Top Air alternatives.
Seven tools teams look at instead of Air, as of October 2026. We put ourselves first; each one links to its own comparison.
- 01Start free
The creative library that knows which ads make money: every creative tagged by AI, linked to Shopify products and scored by Meta spend. Flat $39 to $349 a month.
Best for: Meta-first Shopify brands and the agencies that run them.
- 02
Fovea vs Motion →Creative analytics for paid social teams: visual reports, AI tagging and Runneth, an AI teammate, across Meta, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn, priced by monthly ad spend.
Best for: brands and agencies spending $50k+ a month on paid social that want cross-platform reporting and an AI teammate in Slack.
- 03
Fovea vs Foreplay →An ad research and creative workflow tool: save ads to a swipe file, search a community ad library, track competitors and write briefs, plus Meta creative analytics (Lens).
Best for: creative strategists and agencies whose week centres on ad research, competitor tracking and briefs.
- 04
Fovea vs Atria →An AI creative platform for Meta and TikTok advertisers: creative analytics, a large competitor ad library, AI ad generation and Meta uploads, run through an AI agent called Raya.
Best for: Meta and TikTok teams who want competitor research, analytics and AI ad generation in one agent workflow.
- 05
Moving off MagicBrief →Creative analytics, ad research and briefs for DTC brands and agencies. Shut down on 31 July 2026 after Canva acquired it; the team now builds Canva Grow.
Best for: no one today: the product is closed. Former users are choosing a replacement or moving to Canva Grow.
- 06
Fovea vs Kitchn →A workflow system for paid social teams: spreadsheet-style bulk ad building and launching, QA checks, approvals and naming standards, with a creative reporting module.
Best for: agencies and in-house teams launching high volumes of ads across Meta and other social channels who need QA and approvals.
- 07
Fovea vs Triple Whale →Shopify-native attribution and analytics: Triple Pixel, BI dashboards, MMM and incrementality, and the Moby AI agent, with a Creative Analysis dashboard inside.
Best for: Shopify brands that need trusted attribution across channels. Pairs with a creative library.
Where Air is strong.
Air is a mature, well-designed creative library. If any of these is your top priority, it is a strong choice.
A polished visual library
Visual boards, one asset on many boards without duplicates, desktop sync, a mobile app and imports from more than twenty storage tools and DAMs. source
Review and approvals
Pinpointed comments on images and video timestamps, approval stages that show who approved what and when, and automatic version history. source
AI editing and unlimited seats
Air Canvas resizes, reformats and edits creative with 50+ AI models, and every plan, free included, has unlimited seats. source
Where Air falls short.
For a performance team that wants results next to each creative, as of October 2026. Each point links to Air's own pages.
$25, then $900 a month
Nothing in between.
Paid plans are Starter at $25 a month and Business at $900 a month, both billed annually. API and MCP access start on Business.
air.inc/pricingMeta performance on Enterprise only
Ad results sit on the top plan.
Creative Performance, which shows Meta ad results next to assets, is supported on Enterprise plans and only for workspace owners and admins.
help.air.inc/en/articles/13533964-explor…Ads linked to assets by hand
Same manual step as Fovea.
Each unlinked Meta ad is imported or linked to an existing asset by hand, with visually similar suggestions to help. Fovea also links ads by hand today.
help.air.inc/en/articles/13533964-explor…Shopify for storefront content
Ads are not tied to products.
Air's Shopify integration keeps storefront content in line with approved assets. Linking an ad to the Shopify product it sells is not described.
air.inc/integrationsWhat Fovea does differently.
Air is a library for every kind of brand asset. Fovea is a library built around ads and what they earn.
Results on every plan.
Meta spend, ROAS, CTR, hook and hold sync every night onto each linked creative, from Starter up. Winners ranks them.

Revenue stays private.
The Agency role sees CTR, impressions and share of spend. Revenue and ROAS stay hidden.
Every ad, tied to the product it sells.
Your Shopify catalog syncs in, variants included. Filter the Library by product to see every creative linked to it, each with its own spend and ROAS from Meta.
