What is the AppsPrize SDK?
The AppsPrize SDK gives developers a straightforward way to add ad formats to their apps and monetize their existing user base. Its distinguishing feature is a format called Playtime, which rewards users for their time and turns that attention into revenue for the app owner.
Playtime is what sets AppsPrize apart from traditional ad solutions. Rather than paying for a view, it rewards users for installing and actively using apps from advertising partners. When a user taps an ad in the Playtime feed, they are taken to that app's page on the Google Play Store.
The value appears once they install the advertised app and start playing. Every moment they spend in it earns them a reward inside your app, paid as an in-app incentive or virtual currency. The more they engage with the advertised app, the more they earn with you.

| Advertiser/Partner App | An advertised app in the Playtime feed. Players can earn rewards by installing and playing these apps and the Client App earns money for every install. |
| User Permission Process |
Before the player can use the AppsPrize Playtime SDK with all its functionalities, they must accept AppsPrize's Terms of Service and allow the client app to track their usage. Only signed-up users (i.e., users who successfully accept the Terms of Service) can install advertiser apps. If the players allow the client app to track their app usage, they can install offers from the Playtime Feed. Otherwise, they will be redirected to the client app. Check with your AppsPrize representative for more details. |
| Reward | A virtual currency in the client app that the user receives after continuously playing an advertiser app. Users qualify for rewards after repeatedly playing the advertiser app for specified amounts of time. |
| Payout | The process of redeeming rewards. Once a reward is paid out, it can't be paid out again. |
