• Sizmek by Amazon: Sizmek (now part of Amazon) is a legacy ad server and dynamic creative optimization platform. It is comparable as a direct competitor in third-party ad serving and dynamic creative, but operates at vastly larger scale as part of Amazon's ad business.

• Innovid: Innovid is an independent ad-tech company focused on CTV, video, and display creative serving and measurement. It competes directly with Aderize in CTV ad serving, dynamic creative optimization, and cross-screen campaign management.
