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.
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.
Our note
Ask what the entry tier's impression allowance is before committing, since that is the number the published floor does not carry and it is what decides whether $9.95 is the real price for your traffic. Against AdPlugg's free tier this only makes sense once you are past a hundred thousand impressions a month.
Swapstack
Newsletter sponsorships with a published fee
Swapstack introduces newsletter writers to the brands that want to advertise in them, and it is unusually direct about what it takes for doing so. A publisher joins for nothing and keeps everything on a deal they source themselves; the fee applies to campaigns Swapstack brought. Advertisers pay a share of spend instead. For a writer with a few thousand subscribers and no interest in cold email, that is the whole pitch.
