Adelerate

One ad tag. Every demand source. More revenue.

Direct campaigns, server-side auction, and header bidding compete in a single decision layer — the transparent, publisher-side alternative to Google Ad Manager.

The problem

Fragmented stacks leak revenue.

Most publishers run three or four disconnected tools — one ad server for direct campaigns, a separate header bidding wrapper, a separate auction integration, and separate dashboards for each. Every handoff is a gap: missed impressions, conflicting rules, revenue that disappears between systems.

Three engines, one tag

Three revenue engines. One tag.

Direct Campaigns

Guaranteed and managed demand: priority delivery, pacing, frequency capping, creative rotation, scheduling, multi-currency CPM. Keep 100% of direct revenue with full control.

Server Auction

Server-side auction demand, native, no redirect latency. Set revenue share globally (flat or percentage) and override per bidder to match each partner’s terms. Supply chain (schain) support.

Header Bidding

The Adelerate Prebid Adapter is a registered Prebid.js bidder adapter. Add it to your existing Prebid setup and header-bidding demand competes directly alongside direct and auction bids. Prebid Server supported. Amazon APS is a first-class bidder. Prebid Cache built in.

When all three compete for the same impression, there’s more value on the table — and PulseRank decides how to capture the most of it.

Video & Prebid

Real Prebid video. The part GAM leaves you to solve yourself.

Google Ad Manager doesn’t give publishers a real, controllable Prebid video path. Adelerate does — Prebid Cache for video and AMP is built in, video bids compete in the same unified decision layer as everything else, and VAST creatives are transcoded server-side.

PulseRank

An auction picks a price. PulseRank makes a decision.

Highest-bid-wins leaves money on the table. PulseRank is a decision layer: advanced proprietary algorithms, in combination with AI, weigh every impression on far more than price — and deliver it the way that earns the most over a period of time, not just the most in the next second.*

It continuously adapts to real-time performance. It doesn’t just report what happened — it changes what happens next.

Horizon

Forecasting that warns.

Horizon is forward-looking revenue forecasting: next-hour predictions, projected daily totals, configurable granularity. See revenue dips before they land — act early instead of reading about it in the end-of-day report.

Positioning

Built publisher-side. No conflict of interest.

vs Google Ad Manager

GAM is powerful but opaque: no visibility into auction internals, no control over optimization logic. Adelerate gives you full transparency and AI optimization you can see working.

vs Separate HB + Ad Server

Running Prebid separately from your ad server means decisions made in silos. Here, all demand competes together, every time.

vs SSP-only

SSPs optimize for their own demand. Adelerate is publisher-side: we optimize your total revenue, including your own direct deals.
