Admiral alternatives

8 tools scored in the same category. Admiral currently scores highest in this category at 4.4/5.

Ranked by independent composite score, not by payment. Nobody on this page paid to be here.

Before you switch — what Admiral does well

  • Partnerships with prominent publishers including CNBC, Washington Times, and Seattle Times
  • Particularly effective at recovering lost ad revenue
  • Comprehensive analytics measuring revenue losses and user demographics by device and browser

And where it was marked down

  • Less popular adblock extensions can still slip through detection
  • Pricing is performance-based (revenue share) with no published fixed tiers, so total cost scales with recovered/earned revenue and isn't easy to estimate upfront
  • Adblock recovery as a standalone is revenue-share based, which may cost more for high-revenue publishers

Common questions

On Benchmark Grid's independent scoring, Ad-Shield is the highest-scoring alternative in Best Adblock Recovery Software at 4.1/5, against Admiral at 4.4/5. Which is right for you depends on your publication's size, revenue model and vertical.

Why would a publisher move away from Admiral?

Our editors flagged: Less popular adblock extensions can still slip through detection; Pricing is performance-based (revenue share) with no published fixed tiers, so total cost scales with recovered/earned revenue and isn't easy to estimate upfront; Adblock recovery as a standalone is revenue-share based, which may cost more for high-revenue publishers. Whether those matter depends on your setup — many publishers run Admiral successfully despite them.
