Tel Aviv, Israel, January 16, 2014 – World-leading digital distribution company, ironSource announced today that it has customized the SDK of its popular Android app platform mobileCore for use with ai.type’s free Android keyboard.
ai.type is a world-leading Android keyboard, enabling next word prediction, completion, correction and spelling and grammar check as the user types. It’s among the 10 leading productivity apps in over 35 countries.
ai.type offers both unpaid and premium versions of its app. As ai.type runs as a service on Android devices, it cannot display ads beyond the boundaries of the keyboard. Many users of the trial version of the service upgrade to the paid version, but the company was limited in how it could monetize users that did not upgrade.
With the mobileCore integration, following a trial period a promotional button on the word prediction line is shown to those ai.type users that had not yet upgraded to the paid version of the service, and who the company determines using statistical data, is not likely to upgrade.
This allows ai.type to earn revenue from frequent users of their service that they otherwise would not be able to monetize. This raised overall revenue dramatically, without affecting user experience.
ai.type CEO & Founder Eitan Fitusi said, „Working together with mobileCore has definitely paid off. Our overall revenue has grown by about 25% using the mobileCore platform.“
ironSource Head of Mobile Itay Riemer added, „Our partnership with ai.type encouraged us to push our creative thinking to develop an entirely new solution with lucrative results. This is what mobileCore is about – finding new, transparent, user-friendly ways to support gifted app developers.“
mobileCore will present its platform and solutions at AppsWorld 2014, booth 159, February 5-6, 2014 in San Francisco.
