Everything the Ad Library won't do
Meta shows you every ad your competitors run, then deletes the history and hopes you weren't taking notes. Longtrove takes the notes.
Capture
A Save button on every card in the Meta Ad Library.
- One click captures the creative, copy, advertiser, start date, and platforms. Permanently, even after the ad is paused.
- Save + enrich also pulls the public details Meta buries: the call to action, destination landing page, and every platform it runs on.
- Saved states stay in sync across duplicate cards, and an optional auto-enrich mode captures everything on save.
Organize
A real library, not a folder of screenshots.
- Boards for competitors, campaigns, and angles. Create them right from the ad card and file one ad to as many as you like.
- Tags and notes on every ad, so the hook you spotted is still there next month.
- Search everything; filter by advertiser, media type, tag, or active status; sort by longest running.
Track
Know what's working, and when it changes.
- Longevity badges computed from Meta's own start dates: an ad running 90+ days is a winner someone is paying to keep alive.
- Track up to 25 advertisers and see launch/kill timelines with each ad's current status (Pro).
- Wake up to a daily email of exactly what tracked competitors launched and killed, then export any board to CSV (Pro).
One third the price of the agencies' tools
Search is never gated. Start free, upgrade when tracking pays for itself.
One job, done well
Foreplay, Swipekit, and Atria are creative-ops suites: briefs, AI agents, seat minimums. Longtrove is just the swipe file you actually use every day.
A third of the price
The suites start at $59/mo and climb past $300 as they race toward AI. Longtrove is $19, with a free tier that never expires.
No shared spy database
Saving happens right in your own browser as you browse the Ad Library. Tracking checks run from Longtrove's own servers, scoped only to the advertisers you choose, never a shared database of strangers' ads.

FAQ
Is this affiliated with Meta?
No. Longtrove is an independent tool that reads the same public Ad Library you can. It is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Meta.
What does Longtrove capture when I save an ad?
The creative (image or video), ad copy, advertiser, archive ID, start date, and capture time. Enrichment adds the public details Meta buries: the platforms it runs on, the call to action, the destination landing page, and more, automatically if you turn auto-enrich on.
How is Longtrove different from Foreplay, Swipekit, or ad-spy tools?
Those are creative-ops suites ($59–459/month) or spy databases for browsing millions of strangers' ads. Longtrove does one job: permanently save and organize the ads you find in the Meta Ad Library, and tell you when your competitors change theirs. If the swipe file is the part you actually use, you shouldn't pay suite prices for it.
What happens to saved ads when a competitor pauses them?
They stay in your Longtrove library. Saving creates a permanent history you can search and organize even after an ad disappears from the public Ad Library.
How is "longevity" calculated?
Longtrove calculates longevity from the public started-running date shown by the Meta Ad Library, so long-running creative stands out at a glance.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel your subscription anytime via your Stripe portal. No long-term contracts or hidden fees.
