3.5 / 5Frequently Asked Questions About Ezoic
Ezoic vs Google AdSense — which pays more?
Ezoic typically pays 50-300% more than AdSense because of AI optimization that tests thousands of ad placement combinations. Most publishers see significant RPM improvements switching from AdSense to Ezoic, especially in niches like finance, business, and technology.
When should I switch from Ezoic to Mediavine?
When you reach Mediavine's 50,000 session minimum, it's worth applying. Mediavine generally pays higher RPMs than Ezoic and has better publisher support. However, Ezoic is a solid monetization option for growing sites below that threshold.
