“We are extremely pleased with the results we've achieved using Moloco's in-app bidding SDK. The 15% increase in ARPDAU and the streamlined, error-free process have made a significant impact. We're excited to explore how we can further expand this partnership and drive even greater success across our entire game portfolio.”

Why app monetization only goes so far

Optimization has limits

There’s only so much you can achieve by optimizing your existing ad strategy. Once you’ve A/B tested formats, placements, and pricing, revenue growth requires adding new sources of value, not just fine-tuning.

Fees add up

Monetizing through programmatic exchanges means intermediary fees apply to every impression. That's revenue you earned but never see.

Less competition means less revenue

Ad auctions are won by the highest bidder. If too few networks are bidding, prices stay lower than they could be. Every network missing from your stack is a potential revenue source you’re leaving on the table.

Less creative control

Programmatic exchanges often determine rendering, creative selection, and ad behavior. How ads look in your app and whether they fit your app's experience may not always be in your hands.

Add more demand without adding more inventory

The Moloco SDK connects your app directly to Moloco's global advertiser demand, bringing more advertisers to your existing inventory. More competition can mean higher CPMs, and more revenue from every impression you serve.

Unlike an exchange, the Moloco SDK connects advertisers directly to your inventory — helping you keep more of what advertisers spend, while giving you more control over the ad experience.

Keep more of every dollar you earn

Moloco charges advertisers directly — the Moloco SDK has no publisher-side fees or revenue share taken from your earnings. More of the advertiser's spend reaches you compared to a model that routes through an exchange taking intermediary fees.

More bidders, higher CPMs

Adding the Moloco SDK to your mediation stack means another network bidding on every impression. That can drive higher CPMs, improve fill rates, and reduce your reliance on any single demand partner.

Your app — your ad experience

With the Moloco SDK, you have more control over how ads render and whether they fit your app's context. Revenue doesn't have to come at the expense of user experience.

Get direct access to premium advertiser demand

The Moloco SDK connects your ad inventory to advertisers behind many of the world's leading apps and games. According to Sensor Tower, 45 of the top 50 highest-grossing mobile app publishers in 2025 advertised with Moloco. {[data-attribute="init-tooltip"][tooltip-content="<p>Source:<br><br>Sensor Tower ranking of top mobile app publishers by 2025 revenue (IAP & subscription), excluding Mainland China.
