    We were wanting to expand our channels, and IS stood out from the others because of their presence in other verticals that suited our target audience. We would not propose utilizing IS to replace any of your existing DSPs, but rather to supplement the DSPs you are already using.

    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.

    Tapjoy is awesome when you wish to advertise your app. User traffic can be achieved through campaigns. The engagement rate can be increased, which in turn increases business sales. The smart search option is very accurate and time-saving; I was able to search the term like ticket id. High revenue can be achieved.

    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.

    They have very different model of business, but I would use TapJoy as a complement of this other products. So you can expand the inventory where you buy ads and be able to scale more rapidly the growth of your mobile app.
