As an app developer, how can you generate passive income?

[water010101 2]

As a developer,i am facing issues like:
1. Ads disrupting immersive gameplay, leading to poor retention and user feedback

2. Low in-app purchase conversion rates that only capture a small portion of users

3. Subscription models that are hard to scale globally and may cause user churn 
A fellow developer recommended PacketSDK to me: [

It's a free monetization tool that pays based on user active time — no ads, no disruption to the user experience. Sounds perfect for apps that focus on user engagement and retention.

Anyone here thinking of giving it a try? Want to test it together?

You're definitely not alone in facing those monetization challenges, intrusive ads can hurt retention, and in-app purchases/subscriptions often convert a very small percentage of users.

PacketSDK’s time-based monetization model is interesting, essentially rewarding developers based on how much time users spend in the app. Here’s how that stacks up compared to your current pain points:

 

Pros:

No ads: smoother, uninterrupted gameplay

Passive revenue from all users, not just a tiny paying segment

Engagement-based: aligns with games/apps where time spent = success

Easy to test: (if it really is plug-and-play as they claim)

 

Considerations:

Revenue potential: how does their time-based payout compare to your existing CPM or ARPU?

Data collection/privacy: how is user time tracked and what permissions are needed?

SDK weight: does it add to app size or conflict with your existing setup?
