    Chose AppLovin Exchange (ALX)
    I think AppLovin is much better than these three apps combined because it provides a better opportunity for a business to scale up on its mobile site and it helps new businesses grow their ROI. The company has been around since 2012 and it boasts 300 million subscribers so it …

    AppLovin is more focused on high impact formats instead of other exchanges that are more focused on banners and standard sizes. Also, their fraud controls are much more strict, which is a great advantage.

    Likelihood to Recommend
    AppLovin
    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.

    Usability
    AppLovin
    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.

    Support Rating
    AppLovin
    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
