Google AdMob vs. ironSource

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.

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.

• 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.

• Great reporting

• 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.

• Very small inventory for iOS in Latin.
• Sometimes does not deliver at the set targets.

hard to use, no support

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.

Very good service. Self serve platform in compared with the other apps. Would recommend it to try new channels.

• 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.

• Helps us deliver on our campagins, improving ROI
• Inventory quite expensive, decreasing ROI
• Not transparent on margins, which is not good for the business
