    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.

    Simpli.fi
    If you don't care where your campaigns are running, if you don't care about your clients then feel free to do business with them. I would not recommend them to other agencies or business if they have a lot of particular advertisers and clients that they work with. It is too much work for them. If you want to do a self-service model with Simpli.fi, then I could recommend working with them. As long as I don't have to deal with their customer service daily, and my company has the control of the campaigns, I can feel more comfortable working with them. But even still, there are a lot of red flags that have been raised over the last few years and I am skeptical.

    Simpli.fi
    • Simpli.fi's Geo-Fencing capabilities are top notch! The ability to include an unlimited number of geo-fences within a campaign is invaluable, as is the ability to measure the effectiveness of a geo-fencing campaign in driving foot traffic to our clients' physical locations.
    • Our organization appreciates the knowledge, experience and responsiveness of Simpli.fi's customer support staff.
    • One of the things Simpli.fi does particularly well is the education of its users and re-sellers. From monthly webinars, to its Bullseye learning courses, they have a way to make the complex understandable to even the most green digital sellers!

    Cons
    Google
    • 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.

    • The approaches are not easily understood by our sales reps.
    • The reporting platform is pretty basic. The new platform is still in beta version.

    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.

    We have done a lot of research on many other vendors that offer the same or even more as Simpli.fi and have found a great fit for our business. There are many other options out there for programmatic buying! My advice to you is do your research. Don't just jump into bed with one without knowing all of the facts. Ask questions. Do some digging. And NEVER take anything they say at face value. They are there to sell you the product and if you move forward, you will for sure be disappointed

    Return on Investment
    Google
    • 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.

    • We have been able to leverage Simpli.fi's geo-fencing tools to pry business away from larger competitors.
    • The lack of a customer-facing dashboard is a weakness.
    • Simpli.fi's low barrier of entry has allowed us to scale at our pace without the threat of being cut off in the face of high minimum spends.
