Appcharge Web Store vs DT FairBid

Appcharge Web Store is a hosted web storefront for mobile game publishers and studios that want to sell directly to players. Publishers configure prices, offers, currencies, payment methods and regional rules, while Appcharge hosts and maintains the store. Stores can mirror a game’s appearance and include daily bonuses, progress bars, checkout upsells, rolling offers, post-purchase offers, promo codes, coupons, subscriptions and loyalty programs. LiveOps personalization, localized currencies and seamless login support the player journey, with VIP exclusives and early-access rewards also listed. APIs, SDKs and webhooks connect the store with publisher systems and can synchronize game economy, segments and player data in real time. Checkout supports alternative payment methods and localized flows. Appcharge’s Merchant of Record service covers taxes, payment processing, risk management and compliance. It lists PCI DSS Level 1 compliance, SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 certification, and GDPR, COPPA and CCPA alignment. Pricing is on request.

DT FairBid is a publisher monetization service for integrating and managing multiple mediated ad networks on apps or other publisher properties. Publishers configure apps, placements, and networks in DT Console; at least one placement is required to monetize an app. For bidding networks, DT runs an auction for a placement across the networks added to it. Waterfall mediation instead offers the placement to networks in the publisher's chosen order. FairBid demonstrates banner, interstitial, rewarded-video, and MREC formats, with integration guides for networks including Meta Audience Network, Liftoff Monetize, and Amazon Publisher Services. The service supports Android, iOS, and Unity apps and provides Management, Reporting, and User Level Reporting APIs. Those APIs require authentication tokens obtained with verification keys. Privacy options include disabling collection and transmission of the Android advertising ID and flagging users as children; documentation also covers mediated-network support for child-directed flags, GDPR consent strings, and CCPA opt-out strings. DT FairBid is provided free of charge, with publishers collecting payments directly from mediated ad networks.
