Minea: widest multi-platform coverage

If you want to step beyond a single platform and watch Facebook, TikTok and Pinterest ads together, Minea is the most direct multi-platform swap, with a 200M+ ad database and full-funnel tracing. At roughly $49/month, it suits product researchers who want one place for many channels' creatives.

Dropship.io: store revenue + ad-spend tracking

WinningHunter already includes sales tracking; if you want more of a store-level lens, Dropship.io is the natural swap: from roughly $39/month, it focuses on tracking rival stores' revenue, ad spend and performance, blending product discovery with measurable sales and ad data.

BigSpy: largest database, has a free tier

BigSpy covers around 9+ platforms and tracks a billion-plus ads — broad but less curated than WinningHunter. It has a free tier to test, with an entry plan from roughly $9/month. Best if you want a low-cost way to explore multi-platform ad spy.

Don't skip the "does it actually sell" step

Ad and store tracking show you rivals, but whether to enter a product and whether it makes money lives on the TikTok Shop sales side and the unit economics. To research TikTok Shop products in depth, see the TikTok Shop product-research tool review; for Kalodata vs FastMoss, see this comparison.
