Elixon vs AdEye
Google ad intelligence vs Meta and Instagram intelligence — different channels, different tools.
AdEye is a Google-only ad spy tool: it searches the Google Ads Transparency Center by brand or domain, tags each creative with its hook, angle and format, shows how long each ad has run, and keeps a swipe file with CSV export — the same feed on every paid plan, priced by searches per month. Elixon works on Meta and Instagram, tracking competitors' organic posts and ads, scoring them by engagement, and producing new creative from what works.

Our take
There is little overlap. AdEye is a focused, fairly priced tool for Google ad research with useful AI tags and run-length data. Elixon is the equivalent — plus organic tracking, engagement scoring and creative production — for Meta and Instagram. Brands that advertise on both channels can reasonably run both.
Frequently asked questions
No. AdEye's pricing page states it searches the Google Ads Transparency Center only, using public ad-library data. Elixon covers Meta and Instagram and does not cover Google.
AdEye starts at $60/mo for 500 searches with no trial. Elixon's Starter is $59/mo with a 14-day trial, and the $10 pay-as-you-go pack is available before any subscription. Prices as shown on the vendor's pricing page, 6 October 2026.
