Unlike a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Prebid.org setup, BiddingStack provides a fully managed service. This means we handle the complex technical implementation, ongoing maintenance, and continuous optimization, saving your developers weeks of work and allowing you to focus on your content.
Many managed ad platforms operate as a "black box," hiding auction data from you. At BiddingStack, we believe in full transparency. You get access to detailed auction metrics, just as you would with a self-managed Prebid setup, so you always know how your demand partners are performing.
Most ad management services, like AdButler and Adnimation, take a percentage of your ad revenue. BiddingStack operates on a simple, commission-free model. This means you keep more of your hard-earned revenue, and our incentives are aligned with yours: to build the best technology, not to take a cut of your earnings.
