Facebook Leads Ad Networks For Offering Rewarded Video

TEL AVIV, Israel - June 26th, 2019 - SOOMLA, one of the well known industry leaders in mobile ad measurement and insights, has released their first Monetization Benchmark report for the year 2019.

This report offers an in-depth comparison of the Monetization levels that were collected from hundreds of apps along with the ranking of monetization providers in the mobile industry.

By providing accurate mobile app monetization benchmarks about first impression eCPM and overall average eCPM, SOOMLA aims to deliver all parties critical data for negotiating deals in relation to this. Unbiased data featured in these reports can be easily utilized by both domestic as well as international ad networks, advertisers as well as publishers.

All of this data mentioned in the report is based on information that is collected through the SOOMLA platform i.e. from over 100 million users and more than 2.1 billion impressions in eight countries over a span of 3 months from January of 2019 to March 2019.

The data presented by SOOMLA’s analysts is unique and not commonly accessible by everyone as the majority of the mobile apps today are already utilizing advertising as a primary monetization channel.

However, most mobile app developers only know the average eCPM rates that they earn, but are not aware of what is occurring in the rest of the mobile app industry and are often not even exposed to the entire data about the ads that are being placed in their own applications.

Yaniv Nizan, Co-founder and CEO of SOOMLA, stated,

“SOOMLA's mission is to continue and provide publishers with unique In-App Advertising Insights. This is becoming increasingly important in today's world.”

Key Findings From The Report

The Rewarded video type seems to offer the highest eCPM in comparison to the in-app interstitials. This report also shows that Facebook leads the ad networks for offering this ad type as far as impression volume goes.

With that being said, unlike in the US as well as in non-US countries, Facebook doesn’t offer the most competitive eCPM amongst the leading networks of the IT sector.

Additionally, the report has a section dedicated to the top-performing advertisers per ad type and platform. Ad-networks can accurately see exactly which advertisers are buying aggressively for each and every ad format and platform, while publishers can gain valuable insights into which advertisers are an appropriate fit for direct deals per ad format as well as for the platform.

Latest insights from Soomla show that the rewarded video generated the highest eCPM globally during Q1 2019, knocking out interstitials. Facebook clearly leads the ad networks offering this ad type – especially in the US.

The report also shows there are a few advertisers who repeatedly show up on the “top 10 advertiser list” across different ad formats and platforms.
