Considered Both Products
Adjust
Chose Adjust
Because of the below reasons:
  • Very easy to use and the integration process moved forward smoothly
  • Offers the right data and information
Chose Adjust
Each MMP has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. What I like about Adjust is that it blocks the postbacks for invalid traffic without triggering an install which helps reduce fraud, as the fraudulent party does not get paid. Other systems count the install and then …
Chose Adjust
I would recommend AppsFlyer over Adjust, as they have a better UI, clearer solutions, and better customer success than Adjust. Regarding Singular, Adjust is lagging behind the reporting tools and analytics.
Chose Adjust
We use a lot of platforms and I would say adjust is on the higher tier- but still not the most user friendly
Chose Adjust
- Adjust Attribution is easily better than AppsFlyer. Adjust Attribution since it includes both mobile site and Desktop tracking
Chose Adjust
Kochava is the most popular one and has a better dashboard, offering many options for visualizing data. Adjust has a poor dashboard in comparison to Kochava, but offers easier integration with SDK and is cheaper. I don't think adjust shares device IDs, though. Its attribution …
Google AdMob
Chose Google AdMob
AppLovin MAX has support and a website and ad demo/trial system that is a lot easier to understand and use.
Chose Google AdMob
Google AdMob provides more features and additional tools for assessments than other tools available in the market. Its automated tools make it extraordinary to handle. As it facilitates getting paid for adding ads to my app without any complications, I am so impressed with it.
Chose Google AdMob
No special reason for choosing Google AdMob. Out point is easy to gain appropriate knowledge from youtube.com and people who work with us. We won't have another similar application so far. However, we feel it works well and makes us happy because of easy function and …
Chose Google AdMob
It ensures that ads meet quality standards and that ads are individually screened for ad fraud and malware issues.
Chose Google AdMob
I like Google AdMob because it does payout on time and even though the final payout is sometimes less than promised it is better than Apple iAd because the latter takes a longer time to payout.
Chose Google AdMob
Facebook Audience stacked well against AdMob however this year due to recent changes introduced in Apple 14 and the fact that Facebook Audience has become bidding only platform - AdMob had succeeded to outcompete Facebook Audience and is better. Admob provides easier …
Chose Google AdMob
We have used a few other ad networks, but they are not suited to our requirements. Admob has the best fill rate for Indian apps, that others lack. For our few apps that target USA and European customers, we use Mobclix. Admob has also fewer configurable thresholds for payments. …

User Testimonials
Adjust by AppLovinGoogle AdMob
Likelihood to Recommend
It is very well-suited for big apps that have lots of users. They scale very well and are a little bit less expensive than other alternatives. They have API connections that are suitable for internal attributions and data. I recommend other solutions in some cases, such as cohorts and UI/Agency access.

Google AdMob is the best choice in my opinion for any developer or company looking for a reliable way to monetize their app traffic and generate revenue from relevant ads displayed inside their mobile app, and it can be easily integrated into any IOS or Android App.

Pros
  • Tracking installs on mobile app campaigns on Android or iOS, as well as UAC campaigns.
  • Tracking in-app actions on our mobile campaigns.
  • Showing more accurate numbers, since it counts pure installs from new users only without counting re-installs,
  • Counts installs only after first opening of the app, while Google and Apple count also downloads even if the app doesn't get installed or opened after.

Each MMP has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. What I like about Adjust is that it blocks the postbacks for invalid traffic without triggering an install which helps reduce fraud, as the fraudulent party does not get paid. Other systems count the install and then you need to go into the logs to subtract it but Adjust does it automatically. However, Adjust is by far the MMP with the worst UI and UX.

No special reason for choosing Google AdMob. Out point is easy to gain appropriate knowledge from youtube.com and people who work with us. We won't have another similar application so far. However, we feel it works well and makes us happy because of easy function and experience. So I recommend this if we need to apply this for our company activity.

Return on Investment
  • As a positive impact it helped us create dashboards for every aspect of the business.
  • It made us more data-oriented with the possibility to study retention and activation of specific cohorts.

  • Before I got into it my other friends told me there are way better Ad providers. But being a Google fan I still signed up.
  • Now I remember writing to AdMob, requesting them to give me earning rates... But they never replied. So zero return on investment. They just keep you guessing.
