<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/adroll/reviews"><strong>AdRoll</strong></a> (4.1/5, 760+ reviews): Self-serve, built around retargeting and prospecting for mid-sized e-commerce brands, with Shopify and similar integrations. Trade-off: it's display, social and email, not a full DSP, so CTV and audio are out of scope.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/simpli-fi/reviews"><strong>Simpli.fi</strong></a> (4.5/5, 150+ reviews): Geo-fencing and addressable campaigns with a client success team doing much of the setup. Trade-off: mostly US, local-market focused, and the assisted model means less hands-on control.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/quantcast-platform/reviews"><strong>Quantcast Platform</strong></a> (4.2/5, 185+ reviews): Open-internet DSP with its own audience data and AI optimisation, so there is little to configure. Trade-off: no search or social buying.</li>

AdRoll’s self-serve model makes sense for teams that want to get campaigns moving without learning a full DSP first. Simpli.fi takes a different route by leaning more on client success for setup. I’d be curious which approach gets a new marketer to the point of confidently making campaign changes on their own faster.
