AppLovin is a mobile advertising optimization platform from the company of the same name headquartered in California.
AdPumb stood by me throughout their integration. This is unlike any other providers including and especially AdMob and FAN. They realized the 2x revenue increase they guaranteed, after which provided me with analytics and reports without fail. Best mediation platform if you are not technically inclined in the field. I am now an expert, thanks to the AdPumb team!!
AppLovin is particularly well suited for gaming campaigns where it is really hard to reach users and you need formats like the rewarded video to keep users engaged with your ad. I would not recommend it for branding campaigns as their formats are more performance-focused and the inventory is expensive so unless you are trying to reach the desired CPA, it would not be worth it to pay that much for ad placement.
AppLovin has been a great partner for us. We have used them through our DSP and gotten great results with them. Their focus is on monetizing publishers' inventory and they could put more resources into their standalone service as an SSP to make sure DSPs can consider them strategic partners for the long term.
AppLovin's support team is their weakest point. They are not very responsive and they tend to provide solutions that do not fix the problem. It seems like they will only be proactive if you are a very big client and by doing that they are preventing the rest of the client base from increasing spend on their platform and growing their accounts
I have used Google AdMob for monetization during my starting days as a publisher. The service they gave was not that great. With Google AdMob, customer support was non existent and my accounts regularly got suspended due to reasons unknown without any prior warning. After much deliberation, i found AdPumb and have never been happier working with a mediation platform. 5 stars!!!
Of all of the competitors above, AppLovin is the one that is more focused on gaming and that has a better pool of users in terms of conversion rate. While PubMatic and Magnate offer better solutions for CTV, AppLovin is better than InMobi and MoPub regarding in-app formats and inventory.
