WinningHunter: find products through what's being advertised

WinningHunter tracks ads that are getting traction on Facebook and TikTok. It links each ad to the product and store behind it. It also has a product database and store tracking, so you can follow a product from the ad to the store.

Best for: dropshippers who haven't picked a product yet and want to see what's being pushed with real ad spend right now.

Watch out for: the entry plan doesn't include TikTok ads. Store revenue numbers are estimates, so use them to compare stores, not as exact figures.

ShopHunter: see what competitors actually sell

ShopHunter tracks sales activity at Shopify stores. Add a competitor and you'll see which products sell, how many, and which variants do best. It also has a daily leaderboard of the top stores.

Best for: sellers who already know their niche and want to see exactly what's working for competitors.

Watch out for: there's no ad spy. It shows what sells, not how it's being advertised.
