What each tool is built for
Minea: product and ad research for dropshippers
Minea is an ad spy and product research tool made for dropshippers. You browse ads with engagement filters, then move to the product, the store selling it and a supplier. Plans include AI analysis and transcripts of ads, and the site adds 10 product picks a day. Minea claims 80 million active ads.
TrendTrack: a Shopify store tracker with ad and email data
TrendTrack is a store and brand intelligence tool. You filter Shopify stores by traffic, growth, theme or apps, then open one to see its traffic trend, products, reviews, active ads and email flows. Brandtracker follows up to 20 competitors and logs their Meta ads daily. TrendTrack claims 250 million ads. From Pro, its MCP connection lets Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants pull that data.
The differences that decide it
Do you start from a product or from a store?
Minea answers "which product is selling through ads right now?" TrendTrack answers "which stores are growing, and what are they doing?" If you dropship and test a new product every week, Minea fits. If you run a brand and watch a handful of competitors, TrendTrack does.
Which ad channels does each one cover?
Minea is focused on Meta ads, which every plan includes. TikTok is announced, with conflicting information on Minea's site: its homepage grid has a TikTok row from Premium, while its pricing page lists TikTok, Pinterest and Snapchat ads as coming soon. TrendTrack covers Meta ads, TikTok ads and organic TikTok posts, and Google Search and Shopping ads, all from Pro.
Pinterest is less clear. Minea's FAQ says it covers Pinterest ads and influencer placements on Instagram and Snapchat, but its plan table lists only Meta and TikTok, and another block on the same page still calls Pinterest "coming soon". TrendTrack doesn't mention Pinterest.
Minea and TrendTrack pricing: what the entry plan gets you
Both start at $49 (or €49) a month, but the Starter plans have little in common. Minea Starter gives Meta ads, products and supplier search, with no TikTok, no shop data and no brand tracker. TrendTrack Starter gives the store database and 5 lookups a week, with no ad library and no emails. For most sellers, the fair match is Minea Premium against TrendTrack Pro.
| Plan | Monthly | Quarterly, per month | Annual, per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minea Starter | $49 | $39 | $34 |
| TrendTrack Starter | €49 / $49 | €41 / $41 | €34 / $34 |
| TrendTrack Pro | €89 / $89 | €76 / $76 | €62 / $62 |
| TrendTrack Business | €159 / $159 | €135 / $135 | €111 / $111 |
Prices checked on 5 November 2026. TrendTrack's Enterprise plan is priced on request. Minea Premium, the plan to set against TrendTrack Pro, costs $99 a month or $69 billed yearly; the rest of its grid is on our page with all Minea plans and limits.
How each tool limits your usage
Minea deducts credits each time you search, view ads or open a detail page. Its pricing page doesn't print the amounts; the FAQ only says Premium gives ten times more research credits than Starter. AI ad analysis is capped at 10 a month on Starter, 50 on Premium, with no cap on Business.
TrendTrack counts lookups. One lookup opens a brand's store analytics, ads, landing pages and emails for 24 hours. Brands in Brandtracker stay open without using one. You get 5 lookups a week on Starter, 30 on Pro and no cap on Business.

Choose Minea if…
- you dropship and look for your next product in ads;
- you want Meta ads and store data in one place and can pay for Premium;
- you want AI breakdowns and transcripts of the ads you find;
- you want product lists and supplier search next to the ads.
Skip it if you need store traffic, email flows or Google ads.
Choose TrendTrack if…
- you run a Shopify brand and watch a few competitors every day;
- you need a store's traffic, products, apps and email flows;
- you advertise in the EU or UK and want reach and spend estimates;
- you want Google ads too, or MCP access from Claude or ChatGPT (Pro and up).
Skip it if you only want a cheap ad library (Starter has none) or Pinterest ads.
Minea or TrendTrack? Our verdict by profile
Verdict
For a dropshipper on a budget, Minea Premium ($99) covers more of the daily job: Meta ads, products, stores and suppliers. For a brand owner or media buyer who studies competitors, TrendTrack Pro, at $89 (or €89), goes further on stores, emails and EU ad spend. On the Starter plans, neither tool gives you the full picture.
Using Minea and TrendTrack together
The two tools answer different questions, so they chain well:
- In Minea, filter recent Meta ads by engagement to spot a product taking off.
- Open the store behind the ad in TrendTrack and spend a lookup on it: traffic trend, products, other active ads.
- Use Similar Shops to see who else sells the product and how heavily they advertise.
- Add the two or three strongest stores to Brandtracker to follow their new Meta ads every day.
- Back in Minea, run the AI analysis on the best ads to brief your own creatives, then find a supplier.
Paying for both separately, at the prices of 5 November 2026:
| Pair of plans | Monthly billing | Annual billing, per month |
|---|---|---|
| Minea Starter + TrendTrack Starter | $98 | $68 |
| Minea Premium + TrendTrack Pro | $188 | $131 |
| Minea Business + TrendTrack Business | $358 | $250 |
These totals count TrendTrack in dollars. If TrendTrack shows you euros, its part of the bill is in euros. Annual plans are billed once for the year. This compares each vendor's list prices. In SpyBox, every tool opens on its top plan.
Both are included in SpyBox
SpyBox is a desktop app for Windows and Mac with 35 ecom and AI tools, Minea and TrendTrack among them, for €29.99 a month or €249.99 a year.

FAQ
Is Minea or TrendTrack better for beginners?
For a beginner in dropshipping, Minea is the easier start: you go from an ad to the product and a supplier in one place. TrendTrack pays off most once you know which stores to watch. Compare Premium with Pro, since both Starter plans leave out key data.
Which is cheaper, Minea or TrendTrack?
At entry level they cost the same: $49 (or €49) a month, or $34 (or €34) a month on annual billing. At the level most sellers need, TrendTrack Pro is cheaper: $89 (or €89) a month against $99 for Minea Premium, and $62 (or €62) against $69 on annual billing. Minea bills in dollars; TrendTrack in euros or dollars. Prices checked on 5 November 2026.
Does TrendTrack replace Minea?
For brand and competitor research, it can: TrendTrack covers Meta, TikTok and Google ads and goes deeper on stores and emails. It doesn't list influencer placements, daily product lists or supplier search, which Minea does. If you're choosing Minea or TrendTrack for product hunting, the two work best at different steps.
Which one covers TikTok ads?
TrendTrack does: it shows TikTok ads and organic TikTok posts from its Pro plan, at $89 (or €89) a month, next to Meta and Google ads. Minea is focused on Meta ads; its homepage grid lists TikTok ads from Premium ($99 a month), but its pricing page calls them coming soon. Neither Starter plan gives you a TikTok ad library.
Is there a free trial of Minea or TrendTrack?
Minea's FAQ mentions a free Lite plan and says Minea does not issue refunds; its pricing page shows no trial for paid plans. TrendTrack invites you to "Start Now for Free" without a trial length; its Chrome extension is free. Both say you can cancel at any time. For a first look at Meta ads at no cost, the Meta Ad Library method works without either tool.
