Which fits your goal?

Native and display sit at different points on the engagement-versus-reach scale. Native blends into the feed and earns attention, which suits discovery and consideration; it's usually bought on CPC. Display uses standard banners for broad, inexpensive reach on CPM and is the natural home for retargeting warm visitors.

On FroggyAds both share targeting, source control, SmartCPC and Adscore, so the smart move is to match format to goal: native to win new, higher-intent attention; display to reach widely and bring visitors back. Test each from $50 and let results guide the mix.
