Adbeat has a variety of plans, all with different options.  In this article we’ll go over the most popular plans and focus on which use-cases they’re designed for.

Adbeat Free Tools

Best for: doing basic or preliminary research on display and native advertisers.

Adbeat’s Free Tools are perfect for doing preliminary research on display and native advertisers.  Using the Free Tools, you’re able to see how active an advertiser is, the ad channels they’re using (Direct, Native, Programmatic), and how many publisher sites they’re advertising on.  Plus, you can see dozens of ad creatives — all for the low, low price of free!

Adbeat Standard Plan

Best for: small advertisers and publishers.

Using Adbeat Standard you’ll be able to see how advertisers and ads are performing over time.  Every ad creative is available to view at full-size and the powerful keyword search will allow you to discover new ads, advertisers, and publishers that you just can’t access from within the Free Tools.  This means you’ll be able to dig deeper and see more advertisers, ads, and publishers.  Historical data is also increased to 90 days; this additional look-back window allows you to see more significant trends.  Feature-wise, Standard also adds the ability to create & export reports in two formats: CSV and PDF.

Adbeat Enterprise Plan

Best for: large advertisers and publishers, digital agencies, and ad networks.

Adbeat’s Enterprise Plan builds upon the popular Advanced plan by adding estimated Ad Spend for all advertisers.  It also extends Adbeat’s feature-set by adding the ability to browse by categories/industry and view performance of grouped ad sets in the Campaign view.  You’re also able to see Pre-roll Video ads and access 2 years of historical data. Besides advanced reporting and ad tags, a key feature is the ability to set Smart Alerts.  Smart Alerts allow you to be alerted via email when an advertiser has spent a significant amount of money on a new creative, publisher, or ad network.  Smart Alerts make it easy to keep tabs on a set of competitors or prospective client.
