The stores that are actually buying ads
A top-stores list can be a year out of date. These are the storefronts whose ads are running now: how long each has run, what they charge, whether you could source what they sell, and what you would keep at their price.

Every store opens to the ads it is paying for
A store spy that stops at a screenshot of the homepage tells you nothing you can act on. Here a store opens to the campaigns it is paying for, ranked by how long each has run and how many people it reached, with the price on every advertised product and our copy of the video.
The frame beside this is one real store, a car-accessories seller. Its ads have run between 1 and 9 months, and the longest is on a product it charges $29.99 for. That is a store feeding what works, and you can read its whole set from any one of its ads.
- Their best ad we can source, with our copy of the video
- Sort the list by longest ad, most people reached, or best match to a supplier
- Paste any store and its public catalogue is read and priced the same way
Then its products, priced at what it charges
The same store, one step down. Every product it advertises that pairs to a supplier we track is priced the way the product page prices everything: the item, its shipping, US import duty, the card fee and the ad it takes to find one buyer, at the store’s own price.
That is the number a store spy cannot give you and the only one that matters: not how big the store looks, but whether copying its price on its product leaves anything after the customer is paid for. On this store, none of the four keep money at its own price.
A store’s size is not its profit
Store spy tools sell you a revenue figure nobody outside the store can see. We show what a store pays for, what it charges, and what you would keep at its prices. The same car-accessories store as above.
Illustrative figures of the kind these tools publish, inferred from the outside: order counters a store can switch off or pad, traffic models, and guesses built on those guesses. Nobody outside the store can see its sales.
Published and measured, then priced for you: the same product, at the store’s price, with the ad it takes to find one buyer.
Not just this one store. We ran the same numbers on every product we could match across the stores we track, each at the price its store charges.
Out of every 100, only 24 still make money once the ad is paid for
Counted live from the stores we track, with the same math as every product page.
An ad that keeps running is the one public sign that a store is making money on it. We show how long every ad has run and what its product would leave you at the store’s price, so you study the stores that last, not the ones that look big.
From a store to your first order, in four numbers
A store that has kept the same ad running for six months has already done your testing. It found the product, found the price, and has paid every day since to keep selling it. That is the kind of store the list surfaces, and here is what copying it looks like.
It charges $98.96. The product it advertises pairs to a supplier listing that costs you $34.20 with shipping and US import tax. One buyer at US ad rates costs $37.22. Sell it at their price and you keep $24.27 a sale, before you have improved a single thing about their offer.
The store runs 4 ads, all on this one product at $98.96: one product, priced with the ad in, and fed every day since. That is what a store worth copying looks like.
Per sale, at their price, with the card fee taken. Open the store to see all 4 of its ads and every product priced the same way.
A store selling its own brand is labelled, not hidden
Plenty of the storefronts buying ads are real brands. Their product does not exist at any supplier, so a list that quietly treats them like everything else sends you looking for something you can never buy.
We read the store’s own product titles against its name. A dropshipper sells a supplier product under a generic title; a brand puts its name on it. When that fires, the store keeps its place with a red label on it, because a campaign that has run for a year and a half is still worth reading, even when the product is not for sale to you.
You cannot source the same item here. Anything that looks paired underneath is a title lookalike, and the page says so instead of listing it.
Most advertisers run one ad. Study the few that run five or more
The stores you are up against are not a wall of giants. Most run exactly one ad, which is usually a test, and the median advertiser’s Facebook page has 5,108 likes. The operators worth studying are the small share running five or more: a store that keeps adding ads has found something that pays.
That is how the list is ranked: by what a store hands you at the end, not by how big it looks. A store with one ad running for a year beats a store with twenty ads running for a week.
What this can and cannot tell you
- Which stores are paying for ads right now, and for how long each ad has run
- What a store charges for every product it advertises
- Which of its products you could source, and what you would keep at its price
- When a store is a brand whose product you cannot buy
- What a store earns or how many orders it takes: nobody outside the store can see that, so we print no estimate
- Which of a store's unadvertised products sell: we see what it pays to promote, not its whole catalogue
- Whether copying a store will work for you: its offer, page and creative are yours to study, not ours to promise
Cheaper than one bad test
Testing one product blind costs $150-300 in ad spend you will likely lose. SpotPeaks starts at $29.99 a month, so you are paying to not torch a few hundred dollars on a product the numbers already said no to.

Fair questions
Does it show how much a store makes?
No, and that is deliberate. Nobody outside a store can see its sales; the tools that print a revenue figure infer it from an order counter a store can switch off or pad, and then present the guess beside real numbers so the guess looks real too. What we print is what the store is paying for (its ads, and for how long), what it charges, and what you would keep selling the same product at that price.
How do stores get onto the list?
By advertising. We resolve where each ad points, and the storefront at the other end goes on the list with the campaigns behind it and how long each has run. That is a different population from a directory of popular stores: it skews to operators spending right now, which is exactly who is worth studying if you are about to spend too.
Why are there fewer stores than in other tools?
Because a store is listed by default only when at least one of its ads pairs to a product a supplier we know actually carries. Most advertised storefronts sell their own brand, a custom product, or something no tracked supplier stocks, and listing them as if you could copy them would send you sourcing things that cannot be bought. The full set is one click away for studying the marketing.
What does the own-brand label mean?
That the store's own product titles carry its name, the way brands do and dropshippers do not. It is a signal, not a trademark check, so the store stays listed with a red label instead of being removed: the marketing is still worth reading even when the product cannot be sourced.
Can I check a store that is not on the list?
Yes, with Store X-Ray, the Chrome extension included in every plan. Open any store and its panel reads the whole catalogue and prices every product against what a US customer costs; when we track the store, it also shows the ads it runs.
What do I get from a store beyond the product?
Its campaigns ranked by how long they have run and how many people they reached, the price on every advertised product, its best ad we can source, the video of that ad, and the product page that prices the whole order, the ad included. Study the offer, the price and the creative together, then decide whether to copy any of it.
See it against a product you are already considering
Everything on this page runs against live supplier listings and ads that were still up when we last looked. 7 days free on Launch, and cancel is a button in settings rather than a support ticket.
