Analyze waterfall and network performance faster

A single waterfall gives you a quick snapshot of key metrics – like target vs actual eCPM, revenue, and fill rate by network – so you can optimize your strategies faster.

Bidding calls available networks simultaneously, with the winning impression granted to the highest bid, meaning less work for you to set, review, and optimize targets by network.

Waterfall mediation for maximum control

Ad mediation is a waterfall management tool that enables multiple ad networks to compete for impressions, increasing opportunities to fill ads and drive more revenue for publishers. All this is done through a single Unity Mediation SDK with network adapter updates directly from the Unity Editor to make your experience hassle-free.

In-app bidding for more flexibility

Bidding, also known as in-app bidding, is a component of mediation that allows for top networks who partner with Unity to compete in real time for impressions. Use bidding on its own or in conjunction with traditional line items in mediation to create sophisticated monetization strategies for your game or app.

Hybrid solutions for sophisticated strategies

A hybrid setup uses both waterfalls and bidding to maximize revenue. Network calls are still prioritized from highest to lowest target eCPM, but one response is returned from all participants in bidding. This is then inserted among the manual mediation line items. A network can participate in waterfalls or bidding but not both at the same time.

Frequently asked questions

I already use Unity Ads. Can I use Unity Mediation?

Yes! Unity Mediation still gives you access to Unity’s quality demand network (Unified Auction), as well as the option to add more network demand into your game. Unity Mediation tools exist in the Monetize Dashboard where you are already managing your monetization strategies and reports. Check out our technical docs on for more details.

What networks does Unity Mediation provide access to?

Unity’s traditional waterfall includes top networks such as Unity’s Unified Auction, Unity Ads, AdMob, ironSource, AppLovin, AdColony, and Vungle. Unity’s bidding currently includes Meta Audience Network and AdColony. Continue to check back for updates on any new available networks.

How is Mediation different from Unified Auction?

Unity’s Unified Auction refers to Unity’s network which includes access to over 60+ demand sources through direct partnerships. With Unity Mediation, you not only get access to the networks available in the waterfall, but you also get access to a wide arrangement of networks through the Unified Auction demand.
