View on GitHubWhat Denote does well
Denote is a solid ad swipe and competitor intelligence tool. Here's an honest look at where it shines, and where it falls short.
✓ What Denote does well
- • Broad platform support: saves ads from Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Google in one place
- • Competitor ad spy: track competitor brands and surface their ad spend, top creatives, and landing pages
- • 2M+ ad library: built-in inspiration library with performance metrics and downloadable creatives
- • Ads never expire: saved creatives are stored permanently and can be downloaded at any time
✗ Where Denote falls short
- • No real free trial: only a 12-hour refund window after payment, you have to pay before you can properly evaluate it
- • Expensive solo access: the $19/mo Lite plan is severely limited, one ad spy account and a restricted ad library
- • No video analysis or A/B hypotheses: the AI reports on visuals and copy but doesn't generate actionable next steps for testing
- • No MCP or deep AI integration: no way to query your swipe file through Claude or any external AI tool
Why SpreshApp is the better alternative
More than a swipe file, SpreshApp is an AI-powered creative intelligence platform built for performance marketers running ads on Facebook, TikTok, and Google.
Save ads from Facebook, TikTok, and Google forever
SpreshApp downloads and stores your ad creatives from Facebook, TikTok, and Google/YouTube permanently in organised folders. Your swipe file stays intact for years, with no expiring links and no restricted access based on your plan tier.
Analyse every saved ad with Claude, not a black-box model
SpreshApp uses Claude to analyse each saved ad individually, extracting hooks, copy frameworks, scroll-stopping reasons, and generating prioritised A/B testing action items. Denote's AI reports on visuals and copy but doesn't give you the actionable creative intelligence that Claude does.
Collaborate with shareable swipe files, all seats included
Save winning ads into folders and share them with your team or clients in one click. All seats are included in the Growth plan at $19/mo, no $10 per-seat add-ons. Build a living swipe file organized by campaign, niche, or creative style.
Turn saved ads into new creatives with Creative Playground
Drag your saved ads, images, and text prompts onto a visual canvas. SpreshApp's AI generates new ad variations in square, story, or banner format so your research becomes your next winning creative. Denote's AI Ad Maker doesn't offer this level of creative control.
Chat with your saved ads using Claude MCP
Connect SpreshApp to Claude Desktop using the Model Context Protocol. Query, search, and summarize your entire ad library using natural language. Denote offers no external AI integration, your swipe file stays locked inside their dashboard.

Does SpreshApp's AI analysis compare to Denote AI?
Does SpreshApp's AI analysis compare to Denote AI?
SpreshApp uses Claude, one of the most capable AI models available, to analyse every saved ad individually. It extracts hooks, copy frameworks, scroll-stopping reasons, and generates prioritised A/B testing action items. Denote uses a proprietary model with less transparency about what it actually tells you.
What is Creative Playground and does Denote have it?
What is Creative Playground and does Denote have it?
Creative Playground is SpreshApp's visual canvas for generating new ad variations. Drag your saved ads, images, and text prompts onto the canvas and AI generates new creatives in square, story, or banner format. Denote has an AI Ad Maker, but it lacks the drag-and-drop canvas and the depth of variation generation SpreshApp offers.
Which platforms does SpreshApp support for saving ads?
Which platforms does SpreshApp support for saving ads?
SpreshApp supports Facebook/Meta, TikTok, and Google/YouTube. Denote supports more platforms including LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Instagram. If those extra platforms are critical for your workflow, Denote may be worth considering, but for Facebook and TikTok focused teams, SpreshApp offers more analysis depth at a lower price.
Can I chat with my saved ads on SpreshApp?
Can I chat with my saved ads on SpreshApp?
Yes. SpreshApp includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects your saved ad library to Claude Desktop. You can query, search, and summarize your swipe file using natural language. Denote offers no equivalent.
