Pros and Cons

They have MoPub Analytics to get inventory stats.
Their AM team is very supportive.

Not a lot of premium publishers on the platfrom, mostly gaming.
Discrepancies keep arising between impressions served and billing numbers.
Support Rating
8
MoPub's support is really good. Their team is knowledgeable on their product and the programmatic ecosystem in general and they are very helpful. The only 2 things that I would point out would be that their response times are not very fast and that there is a lot of rotation on the account management team.
