In general, we will look at your game’s retention rates, session lengths, DAU, cost-per-install and ad revenue metrics. 

In order for us to evaluate your metrics, you would need to integrate Appodeal’s ad mediation SDK into your app after you apply to the program.

If your app doesn’t have enough users yet, you might be asked to complete a soft launch user acquisition through Facebook with a $100 budget, for which we will reimburse you. 

Nope! You can still apply.

However, as a part of the evaluation process, we will evaluate your app’s retention rate, session length, cost-per-install, and ad revenue performance metrics that we gather primarily through Appodeal’s ad mediation SDK.

Please sign up for free to Appodeal using the same email address of your application so we can keep track of your application and its metrics. Be sure to integrate the SDK into the app you’ve applied with.

It shouldn’t take more than an hour to complete the SDK integration and it is completely free.

If your app is accepted into the Rising Star or Meteor Levels, you can be eligible to advance your level if certain metrics are hit. Generally, we will look at your retention rates, session lengths, game categories, DAU, cost-per-install, and ad revenue metrics. 

Please do note that our full-service Supernova Level has limited availability, depending on our team’s capacity at a given time. If your app eventually ends up meeting our metrics, that’s great! We’ll reach out to you to see when will be the soonest we can take full care of your app the way it deserves. 

In addition to promising games, we are also interested in looking for partner studios. Generally, we find that if we accelerate one game by a studio, its other games would also be strong candidates to be accelerated. We believe in forming strong long-lasting partnerships with our partner studios. 

If your studio can deploy quickly and is open to building new games, then please submit your game!

With this accelerator program, you get the best that comes with publishing, such as UA and development funding, monetization, user acquisition and UA ads creation. However, unlike with traditional publishing, you get to keep your app and its IP (intellectual property) as completely yours. Your team gets to keep their creative and development freedom. You can think of this program as your own self-publishing platform.

Regardless of which level you get accepted into, you will have full-access to Appodeal’s growth-engine and training materials on how to turn your app into a top earning hit.

For the Rising Star and Meteor Levels, it depends on your monetization setup and the size of your DAU. You will be given full-access to Appodeal’s growth engine to monetize your app and to use the new App Intelligence platform to find out where you can improve your LTV and decrease your cost per install. You will also receive training materials on how to achieve that. Once your LTV is higher than your CPI, you can scale your UA campaigns, generate profits, and accelerate your app on your own and at your own pace.

As for the Supernova Level, you can expect your earnings to grow gradually and then exponentially as your app progresses through the accelerator program. During the initial period, our team helps to set up and optimize the monetization aspects while running test UA campaigns until each new user acquired brings in net positive revenue for your app. The sooner that is reached, the sooner we can accelerate your app’s user base and earnings.

For the pilot app of this program, we took an app that earned $0 to over $1,000 each day in just two months and we are still in the process of scaling that higher. If accepted to the program, our team will accelerate your app to grow and earn as much as possible — without limitations.

Yup! As long as the app is available on the app store, we will still review your game. If we see potential in it, we may ask you to do a soft launch UA campaign to acquire more initial users. That way we can gather and evaluate its retention rate data for acceptance into the program.

If your game is not live yet, we encourage you to apply after it is live on the app store.
