xAd
It's fantastic for targeting an audience when you know where they will be for a very low CPM. However, it's hard if you are a brick-and-mortar and want to truly measure the results. You need to get creative in ways to attribute site visits and purchases back to the campaign (unique coupon codes, etc.)

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.

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.
