Competitor And Customer Research Tools
See What They Run And What Buyers Say
For Anyone Who Wants Evidence Before They Write An Ad Or A Landing Page.
These tools are for marketers and founders who are about to write ads, a landing page or an offer, and want evidence first.
Good ads come from two sources: what buyers say about the problem in their own words, and what competitors already say to them. One tool here finds the first on Reddit, with a link to every thread; the other opens the second in the ad libraries the platforms publish.
The Research Tools
Describe what you sell and see the problems, objections and exact phrases real customers post on Reddit, each linked to its thread, with ad angles built from them.
Needs a work email and your own OpenRouter account. A search usually costs 5 to 20 cents.
Enter a competitor and open their live ads on Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok and Microsoft, with a worksheet for what to note in each.
Needs the competitor’s name; their website helps. Free with a work email.

Which Tool To Use First
Reddit Customer Voice Finder
Start with the buyer: describe what you sell and read the problems, objections and exact phrases people post, each linked to its thread.
Competitor Ad Finder
Then see how competitors answer them: open their live ads on each platform, and fill in the worksheet as you read.
FAQ
What people ask about the research tools.
Where does the information come from?
From public sources. The Competitor Ad Finder opens the libraries the ad platforms publish themselves: the Google Ads Transparency Center, the Meta Ad Library for Facebook and Instagram, and the LinkedIn, TikTok and Microsoft ad libraries. The Reddit Customer Voice Finder searches Reddit and links every finding to its thread, so you can read the original post.
Why can’t I find a competitor’s ads?
Usually because they advertise under a different name: a legal company name, a parent brand or a page name. Try their website, pick their page from the library’s suggestions, and try a different country. It can also mean they are not running ads on that platform right now.
What if Reddit has nothing about what I sell?
The tool says so and shows nothing as a finding. Every problem, objection and phrase it shows is linked to the thread it came from.
Are the research tools free?
Yes. A work email opens every free tool on the site, and you give it once. Personal mailboxes are not accepted. The Competitor Ad Finder costs nothing more. The Reddit Customer Voice Finder uses AI models on your own OpenRouter account, and a search usually costs 5 to 20 cents, paid to OpenRouter; groas adds nothing on top.
