Expensive + Limited. Dont waste your money.
I thought I would check out this tool. Essentially, it only reveals PPC ads based on the keywords and location you enter. You can't reveal PPC ads using a URL like you can with Spyfu. They have another tool called PPCRush.ai with more features, but they've kept those separate from this tool and the AppSumo community, which is strange and disappointing.
To simply reveal ads, you're better off using Spyfu's free version, where you can enter any site link and see if that company is running ads. This tool lacks additional data like Spyfu offers—for example, you can’t see how much a business is spending on ads, historical charts showing ad performance per competitor, or CPC rates per keyword for example.
Also, revealing ads with this tool takes a week; it’s not immediate like Spyfu. It’s missing too many features to justify its price.
I don’t recommend this tool because it’s too limited, and you can reveal ads for free using Spyfu. You might try it once, but you probably won’t use it again due to these limitations.

Thank you for your very thorough assessment. Also appreciate your call out to users to give PPCReveal a try.
You are right, there are striking differences between PPCReveal.ai and Spyfu. We were using Spyfu ourselves for some years and found it limiting for our needs to manage local ads, hence PPCReveal was developed for our in-house need.
PPCReveal.ai was never created to compete head-to-head with giants like Spyfu.
Our core competency is local service businesses and we knew that the historical data from Spyfu was never relevant by the time you actually start setting up the campaigns. We needed real-time data to answer "who is running the ads right now in my market for the "near me" keywords at this time?" Local ads are very sensitive to seasonality, location, time of the day, distance from the business location etc and historical data from Spyfu consistenly missed the mark and derailed our campaigns.
The reason PPCReveal reporting takes time is because it is live reporting of the ads for your chosen location settings and keywords, exactly as it might appear for any user doing it manually on Google Search.
As the results are generated in real-time and not from an already existing databse, we cannot offer it for free like Spyfu.
Again, we do appreciate you giving it a try.
