Ads-free monetization for apps and gamesAds-free monetization for apps and games
Why ads becoming less effective
Ad-based monetization is no longer as reliable as it once was. Users are increasingly frustrated by pop-ups and interruptions, leading to faster churn and lower engagement. Depending on the app category, this impact can be even more pronounced, especially in utilities, productivity tools, and casual games.
At the same time, privacy regulations like GDPR and Apple’s ATT have reduced ad targeting accuracy, shrinking revenue potential for developers. In regions with lower CPMs, even high install numbers often fail to generate meaningful income. And as users grow more privacy-aware, trust in ad-heavy apps continues to decline.
