Adform DSP vs The Trade Desk

Adform DSP is a web-based demand-side platform for buying advertising across display, video, connected TV (CTV), audio, mobile, in-app, and digital out-of-home (DOOH) channels. Its buying model supports both listed options, and it provides access to multiple inventory sources. Targeting can use first-, second-, and third-party audience data; geography from country through ZIP code; hyperlocal or proximity criteria; cross-device signals; and contextual, demographic, or venue-based criteria. Attribution reporting is supported. The platform serves global inventory, while its DOOH planner is initially launching across 15 markets. Adform is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. Pricing is paid and available on request, so teams will need to request pricing for their requirements.
