The app business is tough. According to recent estimates, there are about 9 million mobile
app developers in the world but, as VisionMobile points out, about 60% of these people
make $500 or less profit a month on apps they develop. If we subtract from this number,
so-called, app hobbyists, people who think of their app development as a hobby, whom,
according to VisionMobile, constitute –35% of the total app developers community, we still
end up with several million people. How do they all make a living with apps?
People who are in the app business to make money can choose from several options to earn
a profit. The two major options are: either to profit on paid downloads and in-app purchas-
es or monetize apps via advertising. Essentially, a user base growth is the only reason for
considering app monetization via ads but it comes with different flavours. Firstly, certain
apps may reach a plateau with the number of users they have and so placing ads is the way
to make extra profit. Secondly, app owners may decide at early stages of their app develop-
ment cycle that ads will be their major monetization driver.
The essence of advertising in apps comes down to placing a banner or video ad of an app
inside another app. Just like with the web, there is a banner blindness problem for banners
in apps as well, app users either ignore banners or get irritated by them and it degrades their
app using experience. This is the problem facing all companies that provide app monetiza-
tion via advertising. These companies potential to help app developers to monetize their
apps depends on how effectively they can address banner blindness.
We want to bring you the list of the top app monetization solution providers, that may help
you to earn a profit via advertising. They an be characterized by the following features:

• Formats – there are four formats available for app developers to place ads inside their
apps with: Banner, Interstitial, Video and Native. The latter, which was introduced by
Facebook, is the most popular one because it yields the best revenues.
• Statistics – providing detailed statistics for ads performance in real time is what allows
developers to manage their ad campaigns effectively. When you evaluate a specific com-
pany, it’s really important to have understanding of what specific stats it provides and
how frequently.
• Bidding Options – there are three basic bidding models that these companies provide:
CPC (stands for cost per click), CPM (stands for cost per mile or a thousand banner views)
and CPI (stands for cost per install).
• Reach – different companies support different geo locations and verticals for offers (an
offer stands for a specific mobile app traffic needs) they provide. Also reach is defined by
the number of advertisers that supply offers.
• Placements – specific parts of an app to which ads can be placed, the more sophisticat-
ed and flexible options a company’s SDK provides, the greater potential to make higher
profits.
• Fill Rate – this ratio can be calculated by dividing the total number of times an ad was
successfully displayed by the total number of times the ad was requested. Companies
that provide high rate have a higher potential to bring profit.
These are 27 top companies that offer app monetization solutions for you to explore. To pick
up the best app monetization partner for your company, make sure you consider all criteria
we’ve laid out above. You can suggest a service for us to include in future guides here.

Final thoughts
Chances are you’re reading this post because your company is on a quest to find a better
way to monetize your app. And even though to find the right app monetization partner
company is important, the app itself is no less crucial. Factors like how often people use your
app and what is an average session duration do influence the app’s monetization potential.
If people use your app rarely, they simply don’t have a chance to see ads you’re placing in to
make a profit on.
