Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
AdPlugg
Ad serving that starts free and bills by impression
AdPlugg serves and reports on ads you sold yourself, with a WordPress plugin for sites that live there and tags for everything else. The free tier runs a hundred thousand impressions a month, which covers a small site outright. Above that the monthly fee is small and the real cost is metered per thousand impressions, published as a table rather than quoted. Nobody here is finding you advertisers.
Our note
Work out your monthly impressions before comparing this against AdButler or Broadstreet, because the flat-fee servers cost more at the bottom and stop surprising you at the top. AdPlugg wins for a site under a hundred thousand impressions by a distance, and the arithmetic reverses somewhere in the millions.
Broadstreet
An ad manager built for small local publishers
Broadstreet sells to the publisher who has a few local advertisers and no ad operations person. The formats are the point: it leans on units that a small site can actually sell, and the reporting is built to be forwarded to the advertiser at the end of the month. Pricing is a flat subscription rather than a share of what the ads make, so a good month is entirely yours. A site with no direct advertisers is buying a tool with nothing to put in it.
