Android App Developers Invited to Beta Test New
Zedge Discovery Network
Zedge Targets Independent App Developers with Flat
Fees, Fair Rankings
Zedge, a leading mobile
content discovery platform with 30 million monthly unique visitors,
invites Android app developers to promote
their apps on Zedge. Android developers will now be able to
participate in an app promotional network that does not prioritize based
on pay per click or pay per download. Rather, it utilizes fair and open
rankings available to all developers and not just those with deep
pockets to pay for promotion. Space is limited, but initial entry during
the beta period is free to all developers who are accepted.
“Independent app developers are creating the most astounding, brilliant
and innovative apps for Android, only to get buried by less impressive
output from commercial production shops with big marketing budgets,”
said Zedge’s Co-Founder and President, Tom Arnoy. “The Zedge Discovery
Network offers developers a better world….a true meritocracy where the
best apps will flourish. In other words, apps that the Zedge users want
but have not yet been able to discover will rise to the top of our
platform.”
The pricing model is as unique as the offering. Developers will be able
to access the platform for a flat monthly fee per app based on company
size, complete with a 10 day free trial period. Developers who
participate in the beta prior to launch will also receive three months
access free. Developers may cancel at any time.
“We have established a pricing system that will encourage independent
developers. The industry standard pay-per-click and pay-per-download
pricing models have created a stifling ecosystem that rewards deep
pockets and quantity rather than quality. Our approach, on the other
hand, rewards quality and creativity. We expect to accept only good and
relevant apps into the network,” said Mark Rosner, CEO of Zedge, “and
we’ll be able to provide Android developers with access to a large,
carefully targeted and highly engaged user community.”
