VS LIVERAMPThe deterministic identity standard · and what survives it

Survives
without one
vendor's ID.

RampID is an input · not the spine
The argument, in one paragraph

LiveRamp built RampID into the dominant deterministic ID for the ad-tech ecosystem, and most identity vendors built their graph on top of it. The result: every match rate in the category is hostage to one vendor's roadmap. When RampID changes its terms, the buyer's graph changes with it. The graph absorbs whatever the next deprecation brings — the next consortium ID, the next post-cookie standard, the next universal ID — in the next continual refresh. LiveRamp is a great input. It is a bad lock-in.

001 / on coverage
The identity standard.
An input, not the spine.
002 / on resilience
Future-proof identity.
Future-proof to whose future.
003 / on cost
Per-record pricing.
Flat. Yours.
004 / on control
Trust the network.
Trust your graph.
The outcome our buyers come for

If their ID changes
you don't blink.

When the next deprecation hits — and one always does — buyers with a single-vendor identity spine spend a quarter rebuilding. Buyers on a multi-input graph absorb the change in the next continual refresh. That's not a feature. That's the design.

Where LiveRamp still wins
LiveRamp wins when your only concern is RampID coverage and your activation partners require RampID specifically as the input. On everything else — match rate, deterministic provenance, graph ownership — we replace LiveRamp, with the highest match rate in the industry.
