SmartyAds Reviews 26

To sum up briefly - this platform is quite a solid choice for media-buying automation. It works especially well with banner, video, rich media, and native campaigns in my case. You can grasp the dashboard intuitively I'd say, which is very convenient because now, when I got used to it, I launch campaigns in mere 10 minutes. Targeting options are also great. When it comes to budget settings you can set up daily limit to avoid overspending and it will set for you the optimal bidding pace. Plus, I also want to mention that on their platform, you can configure auto-rules for better source selection and turn on the click booster function, which will augment the number of clicks. Overall, I should say the platform is decent, and it definitely makes my life easier.

Looks like a good system. Too bad you have to setup an account to find out that the minimum spend is $100 per day. Not for small guys like me.

You also need to be ready to deposit $1000 to get started. Seems like a lot to try a new marketing strategy for a small business.

SmartyAds DSP media-buying tool automates ad campaigns for our agency that works with brands directly. The great thing is that the platform is very intuitive, it doesn’t require specific knowledge to tune and navigate it. No matter if a client wants to advertise only on specific sites, spend a fixed amount of money per day, or hit only certain audiences at a particular time and venue - this is easy to organize with 30+ targeting options and extensive filters. The platform works with desktop, in-app, mobile, CTV and variety of formats. All these features help to suit each ad campaign to individual KPI and goals. Their support team is always friendly and ready to help in all situations. Good job

“We connected on the Supply Side Server one year ago and then we did not get any ads because Smartyads told us that we must have 5000 impressions before they start sending ads.
Now after one year we have 16.000 ad requests from our app daily so we activated the connection to the Smartyads server again. There is a certain amount of work and money needed to do so but anyhow being assured that we would get ads we though it was a good solution.

After having done the connection and got it approved by Smartyads (this is done through letting you access the panel where you register inventory), we started awaiting the ads.

No ad was delivered by Smartyads.

After a couple of days both our development company (external) and ourselves wrote to their support email (no chat, no support ticket system). 3-4 passed and we went by without any answer from the support.

Finally I manage to find a number (1- country code, hinting that it was an American company, but it seems it is from Ukraine) and after having called two times Ii reached a person who told me that she didn’t know much about this. She spoke some English but far from perfect. She told me that she would talk to the support.

I waited a couple of days but got no answer. I sent an email to them again. Another day without answer, but then finally I got an answer and after that we exchange several emails.

First they said that the amount is too low, then that the .txt – files were missing, which they were not, then that we have chosen a category that “is wrong” (why is there a category you can chose that would block them from sending ads?) and then that they would report the problem to the COO.

We have exchanged 25 emails and they have no clue and it seems that no one cares. It should also be said that I wrote to their publishers email address two month ago without getting any answer at all.

There are so many ad servers out there and some are certainly serious so just avoid SmartyAds and you will be a happier person.”

I have my own e-commerce site with mobile accessories.Because of its low traffic, I was seeking the problem solution. Advertising was the only way out for me to get profit from my small business.
So, I had used SmartyAds self-serve programmatic demand-side platform for 7 months.
Firstly I started with minimum price and gradually increased because this platform showed a meaningful return on investments.
Besides, it's really easy to run campaigns and user interface is understandable. In addition, I received ad advanced targeting and account management team.

I use SmartyAds Demand Side Platform. Actually, I love working with this company. SmartyAds offers lots of benefits for their customers and all of them more or less are useful for me. For example, I advertise my blog about traveling, there was only about a thousand of visitor a few months ago, but for now, my traffic is constantly increasing, and more and more people from all over the world are coming to read my content. That's amazing.
Also, I had some questions about my advertising campaign, but I wrote on the email and get all the answers I needed.
And the big plus is that I can easily set up my campaign from scratch. I like the interface of the platform but it'd be better to make a bigger font in some places.
