WhatScales tracks 100,650 live Instagram ads from 662 brands as of November 12, 2026, including 12,870 launched in the last 7 days. The count covers the DTC brands we follow, not every advertiser.
Which brands run the most Instagram ads?
Among the brands we track: Rosabella (952 ads), Noverly (947 ads), Auniva (908 ads), Domain (883 ads) and Smooche (875 ads).
What ad formats work for instagram brands?
Of the 27,008 Instagram ads we have labelled by format, 53% are Static, 20% are UGC, 18% are Product demo and 3% are Comparison. A format that brands keep running is a format that pays for itself.
How long do Instagram ads run?
Half of the Instagram ads we track have been live for more than 35 days. The longest-running one is from Uber Eats and started 2,387 days ago. Brands turn off what loses money, so a long run is the best public sign that an ad works.
How are these Instagram ads ranked?
Each brand's live ads are listed in Meta's Ad Library by impressions. WhatScales records that order every day, so "#1 of 49" means the ad Meta delivers most among the brand's 49 live ads. The page shows one ad per brand, the best placed first. Meta publishes no spend or revenue, and neither do we.
Can I see every ad, not only six?
Yes. A WhatScales account shows all of them as videos with filters by niche, format, hook and funnel stage, the transcript and creative read of each ad, and alerts when a brand you follow launches something new. It starts with a 7-day free trial.
