Overall Satisfaction with AppLovin

AppLovin is used on the organization to increase our programmatic reach. We can buy from them directly on a managed basis or use them directly as an exchange connected to our DSP. It has provided great results with CTRs that are above industry standards. They are laser focused in terms of their priorities and have a great amount of publishers, specifically in the USA.
  • Very good quality. Their CTRs are above average.
  • Great support team, very personable and helpful
  • Exclusive publishers, mostly on the gaming category
  • They should provide more detail in their reporting tools
  • As a DSP, they could handle QPS better thus lowering the infrastructure costs for the DSP.
  • They could expand their international inventory offering
  • It has helped us reach our CPAs, so the impact has been very helpful.
  • It has had high ROI by increasing the amount of publishers we are using on each campaign.
  • Also, it allowed us to reach more users for our retargeting campaign, thus improving our revenue.
AppLovin has been a great partner for us. We have used them through our DSP and gotten great results with them. Their focus is on monetizing publishers' inventory and they could put more resources into their standalone service as an SSP to make sure DSPs can consider them strategic partners for the long term.
Their team is very knowledgeable and kind. They are always eager to help and very fast to assist you with requests. I have gotten lengthy answers for some questions I had about the platform every time I encountered an issue. I have only praises for them and recommend them to any potential partner.
AppLovin is more focused on high impact formats instead of other exchanges that are more focused on banners and standard sizes. Also, their fraud controls are much more strict, which is a great advantage.
AppLovin works great for campaigns that are focused on performance. Their CTRs are really good since they have high impact formats, like interstitials and video, which makes for great CPAs. They are great for the US market, but they should expand their presence in the rest of the world where we can get better coverage on other SSPs.
