VERDICT

Should I use Propelmedia?

Not disclosed - propelmedia.com

Depends. Only fit for affiliate/performance advertisers buying cheap desktop CPC/CPM traffic who will test small and blind. Brand advertisers or anyone needing published pricing, user reviews, or security transparency should not buy.

Confidence

Low. Based on ~20 public sources; zero completed user reviews found, so verdict is low confidence.
