In their own words
Chartboost Mediation
Chartboost Mediation is a free monetization platform for Android and iOS mobile apps. It uses bidding to increase competition for each ad impression and offers access to more than 50 demand sources. A unified auction runs real-time bidding and shows why a bid won. Developers can use bidding or waterfall setups, although individual partners may not support both. The dashboard filters performance by app, placement, ad type, network source, country, and date range, and supports custom reports. One-click A/B tests compare bidding, non-bidding, and other monetization arrangements. Chartboost bidding supports banner, rewarded video, and interstitial ads. Mediation SDK integrations are listed for Android and iOS version 5.4.0 and Unity version 5.3.0. Chartboost says there are no demand fees for bidding partners. Setup includes a free platform account, app imports, network selection, placements, ad groups, and SDK integration.
