Top Rated Broadstreet Alternatives
The creativity and customer service that Broadstreet brings to the table is amazing. I have occasionally suggested new ad units to them and they've developed them and made them available to me - and the rest of their customers - within 24-36 hours. Kenny and his team are, in no uncertain terms, ad tech pioneers. They just bring an immediate understanding and mastery to the table with respect to all the varied business models that are popping up throughout the online news industry. They know what works and why, and they available all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's nothing that I can honestly think of that I dislike about Broadstreet. The fees are more than reasonable for the amount of flexibility and service they provide. I've used a lot of ad servers over the years but eventually settled here because they have built their service around the needs of publishers like us. That dedication to our mission is unique in the ad serving / ad tech industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Broadstreet is very easy to use and it's provide us a vast options of selections that we can use in our offices. The features are very easy to use and one can understand the same easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes broadstreet lags in between and it stucks at one page. We have to forcefully close the tool and open it again to restart things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Broadstreet provides a suite of options for publishers to accommodate advertisers of all sizes and needs, and detailed, automated reporting on all activities. They are a small team with very engaged support staff, and they made integration absolutely streamlined and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While asset import is fairly streamlined, there is room for improvement. Ad placement has a small learning curve, and content tagging could be a little more intuitive. That said, it's able to work for most publishers with some tweaks from the broadstreet team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The upsides:
Quick human tech support with timely response throughout the conversation either by email, phone, or video meeting.
Over 100 interesting, dynamic ad templates
Automatic, comprehensive reporting sent directly to clients
1-2 ads sold and you break even on monthly fee
Incredible engagement and clicks on some of the ad zones (billboard, pop-out/sneaker, leaderboard)
The amazing cube is a game-changer template.
You can design an ad in the platform and send client an example of the ad, plus a link to preview how it looks on the page (before going live)
This is a bazillion times easier than using Google ads or Adsense Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Downsides (but they won't make me leave):
Learning curve is slow. There is simply too much to learn at one or two onboarding sessions. You think you know it all and then something comes up that is just not intuitive.
It is very hard to explain to potential clients. You almost have to decide which two or three formats to offer to them. It is impossible to say, here are the 109 choices that you have, which one do you want. And there are so many great choices.
Starting/stopping campaigns vs switching out artwork can be confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Tiffany and the 'Frontdesk' are my go-to! They provide excellent customer support and are super friendly and professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing that I can think of is that there are so many options, I'm sometimes overwhelmed with all the choices I have. But I appreciate that they also help me quickly and in a friendly, supportive way (never making me feel dumb for asking). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of use. Creating ads and campaigns is effortless. With fantastic quality and excellent reporting for our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have yet to discover a downside. I doubt, based on my experience, that there is a downside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The thing I like most is the responsiveness to emails. I'm a small publisher muddling through the advertising sales world, and having someone to ask questions is critical. Also, the system is flexible, intuitive, and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't a lot I dislike about the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Broadstreet platform is very intuitive. The learning curve is not steep. And the customer service is excellent. The Broadstreet team responds quickly to both simple queries and complicated technical questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing really. Perhaps more details related to each ad format — what platforms they work best on, options and controls available on each ad, but it's really very intuitive overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Can I choose more than 1? I like the easy functionality of the program and the ads, but also that they can be customized to be more complex if you wish. The service has been exceptional as well whether it be a basic question or much more complex coding to customize an ad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To be completely honest, I have sat here for a moment or two trying to think of something that could use improvement, but I can't come up with anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When I reach out to our Broadstreet representative, Tiffany, she is always helpful and quick to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike the fact that we cannot schedule campaigns with gaps in between run dates. For instance, if I have an ad that is running every other week, I cannot schedule one week on, one week off, one week on, one week off, etc. I have to schedule a separate campaign for each week the campaign is running. It would be great if we could just click on the dates that we want and leave off the dates that we don't want so that we can schedule campaigns like this further ahead.
