App Monetization
adjoe
adjoe is a mobile advertising platform best known for Playtime, a rewarded engagement format where users earn in-app currency for trying and spending time in advertised apps. Publishers integrate the SDK to add this offerwall-style monetization alongside standard ad formats, while advertisers gain a performance channel that drives installs and longer-term engagement rather than single taps. It suits app and game publishers, particularly in casual and rewards-driven categories, that want an additional revenue stream tied to user activity, and advertisers seeking engaged users measured on retention and post-install value.
What it does
adjoe is a mobile ad platform whose signature product, Playtime, rewards users with in-app currency for installing and actively spending time in advertised apps. Publishers integrate the adjoe SDK to add this time-based, offerwall-style format to their monetization mix, giving users a way to earn rewards while opening a revenue stream tied to genuine engagement rather than a single click. For advertisers, the model delivers users measured on retention and post-install activity, not just installs, which suits campaigns that care about downstream value. adjoe also supports additional ad formats and reporting, and is most relevant to casual games and rewards-driven apps with audiences receptive to value-exchange advertising.
