4194 active ads longest 48d

The winning set holds steady at 9 ads, every one English, every one casting a female 18-24 presenter, but the format story underneath is new: image ads are just 44% of the x-rayed creatives, dco quietly holds 22%, video takes 33%. Zero new winners emerged this week while 21 ads retired since 2026-07-27.

Wispr Flow

1028 active ads longest 87d

Wispr Flow's proven engine is speed comparison: 42 of 144 winning ads, each a ~17-second video starring a male 25-34 presenter on camera. Overloaded Knowledge Worker absorbs 79 ads, more than half the x-rayed set, while pattern interrupt hooks anchor 46 of the tagged mechanics. Yet every one of the 144 winning ads runs in English, zero coverage in German or Portuguese, the exact languages reviewers keep flagging.

Claude by Anthropic

Productivity · by Anthropic PBC

686 active ads longest 88d

Of 456 active Meta ads for Claude, only 21 survive past 30 days, and the longest-runner (59 days) opens on 'it doesn't work while I sleep.' This week added 6 new winners and retired 21, while the real workhorse stays a ~5-second, no-people product clip anchoring 11 of those 21 survivors.

Dropbox

Productivity · by Dropbox, Inc.

256 active ads longest 49d

Dropbox's 47 surviving ads split between two humans on camera: a male 25-34 who says 'the track stops being yours alone' 8 times, and a completely faceless product screen-recording that still wins 7 slots. The longest survivor has run 103 days, and this week added 15 new winners while retiring just 2.

Speechify

Productivity · by Speechify Inc.

235 active ads longest 59d

Speechify runs 167 active Meta ads across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and Threads, all built from a single primary text: 'Tired of reading long texts?' Yet only one ad survives past 30 days: a 19-second pattern-interrupt video of a woman confessing 'This app changed my life,' running 68 days straight.

Perplexity

Productivity · by Perplexity AI Inc.

222 active ads longest 143d

After weeks of shrinking, Perplexity's winning set just grew: +8 new winners against only 2 retirements since July 27, pushing the survivor count to 67 and the longest-runner to 166 days. Subscription consolidation has caught up to multi-model orchestration, both now tied at 19 ads apiece, while primary texts expanded from 9 to 12 scripts in rotation.

Cleanfox

Productivity · by FOXINTEL

189 active ads longest 107d

Cleanfox's winning set collapsed from 48 ads to just 4, and the longest-running survivor now sits at 66 days, down from 1090. All four are English-only videos with an on-camera presenter, and 3 of 4 still run the two mistakes warning angle. Spanish and Thai cuts that once anchored the account are gone from the current winning set entirely.

Opal

Productivity · by OPAL OS CORPORATION

95 active ads longest 86d

Opal's Meta presence has nearly doubled to 69 active ads, yet the winning set is still frozen at 3, the same trio of scripts that's carried this account for months. The longest survivor just crossed 76 days: a male presenter staring into the lens, saying 'you have reached an instagram checkpoint.' Every ad in the library is video, and every x-rayed creative puts a human on camera, nothing product-only has ever cracked the winning set.
