Real results across on-demand apps

"We cut Burger King Korea's user acquisition costs by 30% and increased their monthly app installs by 28% by taking them beyond Google and Meta. Our channel diversification strategy generated 7% more daily active users and drove real business growth with a 4 percentage point increase in purchases."

Kyungsang Cho
NNT CEO

"What changed for us was speed and focus. Moloco's AI found riders most likely to book again, so we re-engaged lapsed and low-frequency users without leaning on discounts. That helped us double total orders."

Vu Thu Trang
Senior Performance Marketing Manager

Crowded channels are driving up costs

Many on-demand apps are competing for similar audiences on the same platforms.
Across apps, CPIs rise every year with increasing advertiser competition.

How Moloco drives growth
for on-demand apps

Acquire loyal users for your app

Tell Moloco what matters — first orders, repeat purchases, loyalty enrollment — and our AI optimizes toward it. You define success. We find the users who deliver it.

Reach beyond your current channels

Moloco has the potential to connect you to over 2 billion daily active users across more than 2.8 million apps, generating over 1 trillion daily ad opportunities in inventory that sits outside the Meta and Google ecosystems.

Enterprise-grade fraud protection

Moloco maintains strict quality standards aligned with Google and Apple's app store requirements. We use real-time monitoring and exclusion lists to continuously improve inventory quality. These efforts have earned TAG and IAB Gold certifications.

Re-engage users who drop off

Moloco identifies users who installed but never ordered, or users who transacted once but went quiet. Then run Re-engagement campaigns to help bring them back.
