Where Foreplay is great
- The widest save-anywhere swipe file, with a browser extension and a mobile app.
- Spyder tracks competitor Meta ads daily, with landing-page archives and summaries.
- Flat per-seat pricing with no ad-spend tiers.
What you'd miss
- No competitor tracking on the cheapest plan; Workflow starts at $149 a month when billed annually.
- It finds and ranks ads, but doesn't tell you what to test next each week.
- No free plan: the trial needs a card and bills automatically when it ends.
Choose Foreplay if you mostly need a big cross-platform swipe file for a team, across Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn and YouTube Shorts, more than someone telling you what to test. Choose Seercraft if you want your competitors read for you every day and three cited tests for your brand every week.

From the people who use our Ad Library actor
“I rarely leave reviews, but this Actor saved me a lot of time. Worked exactly how I needed it to.”
“I spoke to Anas, the builder of this tool, and he's very friendly and open to feedback. … it's much much better than any of the other tools that exist out there. Highly recommend it!”

Seercraft offers a 7-day free trial, including competitor tracking, Seer's cited reads and weekly test ideas. See the pricing page for current plans and limits.
How is Seercraft different from Foreplay?
Foreplay is built around saving and organising ads. Seercraft is built around reading your competitors: it checks them daily, groups copies into ideas, and writes 3 cited tests for your brand every week.
Can I move from Foreplay to Seercraft?
Yes. Add the brands you were watching (it takes a minute each) and Seer starts reading their ads straight away. Save the ads you want to keep into boards. If you're moving a large library, email [email protected] and we'll help.
Does Seercraft show competitor ad spend?
No. Nobody outside Meta can see spend for commercial ads outside the EU. Seercraft uses public signals instead: how long ads run, how many versions of an idea a brand makes and how fast it adds new ones.
