Likelihood to Recommend It's well-suited to small companies without a dedicated sales force. It helps collect, organize and analyze leads. Perhaps, it adds value to larger teams too, but it has certainly been a valuable addition to us early on in the business when build lead lists and client lists were more challenging. I'm not sure what the current pricing structure is, but it was good value for us at the time of purchase 2 years; pricing has not increased for us since then. So, again, for smaller teams or teams with a limited reach out budget, this may be a suitable option.
Read full review StackAdapt is well-suited in situations where you need to drive awareness to a niche audience that cannot be easily targeted on the GDN.

We cannot pass this on to our international clients and therefore do not use the platform for any clients outside of Canada.

Unintuitive UI/UX. Read full review Communication: Their reps are incredibly transparent, thorough and detailed. I really, really appreciate that. Creativity: Not only are the reps communicative, they actually bring new, fresh ideas to the table. As busy as we are, I can't thank them enough for that. Easy-to-use: As detailed as the dashboard is, it's actually pretty easy to use and bring new users up-to-speed on. Read full review Cons It would be nice to have a direct link on the page that visitors have viewed, so I could quickly check out the site myself. It is hard to copy-paste the link on the viewed pages report to actually see which page has been viewed. A little complicated to use the whole software when you get started, no clear explanation of concepts. Read full review There is no way to QA your own ads. They QA for you and based on the level of their customer support, you can trust their QA, but the lack of self-assessment can cause problems for your company/agency. To know where your ads were actually deployed, when, and for how long would be amazing. They certainly know because they can track all sorts of analytics. Budgeting.

The audience targeting is solid, and array of placements is versatile. With these, the level of engagement for video content is usually great
Read full review Usability Simple, streamlined interface. I would rate it higher if there was a proper agency portal (like an MCC "My Client Center") that allows you to control multiple client accounts from a unified login.

Read full review Support has been exceptional. Our dedicated team is always available and ready to answer any questions that may arise. We receive updates from them on a regular basis and they go above and beyond providing assistance when needed. The team is absolutely one of the bright spots in our relationship with StackAdapt
Read full review Alternatives Considered More or less, Albacross is similar to their competitors but they have a great support, better data accuracy (subjective), and easy setup.

Outbrain and
Taboola out of the water. The ability to drive impressions is similar between all three, but we have seen a large improvement in the quality of these impressions from StackAdapt. Clicks, engagement, and sales are all up on StackAdapt when compared to the other platforms we have used in the past.
Read full review Return on Investment Positive ROI through one closed deal identified from Albatross. Still uncertain on ROI from account-based marketing campaign developed from Albacross data. Read full review Excellent traffic from our ads. Traffic exceeded our forecast. Excellent management of our budget. We did not spend near as much as we budgeted for the response we received through our test. The lead conversion was not expected to be high due to the type of content we deployed, but we received zero conversions, well below anticipated when compared to other ads for the same content.
