is it against TOS to A/B test admob with another sdk

[Romain Bitard]

Hello,

is it authorized to A/B test admob and another sdk (like applovin or w/e) ? 

Or will I risk getting my account banned ?

Cordially,

Romain

Hi Romain,

Thank you for reaching out. I understand your concern about keeping your account safe while optimizing your revenue.

Rest assured, you are authorized to A/B test AdMob against other SDKs (like AppLovin). We actually support this practice to help publishers maximize their earnings.

To ensure this is done safely and accurately, I recommend using AdMob Mediation combined with our A/B Testing feature. This setup ensures you remain compliant with Google's policies while comparing different networks.

For detailed steps on setting this up, please refer to this Help Center article: A/B testing for AdMob Network.

Note: To avoid policy violations, simply ensure you do not generate invalid activity (such as clicking live ads on your own device) while testing.

I hope this clarifies the situation. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks,

Thank you for your response.

In my use case I can't use this A/B testing feature since it's using two different mediation SDK and not just ad units.

I'm not sure how can one do this easily though, I guess I'll have to implement both sdk and use firebase to segment my users.

Have a great day

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

Your plan to implement both SDKs and use Firebase for user segmentation is the best approach for this specific use case. If you face any issues during the implementation, please feel free to get back to us.
