Foreplay

Foreplay is an ad workflow platform for saving creative inspiration, tracking competitors, analyzing ad performance, and sharing reports with teams or clients. It offers a 7-day free trial and paid plans for individuals, teams, agencies, and enterprise buyers.

Foreplay

Overview

Foreplay is a creative workflow platform for ad teams that combines inspiration saving, competitor research, creative analytics, briefing, and sharing in one place. The site positions it as a way to move from ad discovery to reporting without stitching together separate tools and spreadsheets.

Its core workflow covers saving ads from major ad libraries, searching a large community ad library, analyzing creative performance in Lens, and presenting results through shareable reports and briefs. The product is aimed at performance marketers, creative teams, and agencies that need to organize ad references, review results, and communicate around what is working.

Core capabilities

Ad saving and organization

Save ads from Meta Ad Library, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, and Google Transparency Center, then organize them in folders, boards, tags, and ratings for later reference.

Discovery and inspiration search

Search the community library of over 200,000,000 saved ads and browse expert-curated swipe files to discover reference material faster.

Creative analytics and reporting

Use Lens to build segmented, white-labeled creative reports, compare performance by group, and share them through external links.

Competitor tracking with Spyder

Track competitors with Spyder, including competitor ad history, media mix analysis, creative tests, landing page insights, and top-performing hooks.

Briefing and production workflows

Turn research into production assets with briefs, storyboard tools, AI scene iterations, script generation, and asset collection.

Multi-channel access

Access the workflow across browser, mobile app, and API, with support for a Chrome extension and agent-friendly API access.

Common workflows

  • Build a reusable swipe file

    Capture ads from Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, or the browser extension, then save them into folders, boards, tags, and ratings so references stay organized for later review.

  • Find inspiration for new creative

    Search the community library and expert swipe files to find examples, patterns, and ads that can guide creative direction for a campaign or brief.

  • Report on creative performance

    Use Lens to segment results, compare reports, and share white-labeled views with clients or internal stakeholders when the team needs a clear read on what is driving performance.

  • Study competitors and market patterns

    Use Spyder and discovery tools to monitor competitors, review ad history, and identify top hooks, tests, and trends in a market.

  • Turn research into production assets

    Create briefs, storyboard assets, and script outputs from research so creatives can move from insight to production without scattering context across separate tools.
