What Foreplay does well
Foreplay is a powerful platform trusted by 10,000+ teams. Here's an honest look at where it shines, and where it falls short.
✓ What Foreplay does well
- • Massive ad library: Discovery engine with 100M+ ads across Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn
- • Creative briefs: AI-assisted brief builder and storyboarding tools for production teams
- • Lens analytics: creative performance reporting linked to ad account data
- • Mobile app: save and browse ads on iOS and Android
✗ Where Foreplay falls short
- • Very expensive for teams: Basic is $49/mo for 1 user, a team of 5 costs $129/mo annually before any extras
- • No per-ad AI analysis: AI powers the discovery search, but won't analyse individual saved ads for hooks or copy frameworks
- • No A/B hypotheses from video: transcription is available but no actionable testing recommendations are generated
- • Per-seat add-on pricing: $20/user/mo on top of the base plan makes costs unpredictable as teams grow
Why SpreshApp is the better alternative
More than a swipe file, SpreshApp is an AI-powered creative intelligence platform built for Facebook advertisers who want depth, not just breadth.
Ads saved forever, no dead links
Foreplay uses standard cloud storage with no guarantees on link longevity. SpreshApp downloads and stores your ad creatives permanently in organised folders and tags, your swipe file stays intact for years.
AI analysis purpose-built for ad creatives
SpreshApp uses GPT-4 and Claude to analyse each saved ad individually, extracting hooks, copy frameworks, and winning patterns. Foreplay's AI is limited to its discovery search; it won't tell you why a specific ad works.
Turn video ads into testable hypotheses
SpreshApp extracts scroll-stopping reasons from video ads and generates prioritised A/B testing recommendations, so you know exactly what to test next. Foreplay transcribes video audio but stops there.
Chat with your ads using MCP
Connect Spreshapp to your favorite AI assistants (like Claude Desktop) using the Model Context Protocol. Query, search, and summarize your ad library using natural language.
