Both Public Sources
Creative Center's Top Ads and the Commercial Content Library get read in the same run, so what you compare is everything TikTok makes public rather than whichever page you happened to open.
See which competitor ads have been running longest — the nearest thing to a public signal that a creative is earning its budget.
TikTok publishes advertising in two places and neither lets you line them up: Creative Center surfaces the ads it rates highly, and the Commercial Content Library carries what disclosure rules require. AllyHub reads both into one sortable table, carrying the dates that show how long each creative has stayed live, and needs neither a login nor a line of code to do it.
Creative Center's Top Ads and the Commercial Content Library get read in the same run, so what you compare is everything TikTok makes public rather than whichever page you happened to open.
Each ad carries the date it was first seen and the date it was last seen, which turns a list of creatives into a list you can sort by staying power.
The video and images an ad ran with come back alongside its cover frame, so a swipe file builds itself instead of you screenshotting one ad at a time.
TikTok's own estimated audience figure comes through, together with the ad type and its review status — the platform's read on scale and standing, not a number anyone modelled.
Search by advertiser to see one competitor's whole run, or by keyword to see everyone bidding on the same idea, and the batch comes back in one table.
Export the set, then store the run so next month's check picks up whatever appeared since — and put the two side by side when you want to see what they quietly killed.
From an advertiser name to a sortable TikTok ads table in three steps.
Give AllyHub a brand, a keyword, or a category, and say whether you want Top Ads, the Ads Library, or both.
It returns the advertiser, the creative and its cover frame, first and last seen dates, estimated audience, ad type, and review status for every ad in range.
Rank by how long each ad has been live, pull the creatives worth studying, or save the run as a Playbook for a monthly sweep.
Anyone can look at a competitor's ads. Knowing which ones survived is the part that tells you something.
A brand running forty creatives tells you they're testing. The three still live after two months tell you what passed the test. Sorting by duration leaves you the shortlist their own media team already validated with budget.

Top Ads shows what TikTok chose to feature; the Commercial Content Library shows what regulation obliged them to publish. One gives you a curated view and the other a raw one, and a competitor's picture only holds together when both are in the same table.

Spend isn't published, and neither is the landing page, the engagement, or the geography an ad ran in. Those aren't in what TikTok makes public, so nothing reading these libraries can hand them to you. What you get is what the page itself shows, no login required.

The first run maps how both libraries lay out their results. Your AllyHub never starts from scratch again, so a monthly check on the same advertiser set is a re-run rather than a rebuild, and it gets faster every time.

Media buyers, competitive intelligence, agencies pitching, and compliance teams who need a competitor's ads on record.
You're briefing a new creative round and starting from opinions about what works. Pull the ads that have stayed live in your category, study the openings and the offers, and brief against evidence somebody else paid to gather.
A competitor changed their message and you noticed from a customer call. Sweep their advertising monthly, see what went live and what stopped, and read the strategy shift before it reaches your pipeline.
The pitch needs a slide on what the prospect's category is doing in ads, and you have three days. Pull the advertiser set, sort by run length, and build the argument on what's live rather than on what you remember seeing.
A rival's ad makes a claim you doubt they can support, and by the time anyone checks it's gone. Capture the creative with its first and last seen dates attached, and keep a dated record rather than a screenshot with no provenance.

Sources, fields, and the things ad libraries never show.
It collects the advertising a platform is obliged to make public and returns it as records you can sort. AllyHub covers both TikTok surfaces — the Creative Center's Top Ads and the Commercial Content Library — with the creative, the dates, and the audience estimate attached.
Yes — one advertiser lookup is free. Category-wide sweeps across both libraries, monthly repeat runs, before-and-after comparison, and bulk export sit on the paid tiers.
No. TikTok doesn't publish what an advertiser spent, and the same goes for the landing page, the engagement numbers, and the countries an ad ran in. Anything offering you those on TikTok is estimating, and this page would rather tell you that than sell you a modelled figure.
The video and images the ad ran with, plus the cover frame TikTok displays in the library listing — enough to build a swipe file you can look through and study, rather than a column of links you still have to open one by one.
CSV, xlsx, or JSON, whichever your team opens first, with the creative references held alongside the record so the file stays usable away from the browser.
Most read one library, present a browse-only wall of creatives, and quietly model the numbers the platform withholds. AllyHub reads both, hands you the dates that let you rank by survival, says plainly what isn't published, and returns the same table each month without you rebuilding the request.
