Hooksy's cons are mostly about access and clarity. Free use is limited to a few searches after sign-in, Brand Spy tracks only 3, 20 or 50 brands by plan, subscriptions renew automatically, and the billing period behind the displayed prices ($9.50, 24.5 USD, 49.5 USD) is not confirmed. There is also no separate pricing page.
Neither listed alternative is an ad library. Jasper is an AI content platform for marketing teams with brand voice controls and agents; it has no free plan, and Pro is $59 per seat per month billed annually ($708 per seat per year), with 2 Brand Voices. Canva is a design platform with templates and AI tools for graphics, social posts and video, with a free plan and Pro at $144 per person per year, with monthly billing also offered. Use them to make ads, and keep Hooksy or a similar tool if browsing and saving competitor ads is the job.
