The AppBrain SDK lets you show user-friendly app install ads to your user through interstitial or banner ad units. Our high-quality ads provide a good user experience and great monetization potential. A minimal amount of development is required to add AppBrain ads to your app or game.
After the Android app development phase, you want to know how to best monetize your Android game or app. At AppBrain, we have been thinking about this problem for a long time. We have developed dozens of own apps with millions of downloads, and have found that a combination of ads is the best way to earn money.
The most effective monetization strategy for our Android games has been a combination of banner, interstitial, and offerwall ads. Therefore we have built the AppBrain SDK to also include these ads. We believe that the AppBrain SDK has a place in any ads-based business model.
The AppBrain SDK provides effective interstitial and banner ad units for your Android app. The SDK has 10 different designs for the ad units, which it will automatically optimize. This guarantees you make as much money as possible.

The most effective way to earn revenue is by using the interstitial (offerwall) that's contained in the SDK. By calling the showInterstitial function you can show this screen to the user when people exit your app, when they enter, or somewhere in between. We advise to use the AppBRain banners with a mediation solution such as Admob mediation, but they can also be used on their own.
The CPM of the interstitial is very high (> $2), However, you can show an interstitial ad less often than you can show banner ads. All in all, the AppBrain interstitial significantly outperform competing offerwalls, app wall or smartwall in terms of overall revenue per app install. The AppBrain banners provide leading eCPMs, depending on your audience the CPM may be between $0.50 and $1.50.
