Integral Ad Science

Ad verification and brand safety platform measuring viewability, fraud and content suitability, DoubleVerify's main rival.

Integral Ad Science (IAS) does the same core job as DoubleVerify: independent, third-party measurement of whether a paid ad impression was viewable, delivered to a real person rather than fraudulent traffic, and placed in a brand-safe and suitable context, rather than measuring whether the campaign drove business outcomes. It works across programmatic display, video, CTV, audio and social placements through tags applied at the creative or ad-server level, and reports against MRC-accredited viewability and fraud standards. IAS and DoubleVerify are the two dominant independent verification vendors and are frequently run side by side or swapped between by the same advertiser depending on platform coverage and contract terms, rather than being differentiated by fundamentally different methodology.
