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. …

GroundTruth was recommended to us by a vendor and was the only product we evaluated

The customisable pricing of GroudTruth as per the campaigns size and frequency made us choose it. This helped optimise the cost for us. GroundTruth was referred to us by some consultants. So positive word of mouth was there. GrondTruth business team was easily approachable and …

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.

Starting to work with more clients on targeted Advertising and geofencing. The platform is simple to use, guides through the process and has excellent reporting features. GroundTruth can login and setup a campaign which can run the next day itself. Their Excel sheets are very difficult to use and it's impossible to upload bulk locations into this campaign. It can take several business days to setup a 200 point campaign because the mass upload isn't good in my opinion.

  • There is a learning curve to GroundTruth. The UI/UX can be improved further
  • Bounce rates are high due to mobile only campaigns
  • Updating creatives can be time consuming sometimes. Some customisable default templates should be provided for easier use.

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
  • 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.
