VERDICT

Should I use Publift?

Your website is unique. Your ad strategy and technology should be too. Trade cookie-cutter approaches and self-managing for deep and personalised ad strategy. - publift.com

Depends. Buy if you run a content site with substantial traffic and no in-house ad ops — documented 40–96% revenue uplifts. Small or early-stage publishers should stay on AdSense; approval minimums and a managed-service model make it overkill below that scale.
