Where each one falls short

Against the other two on this page. SpotPeaks is not left out.

Minea

Store sales estimates and TikTok Shop data, which Dropship.io has and Minea's site does not list, and a profit check after ad costs. Its TikTok and Pinterest ads need Premium at $99 a month, and searches use credits.

Dropship.io

TikTok and Pinterest ad research, which Minea has from Premium and Dropship.io's site does not list, and a profit check after ad costs. Its sales and revenue figures are estimates, not store data, and lookups use credits.

SpotPeaks

Pinterest ads and store sales estimates, which it does not have, and far fewer TikTok ads than Facebook ads so far. It is newer than both, so it does not have years of ad history.

Each tool in full

What each does well, where it falls short, every plan and its trial.

Minea

Ad research across Facebook, TikTok and Pinterest

Minea is the pick for researching ads across several platforms at once, with a credit system that suits people who search often.

What it does well

Strong ad filters across the major social platforms, a Chrome extension, and one place to see an ad, its engagement and the store behind it. Premium adds TikTok, Pinterest and shop analysis in the same interface.

Where it falls short

Searches use credits, so heavy use means a higher plan. TikTok and Pinterest ads start on Premium at $99 a month, and it shows what is being advertised rather than whether it still pays after the ad.

Dropship.io

Tracking what Shopify stores sell

Dropship.io is the pick for tracking what competing Shopify stores and TikTok Shop sellers sell, with sales and revenue estimates for each.

What it does well

Good at answering "what is this store selling and how much", with a product library, a competitor tracker and a Chrome extension. Plans share the same tools and differ mainly in credits and limits.

Where it falls short

Searches and lookups use credits on every plan, and sales and revenue figures are estimates rather than store data.

SpotPeaks

Knowing whether a product still pays after ad costs

SpotPeaks is the pick when the question is whether a product will still make money after you pay for the ads, because it works out the price to charge and what you keep per sale for every product it shows.

What it does well

Every product comes with the full cost of selling it in the US: the item, shipping, import duty, the card fee and the ad cost of one buyer, so you see what you keep before you spend anything. It also reads the stores already selling a product and how long their ads have run, and turns a pick into a launch plan with the ad copy written.

Where it falls short

It is a newer tool, so it does not have years of ad history yet. It does not fulfill orders, and its prices and ad costs are worked out for selling in the US, so sellers aiming at other markets will need to adjust.

Price
Research $29.99 a month; Launch $49.99 a month or $419 a year; Launch Plus $69.99 a month or $587 a year
