6 tools that solve a similar problem. Compare what each costs and what it covers.
Run your own ad server and keep the whole sale
AdButler does the same direct-sold ad serving job on a $179 subscription against Broadstreet's $299, and you keep the whole sale either way.
Hosted ad serving from under ten dollars
AdSpeed is hosted ad serving from $9.95 a month, a far cheaper way to run direct-sold ads than Broadstreet's flat $299.
Ad server you download and run yourself
Revive Adserver covers the ad serving job as free software you download and run yourself, trading Broadstreet's subscription for your own hosting work.
Ad serving that starts free and bills by impression
AdPlugg serves the same direct-sold ads but starts free and bills by impression, so a site with light traffic pays little rather than a flat subscription.
Ad management for sites past 25,000 pageviews
Raptive answers the same ad revenue problem by managing and filling inventory for you, but it wants sites past 25,000 pageviews where Broadstreet assumes you sell direct.
Ads on your site, paid out by Google
Google AdSense fills your pages automatically and pays out a share, free to use, the opposite trade from Broadstreet's flat fee for ads you sold yourself.
