The secret weapon for YouTube ads.Swipe what already works for your competitors.

AdSee indexes 16M+ YouTube video ads, of which 5M+ are unlisted. 3M+ are fully AI-analyzed with transcripts and visual descriptions. The database grows by roughly 150K ads per day.

Because AdSee only indexes what's currently relevant. Our database covers YouTube ads from 2025 onward — we're a newer platform, and we built the pipeline for the way YouTube advertising works now. Older tools carry archives going back to 2022, but a creative that stopped running three years ago tells you very little about what's converting today. AdSee adds 150K+ new ads every day, so coverage of active campaigns keeps deepening — including 5M+ unlisted ads most tools never index at all.

Unlisted ads are video ads uploaded privately and served through paid placements — they never appear on the advertiser's public channel or in YouTube search. Most competitor ad spend goes to creatives you can't find by browsing their channel. AdSee holds 5M+ of them.

All of them — and you don't need to match the ad's language to find it. AdSee uses semantic (meaning-based) search: type your query in English and it will surface relevant ads in Spanish, Portuguese, German, or any other language, because the search understands what the ad is about, not just the words it uses. You can still filter by language to focus on a specific market.

AdSee tracks where each YouTube ad was shown and lets you filter by country. Coverage is deepest in North America (US, Canada), Europe (UK, Germany, France, Spain and more), Australia, and Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina), with new markets added as the database grows.

This mostly affects unlisted videos — ads that are hidden from public discovery on YouTube and exist only as ad placements. Determining where these ads were shown takes additional processing, so country data for them may appear with a delay or be temporarily unavailable. We're actively expanding this coverage.

AdSee adds 150K+ new YouTube ads every day, with AI processing running continuously — so newly launched competitor creatives typically appear within a day.

Yes. AdSee transcribes every ad in full, so you can search the exact words spoken — a specific hook, claim, price point, or guarantee — and get every competitor using it.

Yes. AdSee generates an AI description of every ad's visuals, so a plain-language query like "dog playing on a beach" returns the ads containing that footage. No keywords or tags required.

Yes. AdSee shows which countries each ad ran in, and you can filter search results by market — useful for finding what a competitor is testing in your region versus scaling globally.

Yes. Where an ad drives to a landing page, AdSee links the two — so you can evaluate the creative and the funnel together instead of judging the video in isolation.

We estimate the media spend behind each ad from its view count and the countries it ran in, using country-level cost-per-view benchmarks. Estimates are always shown as a range (like $220K–$560K), never a single number — YouTube pricing is auction-based, so a range is the honest answer. Our methodology page explains the full approach.

Yes. From any ad, AdSee surfaces similar ads matched on spoken content, visuals, or both, with filters for industry, language, duration, and country to narrow the set.
