Foreplay Alternative: Plans and Prices Compared
Short answer: Foreplay's pricing page (read 28 Oct 2026) lists Basic at $49/month, Workflow at $149 and Agency at $389, each with a 7-day free trial. If you only need a short list of Meta ads that kept running 30+ days and a way to remake them, AdExamples is a smaller, narrower option – it is not a bigger database. Updated 28 Oct 2026.
What you are really choosing between
Foreplay is an ad-spying and swipe-file tool: you search a very large ad database, save ads into boards and work with a team. AdExamples is a small curated library plus (once it opens) a maker that films your own product photo into a 15-second vertical ad. Different jobs – pick by whether you need to search millions of ads or to get one ad made.
How It Works in 3 Easy Steps
No app to install. Everything runs in your mobile browser.
Pick a product word
Search for what you sell – 'serum', 'dog harness', 'hair tool' – in the library you use.
Keep ads that ran 30+ days
Sort or filter by how long an ad has been running and keep the long runners.
Remake the structure
Write down the hook, demo, proof and offer, then film the same structure with your own product.
Foreplay's plans, as listed on its pricing page
Read from foreplay.co/pricing on 28 Oct 2026, monthly prices in US dollars before tax: Basic $49/month (1 seat, +$20 per extra seat), Workflow $149/month (5 seats), Agency $389/month (+$20 per seat, +$50 per brand). Every plan shows 'Start 7 Day Free Trial'. Annual billing is advertised as saving 15% (the page says 'Save $120 annually' for Basic). The page describes the database as 200M+ ads in the plans and as 'over 100M ads' in its header, so treat the size as approximate. It covers Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn ad libraries and can sort by longest-running ads. Check Foreplay's own page for current prices.
What AdExamples has instead
A snapshot of 473 US Meta ads that were still running after at least 30 days, from 276 advertisers in 9 product categories; the median ad had run 106 days. Each is a link to the public Meta Ad Library entry with the start date. It is a shortlist, not a search engine over millions of ads, and it does not cover TikTok or LinkedIn ads.
When Foreplay is the better choice
If you work for an agency, need boards and team sharing, or want to search any niche across Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn, a large database is what you pay Foreplay for. We do not match that.
When a smaller library is enough
If you sell one physical product and want a few proven structures to remake, 30+ day Meta ads for your category plus a maker may be all you need. The maker is not open yet; leave your email below for one message on the day it is live.
