PapayaMobile

edit

Founded in 2008 by CEO Si Shen and CTO Qian Wenjie, PapayaMobile provides both tools for game developers and content for players on its growing social mobile network of over 80 million users worldwide. Papaya’s latest product, AppFlood, is a new way to acquire users for Android and iOS applications. Rather than losing 30% to traditional ad networks, publishers and advertisers are buying and selling installs on the only commission-free install market. In addition, developers can use AppFlood cross-promotion to exchange non-incentivized traffic in order to grow their users for free. AppFlood is 100% open to all developers and does not require integration into Papaya’s social network or a specific type of genre.

In addition Papaya is also Android and iOS’s leading social gaming network, offering a full suite of social gaming features, diverse set of monetization tools, and the fastest 2D OpenGL Social Game Engine. With headquarters in Beijing and offices in San Francisco and London, PapayaMobile offers developers a fast and easy way to reach millions of users across the globe and improve their return on investment for Android and iOS game development. All of PapayaMobile’s SDKs and Game Engine products are open and free to use, serving as a one-stop-shop for all game developer needs.
