FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Cover the most common questions buyers ask before choosing this tool.
Is Minea good for Shopify product research?
Yes for ad-based discovery, but it does not show Shopify store structure or margin, so pair it with a store spy or margin model.
Is Minea's ad data real-time?
It reflects recent ads, but by the time a product is heavily advertised it is usually already working, so treat it as a lagging signal.
Does Minea have a free plan?
It offers a free tier, but the deeper filtering and larger data volumes require a paid plan.
