Quantcast describes a performance DSP
Quantcast describes an advertising platform for performance marketers, according to its homepage and platform pages checked on 2026-10-31.
- Platform role: performance DSP for the Open Internet (vendor, checked 2026-10-31).
- Intended audience: brands, agencies, and publishers (platform overview, checked 2026-10-31).
- Campaign scope: management from planning through reporting (homepage, checked 2026-10-31).
- Support resource: Help Center (homepage, checked 2026-10-31).
Brands and publishers meet through campaigns
The vendor presents Quantcast as a digital marketing and advertising platform for brands, agencies, and publishers.
Gambling and betting offers are restricted or prohibited by law in some countries, and age limits, licensing and permitted regions differ by jurisdiction; check the network's own rules and local law before running any traffic. This is not legal advice.
The homepage lists agencies, DTC, retail, ticketing, tourism, travel, gaming, finance, B2B, and B2C among its industries. Its campaign description covers planning through reporting, while the wiki describes programmatic advertising under a single goal.
The vendor lists CTV, audio, video, display, mobile, and native as advertising channels.
Audience Graph informs the Q suite
Audience Graph is described as the core of Quantcast’s advertising platform, while Q is presented as an integrated AI suite for campaign performance. The vendor says Audience Graph uses live audience intent to identify, reach, and convert customers.
The provider also says Audience Graph analyzes real-time intent signals. It describes AI support for audience discovery, campaign optimization, and omnichannel orchestration. These are vendor descriptions of platform functions, not evidence about affiliate tracking.
The Q suite consists of Agent Q, Analysis by Q, Audience by Q, and Creative by Q, according to the platform page checked on 2026-10-31.
The trial has no stated minimum
Quantcast’s Measure page says the product is free to publishers. The same page says it is used by 100 million global web destinations every day. This is a vendor statement about Measure, not a pricing term for campaign buying.
The platform overview states that there are no minimums and that a 30-day free trial requires no credit card, according to the page checked on 2026-10-31. These trial terms are presented separately from the publisher-facing Measure claim.
Before proceeding, establish which product the pricing statement applies to and what campaign access entails.
Campaign tools span planning to reporting
The vendor describes a workflow that manages campaigns from planning through reporting. It also calls the advertising platform self-serve. Together, those descriptions frame the product as a campaign-buying tool, not an affiliate payout workflow.
Before launch, Creative by Q provides an AI-powered score for ads, according to the platform overview. The source describes a pre-launch scoring function; it does not establish campaign outcomes.
For reporting, the vendor says users can select ready-to-use reports or build custom views with Report Builder and API integrations. It also describes attribution and reporting across browsers, with or without cookies.
Campaign buying leaves affiliate mechanics out

Several details are missing; they are listed under What we could not confirm.

- Quantcast lists CTV, audio, video, display, mobile, and native as advertising channels. The vendor also offers cookieless advertising solutions.

Compare direct programs by deal mechanics
A direct affiliate program and an advertising platform serve different buying arrangements. Compare them by whether they provide access to offers, how payment terms are set, and who handles tracking. Ask each provider to explain the deal flow and reporting responsibilities before choosing a setup.
The platform fits campaign-led buying
The vendor describes its advertising platform as self-serve. The vendor describes its platform as managing campaigns from planning through reporting.
The product descriptions identify brands, agencies, and publishers as audiences, but do not define a publisher’s deal with an advertiser.
What we could not confirm
- Terms and restrictions: the applicable rules and usage conditions.
- CPA arrangements: offer access, commissions, and program conditions.
- Publisher payments: currencies, withdrawal methods, minimums, schedules, and holds.
- Traffic eligibility: permitted GEOs, sources, registration, and moderation criteria.
- Tracking: affiliate tracking, postback, and API specifications.
- Support: channels and response terms beyond the listed Help Center.
Questions about Audience Graph and Measure
What does Audience Graph do?
Audience Graph is described as the core of Quantcast’s advertising platform.
What does Measure cost publishers?
The vendor states that Quantcast Measure is free to publishers. The same page says it is used by 100 million global web destinations every day. That statement concerns Measure and should not be read as a campaign-buying price or a publisher commission term.
What does the platform overview say about its trial?
The platform overview states that there are no minimums and that a 30-day free trial requires no credit card. Those are the overview page’s stated trial terms; they are separate from the publisher-facing Measure pricing statement.
Does targeting work with cookies?
The platform overview says audience targeting is supported with or without cookies. The vendor separately describes attribution and reporting across browsers, also with or without cookies. These descriptions concern platform targeting and reporting, not affiliate postbacks.
Which support resource does Quantcast list?
Quantcast’s homepage lists a Help Center as a support resource. The listing identifies a place to find help, but does not describe other support channels or response terms.
Choose by campaign role, not label
Fits if… the buying task is campaign-led and matches the vendor’s stated self-serve advertising workflow.
Probably not if… the starting requirement is an established CPA offer and commission model; the available product descriptions instead frame Quantcast as a performance DSP and advertising platform.
Main risk… treating campaign tools as proof of affiliate deal mechanics. Establish the commercial arrangement and tracking model before proceeding.
