Dropshipping tools
Starting a dropshipping or e-commerce business can seem tedious, because there's so much to learn and so many products to choose from. How do you know which products to sell? How do you promote these products? How do you set up your store? These are just some of the difficulties you may encounter at the start of your business.
You may also feel that there's too much information available and it's hard to know where to start. However, if you don't want to waste your time or money on an activity that won't succeed, spy tools are the best solution. They can help you get started and make the most of your time.
In this article, we compare two of the best tools"Dropispy Vs Minea" to help you make the right choice for your business. Let's get started.
Is this the first time you've heard of Dropispy or Minea? No need to worry. In this section, we'll explain what they're for and who they're for.
Dropispy is a competitive intelligence tool that lets you spy on your competitors and find out what products they're promoting. It also helps you discover how they're marketing their products on Facebook. In short, with Dropispy you can see what your competitors are up to and learn from their strategies.
Finally, Dropsipy is a tool designed for dropshippers and e-tailers who only want to sell on Facebook.
Here are some key figures about Dropispy:

Minea is an advanced ad spy tool, thanks to the many features it offers. It is used by dropshippers, e-tailers and digital marketers alike. Unlike Dropispy, Minea isn't limited to Facebook. In fact, it lets you spy on the biggest social networks such as TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat and Facebook.
You can also analyze and track your competitors' stores, to find out what products and marketing strategies work for them. Let's take a look at some of Minea's key figures:

At last, you've familiarized yourself with the two tools that are the subject of this article. Now let's move on to the next step and examine the functionalities offered by each of them.
Let's take a look at each of the channels spied on by Minea:
Facebook is the world's largest information-sharing social network, with millions of active subscribers every day. What's more, thousands of dropshipping and e-commerce ads are posted there every day. Minea collects these ads and stores them in its database. So if you're thinking of finding products that work in your niche on Facebook, Minea has you covered:
TikTok, today's most popular short video-sharing social network, is also the target of many dropshippers and e-tailers. Minea also has a huge database of ads collected specifically on TikTok. Thanks to this data, you can find the ideal winning product to offer your audience on this social network.
It's the biggest social network for sharing visuals. Many people seeking inspiration go there to search for content. If you're thinking of targeting this social network, Minea is the solution for you. It spies on the ads available on Pinterest and stores them in its database so you can find the perfect visual product to offer.
Dropispy is an ad spy tool designed for collecting ads on the Facebook social network. If you want to find out which ads work best on other social networks, you should opt instead for an all-in-one spy tool like Minea.
In the following table, we'll compare the social networks spied by Minea and Dropispy that are useful for dropshippers and e-tailers.
{{minea-vs-dropispy01="/cms-component-links/cms-comparaison-app-vs-app-v2-0"}}
An analysis of this table, which highlights the social networks spied on, reveals that Minea spies on more channels essential to dropshippers and e-retailers than Dropispy.
In the rest of our analysis, we'll focus on the different search, sort and filter functions offered by each tool.
A search feature is a tool integrated into an adspy tool that allows users to search for products according to a specific criterion. In the table below, we'll analyze the most important search options for dropshippers and e-tailers included in both adspy tools.
{{minea-vs-dropispy02="/cms-component-links/cms-comparaison-app-vs-app-v2-0"}}
This table highlights the search options of the two spy tools.
Filtering and sorting features let you search by selecting several criteria at once. The more filters and sorts your tool offers, the faster you'll find the right product.
In the table below, we'll compare the two adspy tools"Dropispy Vs Minea" according to some important filters and sorts.
{{minea-vs-dropispy03="/cms-component-links/cms-comparaison-app-vs-app-v2-0"}}
From the analysis of this table, we can deduce that of the filter and sort options selected, the most important options are available on both tools. We can therefore deduce that both tools are capable of allowing you to filter ad results to optimize your results.
Let's take a look at the information that accompanies the ads collected by each adspy tool.
Ad information plays a very important role in choosing the winning product. It allows you to evaluate the ad's performance, particularly its engagement on social networks. By taking this information into account, you'll know whether it's worth testing a product in your market or not.
In the following table, we'll compare Minea and Dropispy based on the information dropshippers look for most in their ads:
{{minea-vs-dropispy04="/cms-component-links/cms-comparaison-app-vs-app-v2-0"}}
After analyzing the information provided by the two tools, we can see that both give us enough information about the ads to enable us to make a good winning product choice. However, Minea takes the upper hand in a few areas, providing more information.
Ad volume means the quantity of ads collected by the tool when spying on its various platforms or social networks. When your tool has a large ad base, you're more likely to find the ideal product according to your various search criteria, and to spy on the market effectively.
Minea spies on more than 4 social networks, including Facebook. Dropispy, on the other hand, only spies on the Facebook social network. For this reason, we're going to concentrate solely on the Facebook social network and carry out an effective test.
The aim of this test will be to apply search filters to the tools in order to measure the capacity of their ad library. The tool that obtains the highest number of results for this targeted search can be considered as the tool with the largest ad volume or ad database. Here are the important filters we'll be considering in this test:
When we apply these different filters simultaneously on Minea, we get 260 results. This means that over the last 30 days, Minea has collected 360 ads that meet the criteria we listed above. It's also important to understand that these selection criteria are highly selective, and we've chosen to use them to better judge a tool's ability. Otherwise, with slightly broader filters, we would have had several thousand ads.
If we use the same filters on Dropispy, we find that the tool only provides us with 300 ads, a slight difference. We can't say that this difference is significant, as the data are fairly similar on the 2 tools.

