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.

Very good to scale Android apps in US or MX. I wouldn't use it for scaling iOS Apps in Latin America as they have a very small inventory. The platform is super easy to use and start launching ads. We use it as a complement to Appsflyer.

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.

ironSource has more reach in the USA than other players that are focused on smaller geos. I would also say that Google is a big competitor with its DV360 and we use them as well, but ironSource is more focused on branding and Google provides more options for campaigns that have multiple objectives.

• 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.

• It help us scale some apps.
• Sometimes it doesn't deliver at the set targets.
