MFA sites often employ intrusive ad tactics, resulting in poor advertising-to-attention ratios. Pixalate’s Q2 2025 MFA Benchmarks reports analyze ad trends across MFA websites, mobile apps, and CTV apps.

 

The reports offer insights into ad spend, invalid traffic, ad fraud, and other key metrics. Unlike crawl-based approaches, which can be gamed, Pixalate identifies MFA content through observed global traffic patterns.

 

**Key Findings (Q2 2025):**

- **13%** of global open programmatic web ad spend—approximately **$716M**—went to domains identified as MFAs.
- An estimated **$29M** in open programmatic ad spend was directed to MFA mobile apps.
- An estimated **$25M** went to MFA CTV apps.

Personal information of 15M—majority likely children—has been unlawfully processed by COPPA non-compliant apps. Pixalate’s *Q2 2025 State Of Children’s Privacy On Mobile Apps Report* is part of its COPPA Violation Risks in Mobile Apps series, highlighting app developers on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store that are at risk of violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act.

 

Download the report for free and you will also get the full list of 240 apps at high risk of violating COPPA.

For the purposes of this report, Pixalate analyzed 1,528 likely child-directed apps with ads, determined to be registered in the U.S. during Q2 2025. Our assessment found that about 240 of the apps covered were risking non-compliance under COPPA.

From this number, Pixalate detected and measured that:

- 17 omitted to have any detectable privacy policies at all;
- 223 lacked any one appropriate privacy disclosure, in accordance with Pixalate’s methodology;
- 191 apps failed to provide the requisite ‘children’s privacy’ disclosure in accordance with the COPPA Rule.

 Per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes. Also per the MRC, “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.”
