Pixalate's Top CTV App Developer Rankings analyze the quality of CTV app developers in relation to programmatic advertising inventory across multiple platforms, regions, and categories. Fox News, TelevisaUnivision Interactive, Pluto TV were among the leaders in April 2023 on Roku.

LONDON, June 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pixalate, the market-leading fraud protection, privacy, and compliance analytics platform for Connected TV (CTV) and Mobile Advertising, today launched the inaugural Top Developer Rankings for CTV across Roku and Amazon Fire TV. The report ranks the world's Connected TV (CTV) app developers, bringing transparency to the programmatic advertising ecosystem.

Pixalate's Top Developer Rankings build on the Publisher Trust Index, which provides ratings for individual CTV apps that support programmatic advertising. These rankings are based on multiple factors, including invalid traffic (IVT), popularity, ad density, and engagement scores.

Often in programmatic advertising, buyers and sellers partner with app developers rather than individual apps. The new Top Developer Rankings provides an aggregated analysis of a developer's portfolio of apps, aiding ad tech companies in their advertising inventory partner evaluations.

1. Fox News
