Blindspot vs AdQuick: the fair fight

Both platforms let you plan, buy, and measure out-of-home without a traditional agency. The honest difference is what you're buying: AdQuick sells curated flights across every OOH format; Blindspot sells exact hours on 3M+ digital screens at per-play prices. Here's the whole picture — including when they're the right call.

The honest TL;DR — June 2026

  • AdQuick is a strong US-centric OOH marketplace: 1,700+ media-owner partnerships, classic static formats (wallscapes, murals, transit) alongside digital, managed service, and deep market-guide content. If your campaign needs a painted wall in Wynwood, it's a genuine fit.
  • Blindspot is the precision instrument: 3,000,000+ digital screens in 50+ countries bought by the exact hour, per screen, at per-play prices visible before signup — with contextual creative rules and an AI planner (Blinky) that books, not just suggests.
  • The structural difference: AdQuick sells flights (typically 4-week units); Blindspot sells hours. Removing the empty hours from an invoice is where Blindspot buyers keep 30%+ of a traditional budget.
  • Measured Blindspot outcomes: $0.82 per incremental store visit, $5.75 per incremental online purchase vs control groups — against $15–40 typical paid-social CPAs (campaign data published in The Drum).

FAQ

Asked often

Is Blindspot or AdQuick cheaper?

Different models: AdQuick prices mostly in 4-week flights and CPM ranges with managed-service support; Blindspot prices per play, per hour, with no minimums — entry points like $0.23 urban-panel plays or ~$40 Times Square plays. For digital screens bought on exact hours, removing empty hours typically saves 30%+ vs flight-based buying.

Does AdQuick cover formats Blindspot doesn't?

Yes — AdQuick aggregates classic static OOH such as wallscapes, murals, wheatpasting, and printed transit alongside digital. Blindspot is digital-first: 3M+ digital screens bought by the hour with dynamic creative. If your plan is anchored on a painted wall, AdQuick fits; if it's anchored on time-and-place precision, Blindspot does.

Can I buy by the hour on AdQuick?

AdQuick sells primarily in flight-based packages (typically 4-week units, shorter on digital). Per-screen hourly scheduling with a unique schedule and plays-per-hour for each screen in a plan is Blindspot's model and, to our knowledge as of June 2026, isn't offered at scale elsewhere.

Do both platforms show prices upfront?

AdQuick publishes market-level pricing data and shows rates through its platform after signup (CTAs are gated on a business email). Blindspot shows the average price per play and real-time availability on every screen card before any signup commitment, and itemizes every location to the cent at review.
