US Est. 2007 Active Ad Monetization / Mediation

Our Verdict

Dependable commodity SSP to include in header bidding, but not a mobile-first specialist.

Pros

  • Massive scale programmatic exchange
  • Strong mobile, CTV and web coverage
  • Reliable infrastructure and uptime

Cons

  • Commodity SSP economics with thin margins
  • Less app-specific feature investment
  • Header bidding complexity for small pubs
Best for: Large publishers wanting another demand source in their header bidding wrapper. Not for: Mobile-only app publishers needing SDK-first tooling and app-specific demand.

When to Use OpenX

Good fit if you need

  • Real-time bidding inventory monetization for mobile publishers
  • Header bidding integration for CTV and web display inventory
  • Premium programmatic demand for high-scale mobile app publishers
