IronSource confirms merger with mobile monetization firm Supersonic

Israeli tech firm IronSource has confirmed that it is merging with Supersonic, which specializes in user acquisition and in-app monetization for mobile apps and games. The aim is to create a one-stop shop for mobile monetization solutions that can help app developers scale up the number of users they have as quickly as possible.

Previously, Israeli publications TheMarker and Haaretz reported in July that IronSource had acquired Supersonic in a stock deal as part of a plan to expand its presence in mobile app monetization. We had also heard from a reliable source that no deal had been finalized yet but that talks with multiple parties were ongoing.