If you've managed to find your winning product, the next step is to find a supplier. This is a very important step, but one that is an obstacle for most dropshippers.
Aware of this, Minea has implemented a very interesting feature based on Artificial Intelligence. Thanks to this feature, you can find quality suppliers on AliExpress for any product with just one click. All you need is the product image, and Minea suggests suppliers based on their rating, product price and much more.
And that's not all: thanks to the same technology, you can edit your product, its description and select the best reviews beforeimporting itdirectly into your Shopify store. So you can save time and manage all your activities from a single platform.
The Minea store analysis tool lets you explore the world of competitive strategy in depth. Thanks to this advanced feature, you can study your competitors to discover the tactics that are causing a stir in the marketplace. Featuring powerful filters, this revolutionary tool lets you customize your searches according to criteria you define yourself.
Imagine being able to spy on your competitors' moves, understand their tricks and spot the flaws in their game. That's exactly what Minea offers. Not only can you detect your competitors' product placements, you can also analyze over 1 million stores.
And that's not all, Minea's store analysis function also lets you track sales, top products and sales estimates of competing stores. In fact, it gives you everything you need to succeed.
Once on the Dropispy dashboard, you'll find a list of dropshipping stores in its database. You can sort these results by Alexa ranking (global or US only), domain, platform and store type. You can also sort in ascending or descending order.
However, not all domains and subdomains listed in the store results are dropshipping stores. You should therefore use the filters correctly and do your due diligence when searching for any of these websites.
In addition to the functions listed above, Minea has other very important features that you won't find on other adspy tools. Let's take a look at a few of them:
You won't find this feature anywhere else in Minea. Indeed, influencer marketing is proving to be a powerful tactic in the marketing world, where companies leverage the expertise and notoriety of influencers. They do this to promote their products or services.
By partnering with experts and celebrities in their respective fields, you can reach a wider audience and increase your sales very quickly. Minea allows you to find over a million influencers with whom you can collaborate in your niche.

In dropshipping or e-commerce, the sooner you detect a product before your competitors do, the more sales you'll make. The ads collected by Minea in the Starter and Premium plans are ads that are already working and to which many dropshippers or e-tailers like you have access.
You'll certainly make sales with these products, but the special thing about this function is that you get access to the product before anyone else. This function tracks products and adds them to its database when it believes the product has a better chance of success. This is a great advantage for your business, as you won't have to test a product, but will launch sales automatically.
This feature is very useful for dropshippers and e-tailers who want to dispense with the product search process and get straight to the point. With this Minea feature, you'll have direct access to a list of the 100 lesser-known winning products that are gaining momentum on social networks. What's more, for each product you'll have access to detailed information, the stores already selling it and the target markets.
Among adspy tools, Minea stands out for its many surprising features. The brand-new " Magic search " is particularly interesting. It lets you take the temperature of the market in relation to a specific product.
Following a product search, you can find out who your direct competitors are who are already selling the same product on the market. With Minea's Magic Search tool, this task is just a click away.
Simply search for the name of the product you want to spy on, and the tool automatically provides you with all the ads currently running on the various social networks for that product.
Don't have enough time to search Minea's ad database for a winning product? No problem, this tab is the solution for you. The"Top 10 products of the day"tab is where Minea collects the winning products of the day.
The best part is that you can access 10 winning products on different social networks such as: Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest. It's all done for you in advance. You can then analyze the information available on the ad and import it directly into your store.
