What ads are my competitors running?
Any brand name works. The snapshot is free and needs no account; the same brand is checked once and shared, so popular names come back instantly.
Your snapshot lands here
A positioning read on the brand you name, and the gaps the full report closes.
Name a brand and see how its competitors show up in market: what they put in front of buyers, what they lead with, and where the shelf is contested. Every claim carries an evidence grade and a source you can open, and anything we could not stand behind is listed as a gap instead of a confident sentence.

How Pikkl reads the competition
- 01
Reads the public web
Bounded search across trade press, listings and public archives, capped so cost and time stay predictable.
- 02
Grades every claim
Each finding is marked verified, reported, modelled or inferred, and keeps the article it came from.
- 03
Names what it could not verify
Anything unsourced becomes a gap instead of a confident sentence. The gaps are the honest part.
Three other angles on the same brand
This tool covers one part of the picture, and its report ends by naming what the others would add. They share one engine and one evidence contract, so the grades mean the same thing everywhere.

The bits people ask about
Start with the free snapshot here: name the brand and you get a positioning read plus the specific things that could not be verified. The full report adds graded findings with article-level sources, and vision over the competitor creatives and listing images you point it at.
No, and they pair well. The Ad Library shows you the creatives a page has live, which our Competitor ad library tool pulls for you. This tool is the read on top: what the market is saying about those competitors, graded by how well it is sourced, with the holes named.
A chatbot reads the web and asserts. This grades what it found: verified means we looked at the artefact ourselves, reported means a source says so and the article link is attached, inferred means we reasoned it and it is listed as a gap in the same breath. A figure that cannot be sourced is dropped rather than softened.
A gap is something the research could not stand behind: no source, too small a sample, or no access to the artefact. Hiding those is how confident nonsense gets shipped, so we list them. They are also exactly what the paid report closes, which is why the free snapshot shows them rather than burying them.
Verified: we looked at the creative or listing ourselves. Reported: a source says so, and an article-level URL is attached. Modelled: computed by us from other graded inputs. Inferred: reasoned with no source, and mirrored into the gap list so it is never mistaken for a fact.
No. Type a brand, get the snapshot and the gaps, no signup and no form. You sign in only for the full report, and signing in is one click with 50 free credits attached.
Typically a minute or two. Pillars search in parallel, and the search budget is capped on purpose so cost and time both stay predictable.
