Proven SaaS alternative,
for $149 once instead of $97 a month.
Proven SaaS is a good way to see SaaS ads on Meta. SaaSpy shows the same SaaS plus the LinkedIn and Google spend they miss, and keeps 26 weeks of weekly ad counts on every business, so instead of finding one good ad, you can sort the whole market by who is scaling this month.

Where Proven SaaS shines
Proven SaaS pioneered the SaaS-MRR-from-ad-reach angle and has a clean library of SaaS advertising on Meta, and a bigger list of advertisers than ours. Their $10k/mo spend floor is a deliberate quality filter: everything you see there is a serious spender. If all you need is Facebook and Instagram ads from companies already at scale, it does that well.
Where SaaSpy wins
Meta is half the story: B2B SaaS hides on LinkedIn and a large share of spend is on Google, neither of which Proven SaaS shows. The bigger gap is time. SaaSpy keeps twenty-six weekly live-ad counts for every business in the corpus and grades each one (just started, scaling, holding, pulling back), so you can rank an entire sector by who is putting more money in this month. A library tells you an ad exists; a history tells you whether the niche is growing. And the SaaS spending $900 a month is the one a solo founder can actually out-execute, and it is exactly the one a $10k floor filters out.
How SaaSpy calls a direction, and why you can check it
Every business in the corpus carries twenty-six weekly counts of how many ads it had live. We average the last four weeks and compare that to the average of the eight before: recent enough to be news, long enough not to be one good week. Below five ads a week we call no direction at all, because a company going from one ad to three has tripled nothing; that leaves about a third of listings ungraded, which is the honest answer. Everything above the floor lands in one of seven states: just started, scaling, growing, holding, easing off, pulling back, or too quiet to call. You can see the inputs on every row, so you can disagree with the grade.
SaaSpy vs Proven SaaS: frequently asked
Is SaaSpy a Proven SaaS alternative?
Yes. SaaSpy covers the same SaaS-on-Meta ground and adds LinkedIn and Google ads where they run, the real creatives with days running, and twenty-six weeks of weekly ad counts on every business so you can see direction, not just a snapshot.
Does SaaSpy show LinkedIn and Google ads?
Yes. SaaSpy pulls the Meta, LinkedIn and Google ad libraries into one view, which is the main thing Meta-only tools miss.
Does SaaSpy estimate revenue like Proven SaaS?
Yes, as an honest banded range from real ad-reach data, with the method shown rather than a single invented number.
