This section features affiliate networks that support the CPI (Cost Per Install) commission type. With this model, desktop and mobile publishers are rewarded by advertisers for each mobile app install they manage to generate via their inventory.
For app developers, this commission model is an extra channel to grow the user base of their apps and augment their native traffic campaigns that are based on the app stores built-in search capability.
