A short decision guide.
Start with White Label DSP if
- You want to be live fast — 24 hours, not a week.
- You'd rather have a predictable monthly cost than a capital outlay.
- You haven't yet proven the business and want to test the market.
- You don't need to modify the platform.
Move to DSP License if
- The business is proven and the monthly fee is no longer the efficient way to pay.
- You want ownership and greater infrastructure control.
- You need the add-on capabilities — ADX integration, DMP integration, the Claude AI plugins, the White Label Reseller plugin.
- You don't need source code.
Go to DSP Acquisition if
- You need to modify the platform itself.
- You want full infrastructure control.
- You intend to redistribute the technology (only available here).
- You want no recurring platform fee at all.
A sensible path
Most operators shouldn't buy at the top on day one. Start on White Label, prove the model with real advertisers, then convert to License or Acquisition once volume justifies it. Nothing is lost by starting small — the platform is the same.
If cash flow is the constraint rather than commitment, the 5× installment options exist precisely for that. See Installment plans.
