Three apps, Pluto TV, Plex, and YuppTV, earned the top three positions in the CTV EMEA Publisher Trust Indexes in July 2021 on both Roku and Amazon Fire TV. It is the first time the top three publishers have been the same on both the Roku and Amazon rankings since Pixalate launched the classifications for the best quality apps for advertisers in April.
Pluto TV topped both Roku and Amazon Fire TV rankings by an excellent and versatile performance across all measured metrics. It is the only app achieving the highest mark "A" in all categories in classifications for both platforms. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Pluto TV scored 99 in Ad Density and Engagement metrics in both EMEA CTV rankings in July 2021.
Plex reached second position in both CTV EMEA rankings. The app achieved it by good all-around performance. Plex was particularly strong in the Invalid Traffic (IVT) and Ad Density metrics, earning "A's" in both metrics in both the Amazon Fire TV and Roku rankings.
YuppTV obtained the third position in the CTV EMEA rankings on both platforms. Even though the app ranked lower in Popularity Score, it performed well in qualitative metrics, which resulted in high placement in the Publisher Trust Indexes. It is worth noting that YuppTV achieved remarkable results in the IVT metrics and scored 97 and 94 in this category in Roku and Amazon Fire TV rankings, respectively.
