Elixon vs AdLibrary
A billion-ad archive on credits vs curated, scored intelligence with production built in.
AdLibrary (adlibrary.com) sells search across what it describes as over a billion ads on Meta, Google, YouTube, TikTok, X and more, priced in euros on a credit system, with a Chrome extension on every plan and full API and MCP access for AI tools on its Business tier. Elixon does not try to be the biggest archive: it tracks the competitors you name on Meta and Instagram, scores their organic posts and ads by engagement, and produces new creative from the evidence.

- You track competitors' organic posts as well as their ads
- You want to produce finished creative — images, video, UGC — from what you find

Choose AdLibrary if:

- You have a team that needs unlimited seats
- You run Google, YouTube or TikTok research today
Our take
AdLibrary is the archive and the data feed: enormous scale, every major platform, and an API for teams that build their own tooling. Elixon is the workflow: watch the competitors that matter on Meta and Instagram, see which posts earn engagement, and make the next ad in the same place. If you need scale and an API, AdLibrary; if you need to decide what to make next and then make it, Elixon.
Frequently asked questions
As an archive, yes — AdLibrary's stated billion-plus ads across many platforms is far larger than anything Elixon stores. Elixon is deliberately curated: it monitors the handles you choose on Meta and Instagram and scores every post, so you see what is working rather than everything that ran.
AdLibrary's Starter is €29/mo for 50 credits; the API, MCP and unlimited seats sit on the €329/mo Business plan. Elixon's Starter is $59/mo with every feature, and the $10 pay-as-you-go pack is the cheapest way into either tool. Prices as shown on the vendor's pricing page, 6 October 2026.
Not today. Elixon is a workflow tool with a built-in AI assistant; if you need raw ad data in your own systems, AdLibrary's Business plan provides API and MCP access.
