AdButler review
AdButler is a hosted ad server with published monthly plans, a white-label portal for advertisers and support that includes help moving off your old system. It can serve display, native, video, in-app, sponsored listings and email newsletter ads from one account.
Go to AdButlerOur verdict
AdButler is the most complete package we score for a publisher that wants to get running quickly and know what it will pay. Plans are listed on its site, starting at $179 a month for 1M ad requests, and setup is self-serve. Beyond the web, it serves ads into apps and email newsletters, and its Commerce Catalyst product adds sponsored listings for retail and commerce media. A documented REST API and a Prebid wrapper cover developers and header bidding. AdButler does not run an ad exchange or DSP, so you choose your own demand partners. The main trade-off is programmatic scale: it has fewer built-in demand sources than Google Ad Manager.
