Emma Sophia Robers Java Software Engineer Chose Google AdMob It ensures that ads meet quality standards and that ads are individually screened for ad fraud and malware issues. Incentivized Helpful? Armand Ruci Teacher 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. Incentivized Helpful? Ernesto Altamirano Owner and Founder Chose Google AdMob We just use Google AdMob Incentivized Helpful? AL Anatoly Lubarsky Founder and lead developer 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.

Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized MA Mehdi Ayouch CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) Read full review	Although IS is mostly utilized for apps in the gaming vertical, and the bulk of their publishers are also in the gaming vertical, we have had some success using its DSP. As a non-gaming app, we occasionally struggle to find a reliable source of constant inventory and growth. However, with IS, we've found a few good pockets (publishers) that appear to back out extremely well for us. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Provides a complete ad verification system. Integration with Google Analytics. Transmission customization Ad network mediation is a great feature to manage many ad networks at the same time. Incentivized Emma Sophia Robers Java Software Engineer Read full review	Great reporting Dedicated AM to help get the best use of the product Exclusive deals with big publishers Incentivized Kimberly Smith Director digital Read full review
Cons	Admob has very low prices for impressions or clicks on Android. Admob has very low prices for impressions or clicks in many countries including Europe. Admob is still having certain security issues: allowing sensitive ads on G rated apps. Admob allows multiple-choice banners on G-rated apps while this is not allowed by policy.

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. Yohan Wadia Proprietor Read full review	Helps us deliver on our campagins, improving ROI Inventory quite expensive, decreasing ROI Not transparent on margins, which is not good for the business Gabriela Band Sales Specialist Read full review
