Freestar Reviews 23

Please I finished all my task they gave me ,for me to cash out I was ask to send it to group,which I did ,and the point never moved from 50% to 100 to turn Green ,please be real stop wasting peoples times and effort is bad of you

After years together in Sept they decided to close our contract cause I didn’t earn anymore enough money to stay with them. They told me that if I didn’t leave they took all the money for the fee cause the minimum now was 5000 dollars (amount that was not in the contract) Really a scam, don’t work with them are really bad people.

My question is are u giving money or is just for advertisement

The free star requirement for withdraw al stated i needed to refer 10 people, I referred 8 people but number of referrals was showing only 6. why?

I applied for a withdrawal yesterday and they say my application must be assessed by third parties so how long before payout ?

Update its been 36 hours still no pay out they said 24 😐

We’ve been partners with Freestar since early 2018, and from the initial sales call to implementation and ongoing support, the experience has been exceptional.

As the founder of I Love My Dog, a large site dedicated to dog owners, we initially tried managing programmatic ads in-house with ad ops contractors. However, it quickly became clear that this approach was both costly and inefficient. That’s when we sought a partner who could handle the heavy lifting, allowing us to focus on what really matters—publishing inspiring, viral content.

Freestar was a breath of fresh air. Unlike other ad companies that overpromise and underdeliver, Freestar not only kept their word but exceeded our expectations, consistently enhancing our experience. They were highly receptive to our feedback and implemented many of our suggestions.

Their team is exceptionally talented, and we’ve had the privilege of working closely with a dedicated account manager who provides personalized, hands-on support.

We’ve referred Freestar to many other large publishers, a recommendation we make with care. It reflects the deep trust and confidence we have in their capabilities.

Keep up the fantastic work, Freestar!

Their sales guy has wasted my 1 month. As asked by him, I terminated my contract with previous vendor and this guy fooled me.

this was a big loss in terms of revenue

worst sales guys.

they just make me fool for 2-3 months, He made several excuses: he is on leave, his friend died, his mom is not well and so on... I wasted 2-3 months.
don't trust them

I am the founder of Virtual Piano - world's largest online piano platform, used by over 100 million people. In the last 18 years, I have worked with most of the big names in AdTech. In 2020, Freestar reached out to me for a partnership and despite my initial reluctance due to the hit-and-miss nature of the sector, I decided to give them a chance. Without exaggeration, this partnership has been one of the best decisions I have made for the business. Here's why:

Incredible results - our revenue has consistently grown since our partnership began and we have been setting and surpassing new goals every year.

Leading technology - a transparent and slick way of monetising the platform, reporting and prompt payments. Always optimised! They also listen to feedback use it to improve the dashboards.

Amazing people - absolute privilege of working with wonderful people who care and actually know what they're doing. From the founder to their genius engineers and account ninjas - literally amazing.

I am always surprised when I see an odd negative review about a business without justification, and under an anonymous ID. Freestar is one of the best, if not the best in the sector and I wholeheartedly recommend them to other ambitious publishers!

I spent 19+ years at Reuters and I have worked with many vendors. Freestar is defintely not a vendor. They were a partner from day one. They go above and beyond and became an immediate extension of our internal team. The Freestar team is an absolute delight to work with and their response times are NEXT LEVEL. I've actually never experienced faster response times in my career. The Freestar team cares deeply about their clients and that culture starts at the top. You get access to everyone needed to help set your business up for more success. Highly recommend!

Freestar has been an absolute game-changer for my site deepai.org . Their support is top-notch - always fast to respond and get right to the point on solving issues. Within just a few weeks of partnering with them, my ad revenue rocketed way past what I was making with AdSense.

These guys really know their stuff when it comes to thoughtfully monetizing a site without compromising the user experience. I'm continually blown away by the creative new ad solutions they come up with to maximize my earnings. For instance, they have video ad units that make a ton of revenue that I would never have considered before.

Working with Freestar has been an good experience that has taken my business to new heights. If you're looking for an ad partner that will truly go the extra mile, look no further. I can't recommend them enough.

Freestar has been a terrific partner. They have the best in-class customer support and have increased our revenue immensly. I would highly reccomend Freestar to any publisher that is trying to increase their revenue.

We've been working with Freestar for about 5 months and have been very impressed with their approach and attention to our business. Even though we aren't a huge publisher, they make us feel like one. Ad revenue has improved about about 25% month over month and we've have no complaints from customers about malware or other "bad" ads. If we have any concerns, they are addressed immediatelty.

Great team, reliable company, and excellent revenue performance. What can you ask more?

Twenty-five years in the field, and we've worked with FastClick, Burst Media, SEVERAL more, and were even part of AdSense – when they were in beta testing! A few years ago, we reluctantly left Google, who continuously raised their fees, and we began working with FreeStar. We literally more than quadrupled our revenue received, and experienced some of the best customer service possible. Do we worry a little? Yes, because they have grown from a small incredibly focused company where the focus felt like it was totally publisher related, to an incredibly fast growing organization with more moving parts, but to date, they remain the best absolute ad-publishing company we have ever worked with.

Having worked in digital marketing for 20+ years, Freestar is among the finest partners I have had to pleasure to work with, programmatic advertising or otherwise. Their market experience and knowledge is extensive and technology world class. They were consultative and highly service oriented at every step from initial contact through proposal and a smooth implementation. I found each member of their team to be excellent at their craft, highly responsive and dedicated to ensuring our success. They were accurate in their revenue forecast expectations with us and flexible and responsive to meeting our specific objectives and needs. I highly recommend Freestar for any firm looking for excellence in programmatic advertising.

Freestar looked like a serious competitor with several page contract to sign before the on-boarding process started.
But the first red flag was actually their contract. It is a 12 month lock-in contract. For a whole year you are only allowed to show Freestar ads, no matter how bad they are doing. And if you do not cancel the contract in time you are locked-in for another 12 months.

Then the on-boarding process was one of the most time consuming on-boarding processes I've tried (I've tried about 20-30 ad networks during the last 15 years).
Their knowledge about ad placement was incredible bad, it took them more than a week to get the sticky side ads to work. They spent that week trying to come up with their own solution to sticky side placement that was already on our site (and that solution was emailed them several times during that week). In the end they ended up using our current solution, but of course they tried to take credit for that idea themself.
When the ad placement was done their ads had to be on the site for a month for the on-boarding process to complete.
During that month the ad revenue was lower than what we got from AdSense, we were promised a big increase from AdSense. Freestar was informed about this, but got no response from them.
After a month with their on-boarding process, I got an e-mail from Freestar saying that the contract was no longer valid because the on-boarding process was not completed properly. I e-mailed all my contacts that this was strange that I got blamed, when they could not get it to work. But I'm still waiting for a reply from them.
(I might have deleted their ads before the contract was cancelled, because we were making more money from AdSense and the issue was not addressed by Freestar.)

Also their scripts totally messed up our Analytics, and when they where told this they tried to blame it on bots.

Freestar helped us earn more from our website than any other company we've worked with so far. We've managed our ad ops ourselves and used a few other agencies. Freestar has been the best so far.

Multiple emails from different "business development reps" none of whom seem remotely capable of understanding what "no we don't want to work with you" means. If this is their ethos then suggest folks avoid like the plague. This kind of approach doesn't reflect well on the business and puts us right off.

The company itself is a legit company. However, many scammers use their name and try to get freelancers to make upfront deposit payments or other forms of payment. PLEASE BE AWARE!
