Days: the headline names the free days. Trial line: the primary text names the free trial. Review risk: the line fails our review check (C9 in the Meta ads playbook). A live ad passed review once, which does not make the line safe.

What it shows

7 findings
  1. Brands that lead with the offer name the days in the headline: Melissa Wood Health (6 to 10), Glo's DCO ads (1, 2) and Kayla Itsines (26). The Sculpt Society and Yoga International say "free trial" with no days.
  2. Sign up is the button on 15 of 27 ads, and on every ad that names the days.
  3. Prices are rare: "$11.25/month" (26) and "less than $5/week" (23). Nobody else shows one.
  4. Founders and teachers post from their own handles: Melissa Wood (10), Megan Roup (25) and Glo's teachers (3 to 5). For Sah, that is a partnership ad from his own account.
  5. Glo and Megan Roup end videos on a comment keyword that sends a DM. Sah's reels do this with SUNDAY, so the DM must lead to the trial checkout before ads run.
  6. The Class is the closest rival. It sells the nervous system and the body, never the trial, and says "get you out of your head and into your body" (13), close to Sah's own line.
  7. Three live ads of The Class hold lines that fail our review check: a question about the viewer's state (13), a claim about anxiety (14), and "menopausal bodies" (15). Do not copy them.

For Sah's three S-001 ads

  • Headline: the free days, in 27 characters or fewer, such as "10 free days, live Sundays".
  • First line: the practice or the week, never a claim about the viewer. "An hour to dance the week out."
  • Button: Sign up. Last line: "Start my 10 free days", the words on the checkout button.
  • Price: once, as the last line of the text, "10 free days, then $49 a month."

Apify's Facebook Ads Library scraper (automation-lab) read the public Meta Ad Library: US, active ads only, no login. Five runs on Oct 7 cost about $0.30. Each brand is read by its Ad Library page id. The seven brands are the ones on our September activation walk list.

Counts are the 27 rows above: 15 video, 8 DCO, 3 image and 1 carousel. Run start date is the only signal of a winner the Library gives, and it is a weak one.
