SSP Comparison

Stellor Media vs. TripleLift — Which SSP is Right for Your Site?

Comparing a full-format publisher SSP against a native-specialized platform for web publisher monetization.

TripleLift is a programmatic advertising company that specializes in native advertising formats. Founded in 2012, TripleLift built its business around a technology that assembles native ad components — images, headlines, descriptions — and renders them to match publisher page designs. TripleLift has expanded beyond native to include commerce, CTV, and programmatic guaranteed capabilities.

TripleLift is widely used by premium publishers for native advertising specifically. Their native technology renders high-quality in-feed and content-recommendation units that blend naturally with editorial content.

StellorMedia is a full-format publisher SSP covering display, video, native, and sticky ad formats. While not native-only, Stellor's OpenRTB Native support means publishers can access competitive native demand through Stellor alongside display and video monetization in a single SSP integration.

Note: TripleLift information is based on publicly available documentation. Features and requirements may change.
