Hi, Stewart here from the Firebase team.

https://firebase.google.com/docs/admob/admob-firebase has a pretty good explaination of the benefits. For example, using AdMob + Firebase you'll immediately be able to take advantage of Firebase Analytics to "measure sessions, user demographics, revenue from in-app products" and you'll have a relatively easy path to start utilize other Firebase features - if you want - in future.

Cheers, Stewart

Thanks for answering, I appreciate it.

I already use Google Analytics and it works really great. I don't need the other features and I don't want to include the whole framework just to display ads, it seems really overkill.

I'm glad we have an option to use AdMob separately, please don't take it away.
