Cross-promotion is free marketing: Every 2 adverts you show earns 1 advert for your app elsewhere, and every new account starts with 100 ad views.
You stay in control: choose which types of adverts you show and where your app should appear, use adverts for your own apps, and stop showing adverts at any time – a great way to sell a “Remove ads” in-app purchase.
Private by design: Kickstart Exchange matches apps, not people – it tracks no user or device data, and every app is reviewed by a human before it can appear.
Completely free: There’s no cost to join – you earn ad views simply by showing ads in your own apps.
