MNTN vs Vibe: what each platform's own pages state
QUICK ANSWER
MNTN is described as CTV performance platforms; Vibe as CTV performance platforms. Of our 19 checks, both state 5: self-serve buying, no-commitment or no-minimum terms, attribution to visits or sales, named measurement partners and published reach or channel count. Only MNTN states brand-safety partner named, enterprise terms or account team and AI or automated optimization; only Vibe states managed service option, incrementality or lift testing, campaigns in plain language, disney+ or Hulu listed and manual bid or delivery controls. This page compares what each publishes, not how well either performs.

Who might shortlist each?
MNTN fits if: you want self-serve streaming TV with no stated minimum, named measurement integrations and attribution to site visits.
Look elsewhere if: you need incrementality or holdout testing described on the platform's own pages.
Vibe fits if: you want to pilot streaming TV without a long-term commitment, prove lift with holdout tests and third-party measurement, and run campaigns from an AI assistant if you choose.
Look elsewhere if: Netflix or Prime Video inventory is a must, or your buying rules require a named brand-safety partner.
