What it really isAn enterprise customer data platform that collects, unifies and routes first-party data, owned by Rokt.
Our takemParticle is built for brands with real engineering capacity and many downstream tools: you instrument once with its SDKs, resolve identities, and fan data out to 300+ destinations.
Rokt's ownership pushes it toward ad performance features such as Match Boost and audience expansion. The price model is the main hurdle: a prepaid credit commitment metered across many billing items, with no public rates.
Why we rate itWide SDK coverage, identity resolution and a very large integration catalogue.
The catchOpaque, commitment-based pricing with many billable items, and engineering work to implement.
