# Set the region filter before you spend a credit

In ADSoar, one list query costs 1 credit and returns up to 40 ads. The region filter decides whether those 40 ads are useful.

1. Pick the market you report on.
2. Set date range and status (active vs inactive).
3. Then run the list query.

Opening ad details costs another credit each, so only open ads that look different from the rest. Insight analysis is 25 credits; save it for the competitors you actually present. Start in [Google Ads Library Pro](https://adsoar.ai/google-ads-library-pro). Overview: [ADSoar](https://adsoar.ai/).

ADSoar is an independent ad research tool, not affiliated with Google or Meta.
