Self-distribution

Self-distribution opens the possibility for you to promote and distribute your apps through your own channels and earn a revenue share of 85%. The 15% that would go to our partners will be given to the developer, making the applicable revenue share as follows:

EntityRevenue share
Aptoide Catappult15%
Certified Developer85%

By using this distribution method, you will be able to distribute and promote your app through your own channel and be able to reach your users directly. With this, instead of receiving 75% for each in-app purchase, this percentage rises to 85%.

FAQ

If I activate self-distribution, do I always receive 85% of the in-app purchases' revenue?
No. If the user downloads your app using your own URL, you receive 85%. However, if the user downloads your app from Aptoide or one of our partner stores, you will receive 75% of the in-app purchases revenue.

What happens if I have any splits or .obb files?
If your app has any splits or .obb files, you have to download them separately, one by one, and be in charge of the distribution of those files.

Can I only have the self-distribution on and turn off the partner store distribution?
No. You can either distribute on our partner stores or, distribute on our partner stores and do self-distribution simultaneously. It is not possible to turn off the partner store distribution and use only the self-distribution.

I have updated my app, how can I distribute this new version?
When you update your app, you need to download the new version's APK and distribute that on your channel. When you go to the "Versions" section on the "App view" page, you will see the most recent update of your app and be able to download the APK by following the instructions above.
