adjoe Ranked Among Top App Monetization Platforms 2024! Exciting news – adjoe has been recognized by Business of Apps as a top player in app monetization. adjoe allows you to gamify your in-app-loyalty program: We've designed the product adjoe Playtime to scale your app’s transactions and revenue across verticals – fintech, QSR, shopping - and build loyalty through repeated engagement . And we do it by leveraging the continuously growing consumer interest in mobile games. Here’s some reasons why we are a top choice for app monetization: 💡 With adjoe, app businesses increase their revenue by up to 100% without cannibalizing their other revenue streams. 💡  Users engage with our partners’ brands daily by earning rewards, even if they’re still not ready to make a purchase. Yet, this habit of coming back to the app inevitably increases their purchase rates. 💡 We tailor each arcade to align with the goals of the publisher’s app and build a premium UX that feels native to it, delivering the best engagement metrics and eCPMs around. It's great to see that our products withstand any changes in the industry and come out on top. Although, with the team that we have built, it doesn't surprise me. Speaking of, shoutout to our incredible team at adjoe – your hard work and eagerness to innovate made this possible. And a huge thanks to our partners, like Fetch, WeWard, DeutschlandCard GmbH | Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA and many other leaders in their segments, for creating amazing app experiences and making our solutions part of them.
