8 best Push notification ad spy tools + 1 closed
Let’s take a step back and say a few words about push ads spy tools and why you need them.
If you know everything from A to Z, jump straight to the list of top push spy tools. Spoiler: there are some services for monitoring other ad formats, not necessarily push notifications.
What is an affiliate marketing spy tool?
A spy tool (aka spy tool service) allows you to spy on your competitors’ ad campaigns launched in a specific ad network or traffic source. In other words, it is a base of all ads that are currently run on Facebook, push ads, pops, etc.
Spy services help you understand what’s in the top right now, spy on creatives and landing pages, and help you see campaign settings.
One of the great possibilities spy tools give you is that you can download banners and landing pages for your advertising purposes.
We do not recommend copying ads and run them without any changes. Why? Find the explanation below.
How to search for ads in a push ads spy tool?
Let’s say a few words about the correct search algorithm in spy tools. In order to succeed in finding the best ad campaigns, you need to know some features.
The algorithm described below will help you find the most popular creatives and see which offer or brand converts better.
Use keywords in English to see ads in all languages. But this rule won’t work in some free spy tools, so use the keyword in the native language to check all available results.
As an example, we will show you a search process in the Adplexity spy tool service. We will search for the best antivirus ad campaigns in the RichAds (formerly RichPush) advertising network.
What are search parameters essential to set?
- Period of an ad campaign
Put a period of time from 3 days to 2 weeks or a month. Thus, you will cut off campaigns that were tested for a day or two and were turned off as unprofitable.
This limitation also helps to remove campaigns that have been running too long. Most likely, they have already skimmed the cream in this ad network.
- The amount of received traffic
Select the “Received Most Traffic” setting. The amount of traffic that the offer receives is one of the critical parameters you need to pay attention to.
Choose the 5 best examples, save creatives and landing pages, check the settings for these campaigns. Analyzing all of this data will be most beneficial for your launch.
How to spy on push ads properly?
Spy tools allow you to download ready-made creative and landing pages and launch your campaign immediately. But is this practice profitable? At first glance, yes: you know that these creatives are collecting traffic. They have not been deactivated, which means that the campaign is profitable.
But let’s look at it from the perspective of a potential audience. A person who is subscribed to a push ad network receives regular push notifications from that network. The more often they see the same push ad, the more indifferent they become. Or it may even become annoying: “I don’t want to see it anymore”.
How can an affiliate marketer deal with this? Take ideas from a spy service, but modify them slightly. This applies to both creative and landing pages. You can use similar images, change the copy slightly. The main thing is not to use exactly the same ones.
And of course, one of the rules of success for push notifications is to update creatives from time to time, even if they convert well. Use different approaches to not miss a potential audience, try different tricks.

🔼 Direct click traffic,
🔝 CPM for domain ads starts from $1.5,
⏫ CPC for push ads starts from $0.005,
🔼 CPM for pops — from $0.5 in Tier 3, $1 in Tier 1,

3. SpyPush
- Ad formats: push, pop, native, non-mainstream.
- Costs: $49 a month. Trial period is available.
- Push ad networks: RichAds, PropellerAds, ClickStar, Push.House, Adsterra, Trending Bid, AdMaven, Daopush, Evadav.
SpyPush is the third-largest push notification spy tool. It offers over 2 million push ads across the 9 largest push ads networks. It gives access to advertising from 95 countries – so far, this is a record among spy tools for push ads.
Landing pages and creatives are ready to be downloaded in one click.
What filters are available in this spy tool:
- Country,

- Active or inactive ads,
- Operating system,
- Tracker.
This spy tool has a free trial, but the most popular filters are disabled in it. Even after that, you still have an opportunity to filter different countries and download creatives.
If we consider making the top three, then SpyPush has the longest list of available countries.
The leader in the number of available ads is Anstrex.
But technical targets and campaign launch conditions are the widest in Adplexity.
4. Mobidea push spy tool
- Ad formats: push, native.
- Costs: $ 89.99 a month. Probably there is a trial period (but we are not sure). COMBO – push + native =$139.99 MONTHLY
- Push ad networks: 40 ad networks, and RichAds among them!
- Advertisers: 30,000+
The advertising network Mobidea launched its own spy tool, which may bet the leaders of this list. This spy tool for push ads contains more than 19 million ads from 92 countries!
What is good about the service? Of course, there is an option to download landing pages, ads can be divided into mobile and desktop campaigns. It also provides information about CPC bids in real time!
But the most valuable feature in this spy tool is the data about which source of push traffic works best with a particular offer.
The service description says that there is a free trial, but we could not use it. Perhaps the offer was limited in time, or the information on the site’s pop-up is already out of date.
5. Megaspy
- Ad format: push.
- Costs: free.
- Push ad networks: Megapush and Datspush.
- The service doesn’t have an English interface.
Megaspy is a new push ad monitoring service that is still in the process of beta-testing. So far, only 2 ad networks are available: Megapush and Datspush, but there will be much more of them soon, according to the creators. As for the countries, there are about 100 available geos.
This push notifications spy tool has Russian interface as the previous one.
But you can search by title, description using keys in English, search by link, setting the launch date, and the number of ad impressions, which is already pretty good.
The guys actively communicate with customers in the chat and ask for suggestions for improvements. It is possible that in a couple of years, the service may become a serious competitor to the “oldies”, especially if the creators will listen to affiliates.
6. Pushycat
- Ad format: push ads.
- Costs: $40 or $80 per month, $190 for 3 months.
- Push ad networks: Megapush, Datspush, Propellerads, Evadav, PushAds.
- The service doesn’t have an English interface.
Pushycat is an independent service from Russia. Unfortunately, but it has a Russian interface only. This tool is focused on spy push ads. The service scans 6 popular ad networks and 16 GEOs (Europe, CIS).
Countries available: Spain, Ukraine, Thailand, Poland, Italy, France, Great Britain, Germany, Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, Russia, Czech Republic, Latvia, Turkey, Netherlands, Serbia. The service is still growing and adds new geos from time to time.
So far, there are not enough filters in this service but remember it is absolutely free push ads spy tool. Well, you won’t find indicators of the popularity of the push campaign and for how long it was running. There are no extended statistics for advertising campaigns either.
So far, this is just a showcase where you can view and download creatives and landings. Not bad, but it can be better.
7. Adperiscope

Spy tools that have stopped working
PUSH.CPA.RIP – R.I.P for one of the promising spy tools
- Ad format: push.
- Costs: free.
- Push ad networks: DatsPush, MegaPush, Adsterra, Evadav, Propellerads, Tranding bid, Mgid.
PUSH.CPA.RIP is the first free push traffic spy tool in our list.
As a rule, free tools have a much more modest set of tools than paid ones. But the PUSH.CPA.RIP service looks very decent.
It offers a search in 7 push ads networks in various geos. In the spy tool, you can analyze ads sorting by country, ad network, device type, as well as the date when the ad was first shown. Search by a link, or a key is not available.
What the PUSH.CPA.RIP service allows:
- download pictures and icons in one click,
- watch landing pages (downloading features are not allowed yet).
Considering that you can get all this information for free and without annoying ads, the service seems to be worthwhile.
