Apptopia vs. Google AdMob

If your business revolves around technology in apps, revenue generated by certain apps that are industry specific, Apptopia is the way to go. You can see data like DAU, MAU, ARPU, market leaders, SDKs, geographics, analytics. Literally anything you would want to know about mobile apps or the market and technology around them, you can get with Apptopia.

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.

• Some of the data seemed inconsistent when we checked with existing partners.
• The lack of prospecting tool. Apptopia did not provide detailed contact info for companies.
• Apptopia provided revenue data for mobile apps, but we found there was inconsistency with that as well.

• 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.

hard to use, no support

We initially went to Datanyze for email hunting and list building. As we learned more about the feature they offer we realized their data was not as accurate as we needed. During our evaluation of the product there were lots of promises of Beta features or things in the future and not a ton of focus or confidence in what they offered currently. We did leverage and benefit from Datanyze for a decent amount of time, but when we evaluated a side by side comparison, Apptopia came out on top. Datanyze is a little different where they can pull lists of contacts, but at the end of the day we saw App data more important than those lists

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.

• Overall was poor ROI. It was not cheap and did not bring much value.
• Reports seemed to be good at first but later found lots of inaccuracies
• Could not find information on premium publishers

• 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.
