Permutive vs Yahoo DSP

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.

Permutive lists connections to identity and contextual providers, SSPs, CDPs, cloud platforms, ad servers, DSPs, curation marketplaces, and social media.

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.

Yahoo DSP is a demand-side platform for advertisers and agencies buying ad space on other companies’ sites and apps. Its campaign workflow covers planning, audience targeting, creative, curation, optimization and measurement across Connected TV, native, audio, digital out-of-home and display.

Planning features include cross-screen TV, digital out-of-home, supply-path and audience insights. Yahoo Blueprint supports campaign forecasting and optimization throughout the campaign lifecycle. Advertisers can connect their own agents through MCP or APIs, use Yahoo DSP agents, or combine the approaches; the DSP Agent Network also connects with partner AI agents. Audio campaigns can use Spotify music and podcast inventory, as well as partners including iHeartMedia, SiriusXM, Acast and Libsyn. Its REST API supports programmatic management of campaigns, targeting, deals and reports.
