Tapjoy vs. Vungle

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.

Vungle works well for branding and performance as video is a high impact format that and that has good CTRs and CVRs. However, for advertisers without a lot of budget, Vungle may not be a good option as the CPMs on the exchange are very high. For branding there are alternatives that have a more developed product, where video can be targeted near content the user may like, like Teads.

I would say is a standard video SSP. The reporting dashboard is well designed and easy to use and throttling options are standard. They seem to be confident about their inventory and they don't really evolve their product and add new betas or create audiences or do anything out of the ordinary.

Their support team is a bit slow. You have to re-send your email questions constantly because the first email never gets a reply. Their core business is still the ad network which does not involve a lot of human interaction so they are still working on how to evolve their account management team to be an exchange.

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.

Vungle stands out as the only video only exchange. It is their main selling point and they have carved out a nice niche that differentiates them from the rest of SSPs. Their main competition, in my opinion, is Teads, which has focused the product more towards branding in order to monetize better for its publishers by getting higher bids.

Incentivized

• UI/UX is little confusing.
• Rewards are less.

Incentivized

• We have gotten good CPAs, but we have had to bid high CPMs.
• They were reluctant to do a rebate deal, which is something standard once you hit a certain volume of spend, which worsened ROI.
• No buy sides fees, which is a big plus for profitability.
