The search function in an ad spy tool allows users to search for products based on specific parameters such as keywords, domain names or page names. In the table below, we have selected a few key search options to evaluate the performance of the two tools.
{{adheart-vs-minea2="/cms-component-links/cms-comparaison-app-vs-app-v2-0"}}
The table shows that Adheart offers many search options, but lacks some relevant ones. For example, search by comment and search by Facebook page name. These options are available in Minea, which leads us to conclude that Minea offers more product search options than Adheart.
Filtering and sorting functionalities refer to the tools integrated into a spy tool that enable users to restrict and prioritize their searches according to specific criteria. Filters, for their part, are selection parameters that enable searches to be limited according to certain predefined characteristics. Sorts are classification parameters that organize data in an order.
{{adheart-vs-minea3="/cms-component-links/cms-comparaison-app-vs-app-v2-0"}}
To examine the filtering and sorting features offered by both tools, we've identified 19 options crucial to dropshippers and e-merchants in the table above. Following a thorough search of these options on both spy tools, we found that Minea offers 16 options, while Adheart offers 9. As a result, we can conclude that Minea is the tool offering the most possibilities in terms of filtering and sorting.
Ad information refers to the details relating to the advertisements delivered. These details include elements such as ad content, associated visuals, text, ad format, target demographics, delivery period, measured performance, and so on. Indeed, analysis of this ad information is crucial to understanding the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.
In the following comparison table, we compare the two tools, taking into account some relevant information.
{{adheart-vs-minea4="/cms-component-links/cms-comparaison-app-vs-app-v2-0"}}
In this table, we've selected 20 essential pieces of information for dropshippers and e-tailers. Our research has shown that more than half of this information is not available on Adheart, whereas on Minea, almost all the data listed in the table is available. We can therefore conclude that Minea is the tool that provides the most information on ads collected on social networks.
The term "ad volume" refers to the total number of advertisements present on a social network. In other words, it's the overall number of ads collected by a spy tool on a social network.
In our case, to check which of the two tools collects the greatest volume of ads, let's carry out a manual check on each tool. To do this, we'll use the ads collected on the social network common to both tools: Facebook.
Our verification procedure will involve applying relevant search filters on the tools to assess their respective capacity in terms of ad library. It is important to note that the tool generating the highest number of results in this targeted search will be considered to have the largest ad volume or ad database.
Here are the significant filters we have chosen for this test:
After applying various filters to Minea's Facebook database, we obtained 74 results, representing ads collected over the last 30 days.
When we tried to apply the same filters on Adheart, we noticed that Adheart doesn't have a filter by engagement. This means that it's not possible to filter ads based on likes. This makes searching even more complicated, as you won't be able to filter ads by engagement. We were therefore unable to apply the filters properly to assess ad volume.
However, using the same filters on Adheart, only 30 ads were provided. This test highlights the disparity in database size, demonstrating that the Minea product search tool has a considerably larger database than Adheart.
