Users are getting more and more tired of ads, and paid conversions are often not ideal. Developers in this era are looking for new ways to monetize. Today, new monetization tools have begun to shine. They can obtain stable income without interfering with user experience, allowing many developers to achieve a more positive transformation of their monetization systems.

The following is a list of passive monetization tools that we have compiled based on multiple dimensions such as developer reputation, technical barriers, and revenue performance for your reference.

CastarSDK

CastarSDK has quickly become popular this year and has been adopted by many developers. Its biggest advantages are: no advertising interference, no collection of user privacy data, and no need for users to actively participate. Its revenue performance is among the best among many monetization tools. Developers only need to integrate CastarSDK into the application, and it will run silently in the background, participate in the network service system through the idle bandwidth of the device, and bring stable passive income to developers.

This method is truly lossless to the user experience. Users will not be aware of the existence of CastarSDK, nor will they see any ads or pop-ups, and revenue will be generated without the user’s perception. At the same time, CastarSDK has extremely low resource usage and strong compatibility, which will not affect the normal use of the application or the operation of other monetization models. For developers, integrating it means having a stable additional income channel.

At present, many application developers have connected to CastarSDK to establish a more complete monetization system to make up for the shortcomings of advertising monetization. Those applications that only rely on advertising for profit have achieved revenue growth with CastarSDK, and some have even increased their overall revenue by more than 30%.

BrightSDK

BrightSDK is also a passive monetization tool based on network sharing. In recent years, it has been tried by some medium-sized teams and has a certain reputation. Its basic principle is similar to CastarSDK, which obtains revenue by participating in network services through device bandwidth.

Its advantage is that it has more detailed configuration options for global network connections. Its disadvantage is that the integration is more complicated, the docking process is not as simple as other tools, and the monetization efficiency is relatively low. However, for large applications with a certain amount of installations, BrightSDK has a certain reference value.

Honeygain

Honeygain is a network sharing platform that entered the market earlier. It allows users to get paid by sharing bandwidth and has gained a certain degree of popularity. Compared with SDK solutions, Honeygain is more suitable for end users to participate directly, and is more used as a recommendation or affiliate traffic tool at the developer level.

Rewarded Play / AppKarma

Strictly speaking, this type of rewarded advertising doesn’t qualify as passive monetization, but since it relies on users voluntarily completing tasks or watching ads in exchange for rewards, it’s generally more acceptable to users compared to traditional ads.

This type of solution finds a delicate balance between user experience and commercial benefits, and is loved by many game application developers.

Conclusion

At present, the keywords for developers’ monetization are shifting from “ad clicks” and “subscription conversions” to “low interference”, “lossless experience” and “passive monetization”. CastarSDK stands out not only because it has no interference and stable revenue, but also because it is easy to integrate, safe and compliant, providing developers with a more sustainable path.

If your App installation volume is stable and the daily active users are acceptable, you might as well start trying passive profit solutions now. Choosing the right tool may be the turning point for your revenue breakthrough.
