# Savepad as a Foreplay alternative

If paid social creative is your whole job, Foreplay is probably the better tool. It tracks competitors' ads, searches millions of ads you've never seen, and writes briefs for your team. Savepad does none of that. It keeps the ad and the landing page, the email and the onboarding flow, all in one place that's yours.

*Savepad and Foreplay, side by side*

## Where Foreplay wins

- **Finding ads you never saw.** Foreplay searches a massive library of live ads. Savepad only knows what you saved.
- **Tracking competitors.** Foreplay watches your competitors' ads and flags new ones. Savepad doesn't go looking for things on its own.
- **Tools for ad teams.** Briefs, storyboards, creative reports and seats for the whole team. If your team ships ads every week, that matters.

## Where Savepad wins

- **More than ads.** Landing pages, emails, onboarding flows, PDFs, podcasts and screenshots you can search. Ads are one of 17 save types.
- **No AI.** Foreplay leans on AI for analysis and briefs. Savepad just saves your stuff and lets you do the thinking.
- **Made for one person.** No seats, no admin. Your library, your taste, and a public page if you want to show it off.
- **Price.** Foreplay starts at $49 a month. Savepad is free for 150 saves, then €4.99 or €9.99 a month.

If the ad is just one part of what you save, and you want the page, the email and everything else in the same place.

### Moving over

Put your links in a CSV, one URL per row is enough, and import it. Savepad fetches every link again and makes a fresh preview.
