ORCA Ads · SDK

Connect your app business to real-time bidding from performance advertisers.

ORCA Ads is a mobile DSP for global advertisers and media-buying teams. The SDK opens your app impressions to those advertisers: they bid on predicted user value, optimizing for acquisition, conversions, and ROAS. Every qualified impression enters real-time bidding, eCPM is built on real demand competition, and placements and experience stay under your control.

01 · Monetization that competes on every impression

A lot of app revenue is lost on underpriced impressions.

Publishers grow users, then often hand the most valuable moments to demand that does not compete enough. Few bidders, unstable fill, and eCPM that will not rise. The gap is impression by impression: the price sits below what a performance advertiser would pay for this user.

The ORCA Ads SDK brings performance demand from the DSP directly into your auction. Advertisers are bidding for acquisition, conversions, and ROAS; your impressions are scored by user value in real time. Competition happens on every request, yield can rise, and existing mediation does not have to be torn down.

  • How much revenue are we leaving in unsold or underpriced impressions?
  • Which demand is actually competing for our highest-value users?
  • Can we raise eCPM without hurting retention or the player experience?
  • How do we add demand without dismantling existing mediation?
  • Who owns the data and the user relationship?

02 · From integration to incremental revenue

Four steps to join competitive demand.

1. Integrate the SDK

Add the ORCA Ads SDK to the app. Native iOS and Android libraries are available, plus Unity, React Native, and Flutter plugins, with a light compile size. It runs alongside existing mediation, so monetization already in production can keep working.

2. Open inventory to demand

Open approved ad placements to performance advertisers on ORCA Ads. They bid on your impressions in real time against the acquisition, conversion, or ROAS goals they are optimizing.

3. Let the auction compete

Every qualified impression is priced by real-time competition. Advertisers are bidding on user value, so clearing prices on high-value users have more room to rise.

4. Grow yield under your control

Read revenue, fill, and eCPM by placement. Adjust formats, floor prices, and frequency to balance ad revenue and user experience.

03 · Built for publisher yield

The demand, control, and insight advertising revenue needs.

Direct performance demand

Bring advertiser demand that is optimizing real business outcomes into your auction. Bids reflect this user's acquisition and return value to the advertiser; price is formed by real-time bidding.

Real-time bidding

Price every qualified impression through real-time competition. Bids return inside a millisecond-level timeout, high-value users have a chance to clear at higher eCPM, and slow responses will not stall an existing waterfall.

Works with your mediation

Add ORCA demand as a bidding line item in the current setup, through a custom adapter on the mediation platform or as a direct in-app bidding source. No rip-and-replace migration is required.

ARPDAU and eCPM optimization

Optimize around the revenue outcomes publishers actually manage: ARPDAU, eCPM, and fill. Reporting splits by placement, format, country, and ad unit, and raw data can be exported to your own BI.

First-party data control

You keep ownership of the data and the user relationship. The SDK only passes the signals needed to run the auction, supports standard consent frameworks, and will not use your user data to target inventory on another publisher.

Light, stable integration

Compile size stays light. Support covers iOS 14 and later, Android API 24 and later, and Unity 2021 LTS and later, with React Native and Flutter plugins. Releases follow semantic versioning, so upgrade paths are predictable. Ad rendering runs off the main thread to protect frame rate.

04 · Revenue you can measure

Grow advertising revenue, and keep monetization complexity in bounds.

Lift ARPDAU

Price every impression through real competition, and get more ad revenue from users you already have. Performance advertisers bid on user value, so yield on quality users has a better chance of being priced correctly.

Lift eCPM and fill

Add bidders competing for quality moments, so more impressions clear at a more reasonable price. Fill and eCPM can be read separately by placement, then you decide where more demand is worth adding.

Protect the experience

Formats, frequency caps, price floors, and placements stay under your control, with advertiser-category blocks you define. Monetization should serve retention, under the same constraints as user experience.

Integrate quickly

Once the SDK is in the build, go-live can proceed. It joins as an additional bidding source in parallel, with the goal of adding demand and shortening the monetization-side onboarding cycle.

05 · Built for how apps monetize

Grow advertising revenue across monetization models.

Ad-supported games

Connect demand that bids on user value into rewarded, interstitial, and banner placements, and lift ARPDAU on engaged players.

Hybrid-monetization apps

Balance in-app purchases and in-app ads. Use performance demand to raise the advertising share, while keeping frequency and placement control on the product side to reduce interference with paying users.

Content and utility apps

Connect relevant, controlled ad experiences into high-engagement sessions, so impressions enter real-time bidding from performance advertisers.
