Not asking theoretically.

What are you actually seeing in 2026?
Which format currently gives you the best balance of:
- testing speed
- optimization potential
- scalability

Push?
In-Page?
Pop?

Or a combination?

Push for testing speed, pop for scale. In-page sits somewhere in between but the volume is inconsistent depending on geo. We see most buyers start with push to validate the offer then move to pop once they have a winning funnel dialed in. Combination always wins long term but don't split focus too early.
 
As of 2026, I’d say a combination. Push is still my first choice for testing because you can get data fast and test different creatives and angles cheaply. Once I find something that works, I’d add Pop for volume and scaling. In-Page Push can work too, especially on iOS, but I wouldn’t choose it as my main format. So for me right now it’s Push for testing and optimization, then Push + Pop for scaling.
 
Interesting that most replies are leaning toward a combination rather than a single “best” format.

That matches what we tend to see as well: the format that works best for testing isn't necessarily the one that works best once you start looking for more volume.

Push can be useful for testing creatives and angles, In-Page Push adds another way to reach users, while Pop can bring significantly more volume when a campaign is ready to scale.

So instead of asking which format wins overall, it may make more sense to ask which format fits each stage of the campaign.

Do you usually keep the original format running after adding another one for scale, or eventually move most of the budget to the format that's delivering better ROI?
 
i'd move budget toward what's producing the better economics, but i'd still keep the formats separated.

the same offer can behave very differently on push vs pop because the user intent and click path aren't the same. if you blend everything together too early, you can end up scaling the winner while never really understanding why it's winning.

once one format proves itself, that's where i'd get much more aggressive with source/placement optimization.
 
in-page still underrated tbh, people skip straight to push/pop. way less decline/hold headaches when testing than pop volume brings
