Our Verdict

Best practice: Use BOTH formats strategically. Rewarded ads should be your primary monetization driver for highest eCPMs and user experience. Interstitials fill gaps and provide baseline revenue.

Ideal mix: 60-70% of ad revenue from rewarded, 30-40% from interstitials. Limit interstitials to 1-2 per session to protect retention.
