About Freestar
Freestar manages the full ad stack for large publishers, typically a million monthly pageviews and up, with engineering support, direct demand and a negotiated revenue share paid NET-30. It competes with Raptive and Playwire at the top end of independent publishing rather than with the entry-level networks.
Pros
- Deep demand and yield engineering for large sites
- NET-30 with negotiated share at volume
Cons
- Effectively a million pageviews or more to be considered
- Not for small publishers
