Frequently Asked Questions

Appvertiser AI is an AI-native mobile growth platform and agency. We deploy autonomous AI agents for user acquisition, ASO, creative optimization, and analytics — trained on $700M in real mobile ad spend. We combine proprietary AI with 14+ years of hands-on UA expertise, across 140+ apps grown.
We offer two main tracks. AI Agents Platform — self-serve access to our UA, ASO, Creative, and Analytics AI agents for in-house teams. Full AI-Native Agency — from $5–7K/month, including UA strategy, all-channel execution, creative production, ASO, and real-time analytics. We also offer Creative Production Only and Starter Consultation as standalone services.
We work with mobile gaming studios (casual, midcore, social casino), subscription apps, fintech apps, travel apps, and entertainment apps. Clients include Fortis Games, Playrix, Voodoo, TikTok, Dave, Airalo, and Empower — from global brands to growth-stage studios.
We run campaigns across Meta, Google UAC, TikTok, Unity, AppLovin, Mintegral, and Apple Ads. We're official Meta and Google Partners. We also test emerging networks like Rewarded Play, Discord, and Reddit. For analytics and recommendations, we support any channel connected to your MMP.
Full Agency includes UA strategy, all-channel campaign execution, MMP and attribution setup, postback audits, creative production (video, statics, playables, UGC, AI-generated assets), ASO, soft launch support, and a real-time performance dashboard. Everything from data ingestion to execution is handled.
It means our operations, decisions, and creative strategy are driven by our own proprietary AI — not a wrapper on top of OpenAI or Claude. Our system uses graph reasoning with causal inference layers, trained on $700M+ in real mobile ad spend. We built the model; we didn't just prompt someone else's.
