Have you tried any of these? I knew most of them, except for SafeDK, which seems pretty interesting one. On the other hand, really like that GlobalHop lets you calculate estimated revenue on their page, as you can see how many downloads and users your app needs to have, for you to consider if its worth getting in touch with them. 🤔

There are many types of SDKs.
If you are a developer who wants to make money, you can also learn about PacketSDK. That's a good SDK, I think it's pretty good.

Hey @johnston616

If you're open to new suggestions for your list, I'd recommend taking at peek at Tutela. Similar to GlobalHop, Tutela's SDK is an option for ad-free monetization.

We work with telecom companies to measure and improve mobile network quality worldwide. The SDK collects only anonymous mobile network analytics, like signal strength.

Quick stats on the Tutela SDK:

  • Ad-free and collects no personal data
  • Fully GDPR compliant
  • Integrated into 2000+ unique apps
  • Virtually zero impact on user experience (less than 1% impact on battery or CPU, no ads, only 200kb)
  • Pays monthly based on DAUs

More info here: tutela.com/app-developers

Cheers!

PacketSDK-App monetization

Great post! I’d like to add another monetization option that’s especially useful for developers looking for non-intrusive ways to earn from their apps: PacketSDK.

PacketSDK lets you monetize your app by leveraging unused bandwidth from users—without showing ads or adding paywalls. Some key points:

💡 Zero user disruption – no ads, no interruptions to the user experience

💸 Completely free for developers – 100% of the revenue goes to you

🔧 Easy to integrate and works well with utility, productivity, and background apps

If you're looking for additional revenue streams without compromising your UX, it's definitely worth checking out:

Hope this helps someone exploring new monetization ideas!
