Both come with your account at Lite, and both have a Pro plan.

## I want to see what competitors are running

AdScanner looks up the ads competitors are running, from Google's Ads Transparency Center. AdMinerX keeps the ads that show on a Google search, from a results page you saved or a search Albert runs for you, and can send them into the editor as one preview.

## What is included for free?

Lite is included with your PPC Ad Editor account, in both products.

- AdScanner Lite collects 5 ads per capture job, with up to 3 server searches in any 24 hours. History is kept.
- AdMinerX Lite collects 5 ads per job from a saved Google results page, with no daily limit on uploads. A search Albert runs for you on Lite keeps up to 5 ads, runs from New York, NY, in US English, and you get 3 in any 24 hours. History is kept.

## How much is AdScanner Pro or AdMinerX Pro?

- AdScanner Pro is $19.99 a month. It removes the per-job cap, so one Pro search collects up to 50 ads, with no daily search limit.
- AdMinerX Pro is $19.99 a month. It removes the per-job cap on ads from a results page. A search Albert runs for you on Pro keeps up to 50 ads, with no daily limit, and you can name its city, country and language.
- Intel Pro is $29 a month. It is AdScanner Pro and AdMinerX Pro together on one line.

History is kept on Lite and Pro. Pro still has a rolling 30-day search allowance in each product.

## What is Intel Pro?

What do you get with Intel Pro? Intel Pro is AdScanner Pro and AdMinerX Pro sold together as one plan. Intel Pro is $29 a month. It turns on Pro in both research tools for your workspace, so you get the higher limits in AdScanner and in AdMinerX. Buying the two Pro plans separately costs $19.99 each, so Intel Pro is the cheaper way to get both. On your bill it counts as one product, like either Pro plan on its own.

## Are the limits per person or per workspace?

Per person. The daily searches and the 30-day allowance count the searches you ran with your own sign-in, in every workspace, including the ones Albert ran for you. Each teammate has their own. AdScanner and AdMinerX count separately. Your plan, Lite or Pro, comes from the workspace you open the tool from.

## Can I buy Pro for competitor research from here?

Yes. Pro is bought in PPC Ad Editor checkout.

1. Click Upgrade to Pro in the AdScanner or AdMinerX section of the left menu, or on AdScanner plans or AdMinerX plans.
2. Checkout opens on that Pro plan. For AdScanner Pro the note reads Lite stays free on your account at 5 ads per job. For AdMinerX Pro it says the plan works in the AdMinerX app on this account and is not a Chrome extension.
3. Click Continue to payment and pay.

Only owners and billing members can buy. Two products on one bill are 15% off each, and three or more are 25% off each. AdScanner Pro, AdMinerX Pro and Intel Pro count as one product for that discount, so buying AdScanner Pro and AdMinerX Pro alone does not earn it. Intel Pro, at $29 a month, is the cheaper way to get both.

## When does Pro turn on? I bought Pro but AdScanner still says Lite

If you paid for AdScanner Pro, AdMinerX Pro or Intel Pro and AdScanner or AdMinerX still says Lite, check which workspace you opened it from. Pro turns on for the workspace that bought it. Open AdScanner or AdMinerX from that workspace. The plans page then shows You are on Pro. It can take up to 10 minutes to show after checkout, so reload the page if it still says Lite.
