Adxerv Audio review
An audio-focused ad server with server-side insertion, targeting and event-level reporting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Adxerv Audio serves audio ads in podcast and music-streaming inventory through server-side insertion. It is aimed at advertisers, agencies, ad networks and publishers that need pre-roll, mid-roll or post-roll placements, with a clickable companion image available alongside audio. Its focus is a fit for teams managing audio inventory; buyers seeking a general-purpose ad server across a wider range of formats may prefer a broader platform.
The format and measurement features are closely aligned with audio campaigns. Adxerv supports DAAST and VAST audio responses, targeting by time of day, geography, genre and device, and listen-through events for starts, quartiles and completions. Audio and video campaigns can share frequency capping, while delivery reporting is available in real time and event-level exports provide more granular records. Integrations include a Reporting API, event-level log export, conversion pixels, server-to-server postbacks and webhooks. This makes the product relevant when audio delivery and listening events are central requirements, rather than an add-on to a broader display workflow.
According to the vendor's pricing page, Launch (Pay as you go) has no monthly fee and charges $0.035 per 1,000 impressions; it includes 20 ad requests per impression and shared throughput with an approximately 200 QPS burst. The page also specifies a minimum $50 activation wallet top-up. Growth costs $100 per month with a $0.02 CPM serving rate and 1,000 QPS committed; Scale costs $299 per month with a $0.012 CPM rate and 5,000 QPS committed, burstable. The paid monthly tiers suit teams needing committed throughput and lower serving rates, while Launch offers usage-based billing. Pick Adxerv Audio when audio insertion and event-level measurement matter most; look elsewhere if broader format coverage is the priority.
