Minea pricing

Minea positions itself as the multi-platform ad-spy alternative to AdSpy, Foreplay and Atria - covering Meta, TikTok ads, TikTok Shop, Pinterest organic, and influencer search in a single tool. The pricing reflects that breadth: cheaper than AdSpy on a like-for-like basis but with more feature gating across tiers.

Free is a real but limited tier - useful for evaluating UX, useless for real research. Starter ($49/mo) unlocks the core Meta + TikTok ad libraries and is the cheapest viable paid tier. Premium ($99/mo) adds TikTok Shop, Pinterest, influencer search, and competitor landing-page analysis - the tier most paying customers land on. Business ($299/mo) is the team/agency tier with unlimited tracking and 10 user seats.

The 2026 changes from 2025 baseline: prices held mostly flat (Business moved from $279 to $299), TikTok Shop integration matured significantly, and the influencer search feature was bundled into Premium rather than sold as an add-on. See minea-pricing-2025 for the year-prior baseline.

Cross-context: if you're shopping ad-spy tools generally, minea-alternative and minea-vs-pipiads frame the competitive set. If you're TikTok-Shop specifically, Minea Premium is genuinely competitive with PipiAds.

Default recommendation: Premium at $99/mo. This is where most paying users land honestly. TikTok Shop and Pinterest libraries are increasingly important in 2026 - both are gated to Premium. The 250-advertiser tracking cap fits most DTC brands without constant rotation. AI insights are useful even if shallow.

Take Starter ($49) if: you're solo, you don't care about TikTok Shop or Pinterest, and you're tracking <50 advertisers. That's a real but narrow audience - mostly individual media buyers and consultants doing project-by-project research.

Take Business ($299) if: you're an agency with 5+ media buyers, you're tracking 250+ advertisers across multiple client books, or you need role-based permissions for client separation. The 10-seat allowance is the real value driver, not the unlimited tracking.

Skip Free entirely unless you're literally evaluating UX in a 10-minute demo. The 10-favourite cap and missing filters make it functionally useless for any actual research workflow.

vs. adspy-pricing-2026: AdSpy starts at $149/mo flat - more expensive than Minea Premium at $99 but with deeper Meta-specific search and historical depth. AdSpy wins on Meta depth and search precision; Minea wins on multi-platform coverage and price. Pick on whether Meta is your only channel or one of many.

vs. Foreplay: Foreplay starts at ~$59/mo and is more curation-focused (boards, briefs, swipe-files). Minea is more search-and-track focused. Many serious teams run both - Foreplay for inspiration boards, Minea or AdSpy for deeper search. See foreplay-deep-dive for the comparison context.

vs. PipiAds: PipiAds is TikTok-Shop-specialised at $77-263/mo. Minea Premium covers TikTok Shop as part of broader coverage. PipiAds wins if TikTok Shop is your only need; Minea wins if you want one tool for Meta + TikTok + TikTok Shop + Pinterest.

vs. Atria + Magic Brief stack: $99 + $49 = $148/mo combined for tracking + briefing. Minea Premium at $99/mo covers the tracking side but not the AI briefing layer. Pick based on whether briefing is core to your workflow.

The honest take: Minea's 2026 pricing is genuinely competitive. Premium tier at $99/mo is the best multi-platform ad-spy value if TikTok Shop or Pinterest matter to your business. For Meta-only research at scale, best-facebook-ad-spy-tool covers stronger options.

The most common upgrade trigger: hitting the TikTok Shop or Pinterest gate while on Starter. Founders sign up at $49, realise within a week that TikTok Shop ads aren't in their library, and either upgrade or churn. If TikTok Shop matters at all, skip Starter and go straight to Premium.

The second most common: advertiser tracking caps. 50 on Starter sounds like a lot but a serious agency burns through it tracking client competitors plus inspiration brands. Premium's 250 cap is the realistic floor for any team setting.

The annual prepay trap: the 20% annual discount is meaningful but the contract is genuinely 12 months. Don't take annual unless you're sure of 12 months of usage. Seasonal businesses (Q4-heavy DTC especially) should stay monthly even at the higher headline rate.

The team-seat math: if you have 4-5 people who need access, Premium's 3-user cap forces Business ($299). At that point evaluate whether 2x Premium accounts ($198) covers your access needs more cheaply - often it does for smaller teams.
