We have just implemented Vungle into one of our apps… (actually more than one app, but only one is live so far). Based on the results though I may have to rethink the other apps inclusion of Vungle.
Here are the results on Android which is the 99% source of our income. Apple sux for us for now:
Day 1 = Views 84 = Completes 84 = $0.50
Day 2 = Views 133 = Completes 133 = $0.0
Day 3 = Views 97 = Completes 97 = $0.0
So at this rate it seems I will continue to deliver views to the ad network Vungle, but they will not be paying me anything. Hmmmm… not what I signed up for and not what I expected.
This is by far the worst Ad network result I have seen in our apps.
Any one else have similar very poor results from Vungle?
Does anyone have an alternative suggestion perhaps that works with Corona Pro?
I am the Community Manager here at Vungle – so sorry about this! Let me see if I can help clear this up for you:
Most of our campaigns are CPI-based or performance based so users have to install apps from the ads before you see revenue. Due to this, once you get more impressions/views you will start to see consistent revenue. Our worldwide eCPM average is $4-$12 so once you have a larger sample size you will begin to see the results.

I do still intend to let it ride for a bit before making any decisions one way or another.
Yes, we can and will send more traffic to Vungle, but I was not keen on pulling it away from better paying sources until I saw if it was a goer. You certainly don’t need massive amounts of traffic to test. At least that has been my experience with other networks.
Hmmm…I thought that Vungle pays us by CPI. Perhaps I am still too new, but yesterday 1 CPI (I think) gave us $1.00 with one app and $.75 with the other. Today, there are currently 14 installations and only got $0.01?? Interesting.
Does Vungle only pay when the app is installed only after watching the entire video (15 secs) or does it matter? Anyone knows?
On a related note - I had a query with Vungle about revenue reporting and they responded quickly and professionally. I have nothing but praise for them.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I saw that and that was why I was wondering. At any rate, we’ll have to stick around for a while to see I guess. However, I really like the video ads though; they’re really nice.
I thought I had better update this given I started the thread and the title may paint a pessimistic outcome.
I can say that the low traffic test has continued and the results have settled down nicely. Like I said before, you don’t need huge traffic to do the tests.
