Ezoic Premium
What Is Ezoic Premium
Ezoic Premium is an invitation-only service offered by Ezoic that allows websites to earn more revenue from advertisements.
According to Ezoic, Premium generates revenue using “programmatic guaranteed deals with specific advertisers that are interested in your inventory”.
These guaranteed deals have a very high payout but can only be used on a limited amount of inventory. In other words, Premium revenue supplements Ezoic earnings – it does not replace them.
Premium is only for existing customers and is only offered to customers after they have been assessed and approved. Existing non-Premium customers can indicate interest in the Premium program using a button on the Dashboard.
Ezoic all but guarantees a net benefit for using the Premium program. They pre-screen potential Premium customers, and claim that they will not invite a site to join Premium unless that site will benefit from it. Ezoic will downgrade the Premium level if the net Premium benefits aren’t high enough to cover the cost of the plan. There is also a 14 day free trial period, allowing sites to get a head start in earning Premium revenue before being on the hook for the cost of the program.
When Premium revenues are calculated, they take into account the estimated ad revenue from a non-Premium ad served instead. This means that the Premium revenue reported only counts the extra revenue generated.
We did the math on Ezoic Premium and found that even after paying for Premium, the program could result in a net revenue increase of up to 40%. This depends on the size of the site and the plan selected.

- In Conclusion – Ezoic Premium
The Ezoic Premium program offers every website three different levels: basic, preferred, and elite. The plans offered to each site depends on how much money the site is currently earning.
Ezoic will scale the plan selection up as the website grows, but they won’t let you downgrade to a lower level. If you leave Ezoic Premium, they claim that they will not accept you back in. This is why it’s important to choose your level carefully.
In this article, we will cover every single plan and level offered in the Ezoic Premium program. We did the math on how much you can expect to actually earn depending on the size of your website and the level that you choose so that you can make an educated decision.
Benefits of Ezoic Premium
The benefits of Ezoic premium go beyond higher earnings. The first is a free Ezoic Pro membership. Ezoic Pro comes with lots of perks, like yield reports, unlimited tag tester, multi-user login and advanced video features.
You get access to a Premium Advertiser Report, which gives in depth information about advertising partners that non-Premium customers don’t have access to. You can actually see who is paying for ads on your website, which is pretty cool in my book. Elite level customers (the highest level in each of Ezoic’s plans) also get ad level reporting.
Ezoic Premium also comes with an optional quarterly expert site review meeting. This is an amazing benefit as it can be difficult to get dedicated, 1 on 1 time to help improve site revenue and performance.
In addition to all of these benefits, Ezoic also claims that the data from Premium customers gets processed first. This gives Premium customers a lead on non-Premium customers in terms of UX and revenue optimization.
