Hey, Product Hunters!
Monetization has always been a pain point for mobile developers. It takes so much time to get it right, that you struggle to work on the product itself.
We’ve been there too. Each time we created a new app we felt like we were inventing the wheel all over again: purchase, validate, upsell banner, Black Friday sale, repeat…
So we decided to go back to the drawing board and brainstormed all of our dream scenarios for monetization: what would the process look like in a perfect world. That was back in May. Here’s what we came up with:
💳 Purchases
Usually it took us weeks to implement in-app purchases. And even then we needed to support all new store features (promoted in-app, cancellation reasons, etc.).
We wanted an SDK that would simplify the in-app purchases down to a single method. It also needs to protect you from fraud (root access, MITM-attacks, storage altering, etc.).
🎰 Pricing experiments
Most app creators try to guess the best price for their product. But we know, that sometimes you can charge your users TWICE as much and get the SAME conversion and churn rates.
We wanted a solution to run pricing experiments with no app updates. We’d also need to control its audience — nobody wants to ruin paid acquisition with a crazy experiment.
💰 Sales
Everybody wants to run sales because it boosts your monetization drastically. Yet nobody wants to spend developer’s time to code those stupid banners.
So we wanted there to be a way to run sales with no app updates — so you don’t need to hardcode every trigger in these awful BannerConfig.swift or BannerManager.kt
“Oh, if only this product could become our reality!” — we said back in May. Well, it took us 5 months, but here we are.
CleverPay is now live and it’s already helped a few apps to boost their monetization. Will your app be next?
ProductHunt community is so essential for startup ecosystem worldwide, that we’d like to give away a coupon for 25% discount for 1 year (code: WELOVEPH, valid till the end of October) for all of you — just because we love PH so much ;)
We’d really appreciate your feedback and ideas!
Wow! Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻 It looks useful!
We’ve just finished another Android app, that has multiple Banner Managers, that holds banner weights and triggers. Was really exhausting to do all of that, but we have some very specific triggers, that, as I understand, cannot be fulfilled other than locally. For example, we show a cool promo for or Premium subscription, when a user activates in a certain feature and have already completed activation in some other features. Is it possible to do the same with CleverPay?
@akapylechka Hi, Lada!
Thanks for your question.
Don't wanna dive deep into details, but it is actually quite easy to do with CleverPay. More than that, you could have added new and change old triggers, as well as experiment on the content of these promos, if you have used CleverPay in your app. Too bad you weren't aware of us back then :(
You can reach of to us, we'll help you set up all the stuff, if you'd like.
