Is there a free BigSpy alternative?

looot has no monthly seat. You pay per call to the provider you pick, and the catalog shows each endpoint's price before you run it. Whether that comes out cheaper than BigSpy depends on your volume.

What does BigSpy cost?

List prices change, so check BigSpy's own pricing page. This page does not repeat them. The looot side is read live from the catalog on the web version of this page.

What is a good BigSpy alternative for an AI agent?

An agent with a looot connection can call the providers behind BigSpy's data jobs directly. The providers used here are adyntel, apify.

Which BigSpy features does looot not cover?

Not covered: large stored ad archive, spend and engagement estimates, saved boards. Keep BigSpy for those, or use another tool beside looot.

How do I replace BigSpy with looot?

Paste the agent prompt on this page into your coding agent. It sets up looot, finds the endpoints for each job and runs them. You can edit the prompt to match your own inputs.

Do I need a BigSpy account to use looot?

No. looot calls its own providers and does not connect to your BigSpy account. Your existing BigSpy data stays where it is.

Ask your agent

Paste one prompt to replace BigSpy

Your agent reads the looot setup file once, then runs the jobs below and shows each price first.

Prompt to replace BigSpy

Use looot to search public ad libraries for a keyword and list the advertisers, ad copy and creative links, grouped by advertiser. If you have not yet, set up https://looot.ai/skill.md first. Then search the looot catalog for each step, check the price of each endpoint before you call it, run the cheapest one that fits, and show me the results as a table.

Setup

One prompt, one price, one ledger

The same three steps every looot agent follows.

Paste one prompt into your agent

Set up looot

Done, looot is connected.

Copy one prompt from /connect into Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP agent. No SDK, no dashboard click-through first.

Your agent finds the right operation

Hunter$0.0265

Exa$0.0090

You watch what it cost

Hunter$0.0265

Exa$0.0090

Diffbot$0.0032

Total$0.0387

Every call settles for its quoted price and lands in the ledger. You always know what ran and what it cost.
