Question Difference between Unity Ads, Iron Source & Unity Level Play. What road should I take?

    I am confused as to what each service represents.

    I use Unity Ads in my games, and it appeared on my console that Unity Ads would soon be unsupported. Then I got a banner saying to update my version of Unity Ads.

    I made an IronSource account to migrate the service there, but it's a lot more complex than installing the Unity Ads package.

    On the other hand Unity Level Play what is it?

    I want to continue maintaining my games with VR but I don't know which is the right path to take, so as not to make multiple changes in the future.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Hi @husher ,
    I'll clarify the naming convention. UnityAds and ironSource recently merged and the ad mediation platform/SDK is now called Levelplay.

    Once you migrate your build to levelplay mediation and implement the code, any additional ad network you would like to add will mostly need just an pre made adapter to function. From the levelplay dashboard you can control how this waterfall of networks is optimized and have all your metrics and revenue in one dashboard.

    If you have any specific technical or account questions about this migration, please create a support ticket:

    Ok, so the ironSource dashboard would be the levelplay dashboard? Why didn't you change the name to make it more clear?
    And is there a possibility to test the ads like we used to do with Unity Ads inside Unity?

    Sorry for the lot of questions :) and Thanks!!

    Those 33 dollars should still be tied to your UnityAds account/platform.

    Levelplay mediation currently only pays out for ironSource network. The LP performance dashboard only aggregates performance KPIs of networks utilizing the mediation SDK. So if your 33 dollars wasn't through LP mediation, then that metric will stay on that particular network.

    All revenue earned from networks on mediation (Adcolony, applovin, unityads etc) be paid out on those respective platforms.

    Hope that clears it up.
