Verdict
Best value native/push/pop spy in 2026 if you are not already locked into an AdPlexity lifetime coupon.

Affiliate media buyers on native, push, and pop

Dropshippers and Meta-only teams
Affiliate forums still treat AdPlexity as the default. That is inertia plus a good product. Anstrex exists because a lot of buyers do not need seven AdPlexity modules — they need native, push, pop, and a lander.
We ran it on health, finance, and utilities GEOs. The lander download and advertiser history were the two features that changed how we built tests.
Traffic types
Native: Taboola/Outbrain-class widgets, headlines, and landers.
Push: creatives, icons, and the offer behind the permission prompt.
Pop: still ugly, still profitable in some GEOs, still indexed.
Pricing
Entry at $69.99/month before AFFRANK_20. That 20% is the difference between “I’ll screenshot AdPlexity from a friend” and “I’ll pay for my own seat.”
