Foreplay is the best-known creative research tool in performance marketing, and deservedly so: a 100M+ ad library, 24/7 competitor tracking with Spyder, a swipe file your whole team can organise, and briefs that turn inspiration into a storyboard. What it is not is a performance tool. It does not connect to your ad accounts to pull live spend, ROAS or frequency, so it cannot tell you that your own best ad is fatiguing right now. AdFire does exactly that and nothing else. These are complements, not substitutes: Foreplay for what to make next, AdFire for what to fix today.
Common questions
AdFire is built for both Meta and Google Ads, while most competitors focus on one platform. AdFire's daily brief surfaces 2 to 4 prioritized recommendations every morning, not just raw data. And it reads your creatives visually, not only their numbers.
