Chartboost launches video and in-game ads to boost mobile game monetization

Chartboost wants to be the mobile game developer’s best friend, and it’s doing that this week by launching two new ways to advertise games. The company enables developers get free game installations by permitting them to swap traffic with each other. And now it can do so via video ads and in-game ads.

This kind of developer-friendly service is why Chartboost has been integrated into more than 60,000 games, with 12 billion game sessions per month.
