Published AdX onboarding time: Setupad (5-10 days) vs H&T Gaming (5-10 days)

Setupad documents around 5-10 days from site list to a live Google Ad Manager setup; H&T Gaming documents around 5-10 days. These are vendor-published estimates, not measurements taken by this site, and publisher reviews report variation in both directions depending on site quality and policy review.

Weigh onboarding time against what you lose while waiting. At 400,000 monthly pageviews and a $6 AdX eCPM, an extra week without approval is roughly $560 of unrealised revenue — relevant if you are already monetising, less so if you are still building traffic.

MCM model and who owns the Google Ad Manager network

Setupad is documented as Prebid Manage Account; H&T Gaming runs as Manage Account. Manage Account keeps the network, reporting and ad units in the publisher's own Google Ad Manager, which matters if you want direct deals or your own header bidding wrapper later. Manage Inventory hands that control to the partner in exchange for a fully managed service.

Choose the model that matches your ad ops capacity rather than the one that scores higher here.
