Kaya

Kaya is a competitor ad intelligence platform that automates the collection and analysis of competitors' digital ads. It surfaces what campaigns are running, which creatives are performing, and the strategic patterns behind them. Built for startups and performance marketing teams, Kaya replaces messy manual research with a single dashboard of evidence-based insights. The platform works by letting you specify competitors, then automatically gathers their ads from Google, Meta, and LinkedIn. It tracks ad timing—launches, pauses, duration—along with associated landing pages and traffic distribution. Kaya analyzes positioning, audience targeting, promo patterns, and monthly ad volume, presenting everything in an ad gallery with search, save, and share capabilities. What sets Kaya apart is its focus on actionable strategy: it goes beyond just showing ads to revealing the targeted personas, best-performing creatives, and even underperforming ads. Boards let you organize intel, and suggested competitors expand your research scope. With a one-time Pro fee of $250 for 90 days of access on up to 6 competitors, it's a cost-effective alternative to ongoing subscriptions. Kaya is ideal for startups and agencies that need to move fast and be right. It's particularly valuable for teams lacking dedicated competitive intelligence resources, providing a structured, automated way to turn competitor data into a growth advantage. The platform is Y Combinator-backed and offers a free plan to get started.
