AppLovin

AppLovin runs a two-sided adtech and media monetization platform spanning mobile apps and connected TV. On the supply side, it provides MAX for in‑app mediation and Wurl for CTV/FAST channel distribution, enabling publishers and broadcasters to access demand from AppLovin and third-party networks in unified auctions and SSAI-enabled streams. On the demand side, AppDiscovery and the AXON engine allow advertisers and app marketers to run performance-focused campaigns, while Adjust provides unbiased attribution and analytics across channels. The company creates value by increasing monetization yields for publishers, improving user acquisition efficiency and measurement accuracy for advertisers, and leveraging its AI-driven AXON engine across the stack to optimize impression-level pricing and creative performance. In addition to platform economics, AppLovin owns a portfolio of consumer apps and mobile games, generating direct in‑app purchase and ad revenues and supplying proprietary inventory to its ad systems. This mix of third-party SaaS/adtech products and owned media properties positions the business as both a technology vendor and a scaled media arbitrator, monetizing via the flow of ad spend, subscriptions or contracts for analytics, and revenue from its owned content.
