What is compared
Each network is described on the same three points, so readers can compare like with like.
- Entry requirements. Traffic minimums and eligibility rules for websites, supported platforms and store rules for apps.
- Ad formats. Only formats the network names on its own pages.
- Payout terms. Threshold, schedule, and payout methods.
The two-of-three rule
A network is listed only when its official pages state at least two of those three points. This keeps the tables free of guesses. A network with one stated term and two blanks does not make the list.
Where the figures come from
The review reads each network's publisher page and help center directly. Figures are never taken from third-party reviews, forums, or agency blogs, and every network entry links to the pages used. When a network states a term in two places and the two disagree, the term is left out and the gap is noted.
How verdicts are reached
Every verdict is an editorial judgment built only on the stated terms: entry rules, formats, and payouts. No verdict relies on revenue per thousand impressions, fill rate, or earnings claims, because networks do not publish those in a comparable form. Nothing on this site promises or implies earnings.
How current the figures are
All figures were checked on Oct 9, 2026, and each page shows that date. Some networks change their terms often. Ezoic, for example, set a 250,000 monthly active user requirement for sites added after Feb 19, 2026. The network's own page is the final word before applying.
Networks left out
These networks did not meet the two-of-three rule on the pages that could be read.
- Media.net: only ad formats are stated.
- Mediavine: its own pages give different entry conditions, an annual ad revenue figure on one page and session thresholds on others, and no formats or payout terms.
- Raptive: only the entry threshold is stated.
- Sovrn: no threshold, formats, or payout terms appear on the pages checked.
- Taboola: formats are described only in general terms.
- Amazon Publisher Services: the page could not be read automatically, so it could not be verified.
- Outbrain: its publishers link redirects to a Teads page that does not mention Outbrain.
- AppLovin MAX: MAX is not described on the page checked, and only a payment schedule was found.
A network returns to the list when its pages state enough to meet the rule.
Independence and commercial connections
Yango Ads and Yandex Advertising Network have a commercial connection with this site. Both are held to the same two-of-three rule and the same verdict criteria as every other network. Details are on the disclosure page.
Corrections
An out-of-date figure can be reported to [email protected] with the page and the network's own source. Each report is reviewed against these rules.
