Trendtrack to look inside stores and can live with a token budget. Premium is "month-to-month and you can cancel at any time".

Which alternative also predicts a rival's revenue?

ecvision reads rivals you name: their Meta ads, catalogue, prices and social accounts, with revenue predicted from those. You ask your Claude or ChatGPT instead of opening a dashboard. As of 14 November 2026, Starter is $20 a month for your store plus 5 rivals.

Its homepage puts the store side as "Revenue predicted from their catalogue, prices and ads; stock read off their store", and the delivery as "Ask your Claude or ChatGPT; every figure comes back dated." Dropship.io, Minea and Koala Inspector also give a sales figure of some kind. What is different here is the combination: one rival's Meta ads, a predicted revenue figure for "every product" in the store, and an AI assistant as the way you read it.

The plans, from the pricing section of ecvision's homepage:

On Free, the ads page has the "eight newest creatives withheld", and there are "No new catalogue, price or social reads". Growth adds "Scan as often as daily". For what each plan includes line by line, see ecvision's pricing explained.

It is not an ad database. You won't search millions of ads from strangers. ecvision fits a founder who knows their five or ten real rivals and wants to know what those stores sell, charge and advertise. If you need a market-wide search for trending products, Trendtrack, Minea or Dropship.io do that job and ecvision does not.

Which Trendtrack alternative should you choose?

Pick by what you actually used Trendtrack for. Ads only: BigSpy Free or AdSpy. Ads plus store sales in one dashboard: Dropship.io. Ads beyond Meta with product data: Minea. Free, store-first: Koala Inspector. Named rivals' ads plus predicted revenue in your AI assistant: ecvision.

Say you sell swimwear, and one rival you know keeps launching new prints. On Trendtrack Starter you spend your 5 weekly lookups checking them and two others. Ask what you need from each lookup. If it is "which of their ads are new this week", BigSpy's free plan or AdSpy covers it. If it is "is the new print selling", you need a sales figure, so the choice is between Dropship.io's store tracker, Koala Inspector's best-seller ranking, and ecvision's per-product revenue prediction for the few rivals you name. If it is "what is trending across all swimwear stores", stay on Trendtrack or try Minea.

A short checklist before you switch:

1. List what you opened in Trendtrack last month: ads, stores, emails.
2. Drop every tool on this page that doesn't cover those.
3. Check the cap that will bite first: lookups, tokens, shops tracked or rivals.
4. Compare the price you would really pay, monthly or yearly, as of the day you buy.
5. Start on a free plan where one exists (BigSpy, Koala Inspector, ecvision) before paying.
