"Transforms Publisher Monetization Effortlessly, with High Standards"
What do you like best about Playwire?

I really appreciate Playwire's Capacity to Handle the 'Ad Ops' Talent Gap as their RAMP acts as an outsourced team, making my life easier. It's impressive how Playwire provides access to high-end Direct Sales and high-impact ad units, moving beyond standard ads and delivering premium brand dollars with their 'Flex Suite.' I find their dashboard's real-time, granular data super useful for making informed, data-driven decisions. Their approach to lazy loading ads and lightweight scripting means my site's speed stays optimal, which helps with SEO rankings. I love how their Compliance Automation handles laws like COPPA and GDPR, ensuring my ads meet necessary legal standards without extra hassle. The Revenue Intelligence® feature is a standout; the AI-driven Price Floor Controller that adjusts real-time price floor rules provides a noticeable revenue lift. Also, their 'QPT' Philosophy's focus on Traffic Shaping is beneficial as it reduces ad requests while increasing revenue. Additionally, the dedicated onboarding manager made the initial setup virtually stress-free by guiding our dev team and managing Google Ad Manager migration for us.

What do you dislike about Playwire?

The issue I have is that you need at least 500,000 monthly page views for websites or 1,000 daily active users for apps to join. This can be frustrating for high-quality, growing sites that aren't quite at that scale yet. It makes the platform feel a bit like an 'exclusive club' that smaller publishers can't access.

"Excellent support"
What do you like best about Playwire?

With Playwire you're assigned a personal account manager which helps optimize ads on your website in a customized way and proactively monitors the performance and discusses new opportunities. The account manager thinks along when I have questions or issues. Based on 5 years of experience I can say that they are very responsive and typically reply on emails within a day. And they respect my preferences regarding what type and amount of ads I want. Lastly: the revenue is good. Some periods it's less, then I can discuss what the reasons are. Other periods it's above expectation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playwire?

The only downside I see is not Playwire specific but related to ads in general: loading ads on a website involves a lot of extra requests and data transfer. That can make a web page slow to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

-The analytics are very detailed and provide sufficient information about user behavior on the respective days

-There is a wide selection of different ads, and new ones are constantly being added.

What do you dislike about Playwire?

Playwire is one of the only providers to offer rewarded video ads, but I still find the system very cumbersome and a bit of a hodgepodge.

However, I have heard that there will be a new system for this in the near future. I am therefore looking forward to the new system and hope that it will solve the problems of the old one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A fantastic team doing their all"
What do you like best about Playwire?

The team are easy to work with, friendly, always eager to help. It feels like they have whats best for us at their heart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playwire?

Some of the changes to their RAMP analytics back end are sometimes sudden, without explanation and do not always feel like they improve my reporting experience. Updates like these should be less frequent (Start of each quarter?) and give users a heads up, or a chance to give feedback on changes before they're suddenly implemented.

"Excellent support and communication"
What do you like best about Playwire?

The service and support I have received from Playwire has been especially impressive. I have been working as a small web publisher for over two decades and have never received this level of attention before. There is also a refreshing honesty and transparency from the company. They are very clear about exactly where revenue comes from and what ad formats are working and which ones are not. This is underlined by the reporting system, which allows you to see exactly how income is generated across your site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playwire?

I would like to be able to monetize non-US traffic better. Of course, this is not a Playwire-specific problem and affects every ad platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great results, steady income, occasional surprises!"
What do you like best about Playwire?

I love that I have a team on my side who understand my business and are always looking for ways to help me meet my goals. When there are big successes, my team are there celebrating with me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playwire?

Honestly,I once had an account manager who was not entirely on the ball about finding the best opportunities for me and my business. But fortunately, just as I was thinking this, Playwire replaced my account manager with someone far more responsive and proactive. Not coincidentally, my revenue began some great increases around that time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent turn-key advertising network for publishers"
What do you like best about Playwire?

Playwire makes it super easy to get ads up and running on your website, and they even support apps and the latest Web based tech. Always responsive and helpful with support requests as well ❤️ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Playwire?

I wish there was a bit more transparency in direct sales deals and ad mix, floor targeting, etc. A solution that is data driven and machine learning based which requires no manual ad tag placements would also be a great next step. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
