Adform DMP vs Permutive

Adform DMP is an enterprise data management platform for brands and publishers. It gathers data from multiple sources, joins identifiers across devices and sessions, and builds single customer views that teams can use to segment, model, and activate audiences in real time. Collection options include tracking points, pixels, file and server uploads, batch uploads, API calls, and banner activity. Audience tools include profiles, lookalike modeling, and overlap analysis; Adform ID Fusion supports recognizing users across browsers, devices, and publishers while helping manage frequency and duplication. Destinations include Adform DSP and Ad Server, plus listed channels such as display, search, social, video, email, mobile, and CTV. Connections to Adform services depend on separate contracted services and pricing. Customers retain ownership and control of their data, and the service is described as designed for privacy and GDPR compliance. A standard account includes one data import integration and taxonomy setup unless otherwise agreed. Pricing is on request, with rates, event limits, and overage fees set in an order form.

Permutive combines a data management platform, clean room, curation, and first-party data activation for publishers, advertisers, agencies, and retail media leaders. It ingests first-party data from sites, apps, or CDPs to build a real-time audience graph, with audience segments based on behavioral, contextual, and demographic data. Its clean room supports collaboration with more than 150 publishers without data transfers, PII sharing, or code writing; advertisers can activate through more than 150 publishers and SSPs using one Deal ID. The clean room can run on Google Cloud, Snowflake, Databricks, and Azure. Permutive lists connections to identity and contextual providers, SSPs, CDPs, cloud platforms, ad servers, DSPs, curation marketplaces, and social media. The company says its Edge technology processes data on-device, and that processing for its vertical publisher solution complies with GDPR, CCPA, and other global regulations. It has completed SOC 2 and SOC 3 audits. The company was founded in 2014 and is based in London. Pricing is on request; there is no free plan or trial. Supported platforms are Android, iOS, and web.
