Run your own ad server and keep the whole sale
AdButler starts at $179 with no free tier, well above AdSpeed's $9.95, for a publisher who needs frequency capping and video ad support.
An ad manager built for small local publishers
Broadstreet costs $299 a month against AdSpeed's $9.95, built for a local publisher juggling several advertisers rather than a single site owner.
Ad serving that starts free and bills by impression
AdPlugg keeps a free tier up to its impression cap before the $10 plan kicks in, where AdSpeed charges the flat $9.95 from the first ad.
Ad server you download and run yourself
Revive Adserver costs nothing because you host it yourself, trading AdSpeed's $9.95 hosted convenience for your own server to maintain.
Ads without tracking, for developer sites
EthicalAds runs its own no-tracking ad network free of charge, for a developer site that would rather not sell its own placements.
Display ads with no traffic minimum to join
Infolinks is free to join with no traffic minimum, because it sells the ads itself instead of serving placements you already sold.
Ads on your site, paid out by Google
Google AdSense fills unsold space with Google's advertisers and pays you, instead of serving the ads you sold yourself like AdSpeed does.
