Plex and PlutoTV achieved the top spots in Pixalate Publisher Trust Indexes for Roku and Amazon Fire TV, respectively, in EMEA in June 2021.
Plex obtained the No. 1 position in the Roku ranking with a versatile performance in all measured metrics. In addition, it is worth noting that the app scored well in categories such as Invalid Traffic (89), Popularity (99), and Ad Density (95).
Amazon Fire TV rankings has the same leader for the third month in a row: PlutoTV. PlutoTV stays at the top with consistent, high scores in all metrics. In June 2021, the app achieved perfect scores of 99 in the Popularity, Ad Density, and Engagement categories.
Besides the leading two described above, there are many other quality apps for advertisers worth considering. For example, YuppTV was one of only three apps (Plex and America’s Voice News being the others), that secured a spot in both the Roku and Amazon EMEA CTV rankings.
Despite a lower grade in popularity, YuppTV scored well in qualitative metrics, especially in the Invalid Traffic category. It scored a noteworthy 96 in this metric in both Roku and Amazon Fire TV classifications.

Per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes. Also per the MRC, “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.”
