AdButler
Run your own ad server and keep the whole sale
AdButler is the software behind a direct ad sale rather than a network that finds the advertiser for you. You upload the creative, set the targeting and the flight dates, and the server counts what was delivered so both sides are looking at the same numbers. That matters to a publisher who has already sold the slot and does not want a third party taking a cut of it. The trade is obvious: nobody is filling your inventory, so the sales job stays yours.
Our note
Buy this when the sales conversation is already happening and the only question is how to serve and count what you sold. If you are still hoping somebody fills the space for you, an ad network costs nothing up front and this costs $179 a month before a single advertiser exists.
AdSpeed
Hosted ad serving from under ten dollars
AdSpeed is a hosted ad server, so there is no software to install and no server of your own to keep patched. It rotates creatives, targets by geography and device, and reports impressions and clicks to whoever bought the slot. The price is the reason to look: this is the cheapest published entry point of any ad server in this directory. Support and reporting are what people say they stay for.
