26,457 ads from 20 meal delivery apps in the Meta Ad Library, 15,370 running now.
20 meal delivery apps have 26,457 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 15,370 of those were running when we read it on October 8, 2026. Below is a page of creative from each, what formats carry the category, and how long the ads that work stay up.
Minutes and a logo on the bag, at the door, are the meal delivery ad, because dinner is a clock and a restaurant menu is too much to read in a feed.
The library count is everything a brand has published on Meta. The active count is what was delivering at the read. The ratio between them is the account’s posture: a large library with a small active share is a brand cycling hard, and one where nearly everything is live is running a small curated set.

A screen recording of the core moment, the budget balancing, the match, the level cleared, beats a list of features. One outcome per ad.
The first line names a frustration the viewer already has. The app is the answer in the second line, not the first.
Installs are cheap; users who come back are not. Send Meta your in-app events, trial starts or purchases, and optimize toward those. "Order now" is the most used button here.
App advertisers who win run many variations at once and let spend find the winner. Vary the hook, the first frame and the person on screen before you vary the audience.
The median meal delivery ad here stayed up 38 days. Give a new ad a week of spend before you judge it, then retire what is not getting results and write the next version of what is. The advertisers with the most live ads are the ones testing the most.
This page shows 607 creatives. Meta lists 26,457 for these advertisers, and 15,370 are running right now. Sprites' proprietary marketing agent reads every meal delivery ad running now, writes ads for your app in the styles that work, and runs them on Meta, Google and TikTok once you approve.
