Kevel vs. TripleLift

For ad serving, implementing client-side header bidding with prebid was actually easier with Kevel than it is with Google Ad Manager in most cases, particularly for display advertising. I found though that with more complex integrations (like video), there were more solutions and code snippets available with other larger ad servers (Google).

TripleLift is very well suited for native campaigns and sponsored content posts that can mimic the look and feel of the original content. I would not use them for retargeting campaigns or performance-driven objectives. They have partnerships with top media publishers in the US, but those premium CPMs are not cheap.

Kevel was an easier initial implementation for header bidding with prebid. The team worked alongside us to make sure everything was operating as intended. We ultimately switched to Ads Manager to access AdX demand and other features that were not possible with Kevel (for instance, EBDA). There are benefits to both but I appreciated the attention we got from Kevel support when we were first working through the implementation. We are still using Kevel for many things, just not as our primary display advertising ad server.

The main advantage that TripleLift has over its competitors is the native custom-made format that ensures the programmatic traffic bought through the platform blends with the original content in a convincing way to boost campaign results. Unlike AppNexus, their focus is not CTV and more focused on in-app inventory.

• Kevel enabled us to get up and running with client side header bidding when our team was still small and the technology was still new. This improved our ability to monetize our inventory.
