BuddyAd Company Bio
BuddyAd was formed in the year 2016. It is owned by XLabora LTD, a company made by a group of entrepreneurs who has several years of experience in different sectors. Their main office is in Malta. After serious work, the team behind BuddyAd came up with a fantastic tool. The first widget based spy tool to find profitable ad placements with the help of widget/site id finder.
BuddyAd Features
Below are the features available on the BuddyAd spy tool:
- Widget based native spy tool. BuddyAd can identify the specific placements (widget IDs) where an ad is running and match it to the relative website. You can save money on a/b testing placements and having your ads run on bad placements.
- Duration of an ad and its landing pages. You can check how long an ad has been running and on what placements. This indicates if an ad is profitable or not. If it does then it will run for a longer time.
- Publishers constantly change widget IDs and content recommendation networks. BuddyAd keeps track for you of that and only shows widget IDs that are currently active.
- Directly search websites to run your ads onto from their database filtering by the content recommendation network they use, vertical, seo & traffic stats (monthly visitors, alexa rank, domain authority, bounce rate, backlinks, social shares, traffic by geo) and more.
- Filter ads by type, vertical, age, geo, device on 15 native traffic sources.
- You can find out if a campaign is profitable in other countries. You can get all the information on the banner page.
- BuddyAd has a “Real Time Scan” feature allows you to scan any publishers in the database in real-time to see which ads are running on it.
- You can add and scan websites on BuddyAd. Type in a website and they will return any widget IDs and ads running on it.
- Search widget IDs directly from BuddyAd database and match them with their relative websites.
- BuddyAd has also a widget finder for Pop ad networks and Adult ad networks with website lists and widget IDs, all included, at no additional charge for you.
- Spy on 34 ad networks, 14 countries and 31 affiliate networks.
- Cut off bad placements but discovering them on Buddyad and whitelisting good placements on your campaigns.
Pros
- I was responsible to always compare the code before applying on production and BuddyWorks allows me to save time every day. Your interface is beautiful and easy to use.
- With Buddy I was able to consolidate my deployment tools, and save money. The platform is super intuitive and more powerful than what we were using previously.
- Great product, I started to use it about a year ago and looking forward into new features, recommended to few friends with startup and they love it. Very nice design and many visual integrations.
Cons
- Might miss some integrations, or some integrations that weren't really up to speed with the average.
- Complicated build are failing randomly (with multiple additional serwices) without logs - cannot investigate why. It occurs as on machine on 20G memory as also on 60G (guys are working on that).
- There is no proper documentation or training videos on this tool.
BuddyAd Pricing & Packages
BuddyAd has only 1 package and it’s priced at €97.00 which is equivalent to something around $115. It’s comparatively cheap if you compare it with other native spy tools. Plus you will get pop/adult widget ID finder at no additional cost. That’s the reason I considered quite cheap as you are getting way more features with BuddyAd.
