I'm trying to migrate from Google analytics to the new Firebase analytics but I noticed there are libraries for ads too. Are firebase ads going to replace admob ads as well? Should I keep using admob via google play services? Or make a switch to the Firebase SDK? What's the difference anyways?
You can link your AdMob app(s) to Firebase so that you can use your linked Google Analytics account data in AdMob. To use your Google Analytics or Google Analytics for Firebase data in AdMob, your Firebase project must be linked to your Google Analytics or Google Analytics for Firebase account.
Google AdMob is a mobile advertising platform that you can use to generate revenue from your app. Using AdMob with Firebase provides you with additional app usage data and analytics capabilities.
As you said admob is for native apps, adsense is for websites. So if you want to monetize your apps you need to get an admob account. It is not against google terms and condition to earn from website as well as mobile app, you can do both. All you need to do is to get an admob account and put your ads into your app.
We have compiled a list of solutions that reviewers voted as the best overall alternatives and competitors to Google AdMob, including Facebook Audience Network, Unity Ads, Leadbolt, and MoPub.
Happily, these are the same thing! The 'firebase-ads' dependency just brings in the existing 'play-services-ads' library and the 'firebase-analytics' library. The Firebase SDK is part of Google Play services, so no need to worry about migrating, just update to the latest version.
Exactly as Kastriot says, the main integration is between Firebase Analytics and AdMob, but the AdMob SDK is still the same service you're already familiar with.
Linking your app(s) to Firebase enables Firebase Analytics and AdMob to work together more closely. By choosing to link your app to Firebase, you allow more of your Analytics data to be used by AdMob independent of your Firebase Analytics Data Sharing Settings.
