ORCA Ads · SDK

Turn your app inventory into a performance revenue engine.

The ORCA Ads SDK connects your app to performance advertiser demand — thousands of active campaigns — that bids on every impression in real time. Grow ad revenue and ARPDAU while keeping full control of the player experience, with a lightweight integration that works alongside your existing mediation.

01 · Monetization that competes for every impression

Most apps leave revenue on the table one impression at a time.

Publishers work hard to grow and retain users, then hand their most valuable moments to demand that does not compete for them. When only a few networks bid, fill is uneven and eCPMs stall. The revenue difference is not one big lever — it is thousands of impressions priced below what an advertiser would actually pay.

The ORCA Ads SDK brings performance advertiser demand directly into your auction, so each impression is priced by advertisers optimizing toward real business outcomes. More competition per impression means higher yield, without adding another disconnected workflow.

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

02 · From integration to incremental revenue

Add competitive demand in four steps.

1. Integrate the SDK

Add the ORCA Ads SDK to your app — under 2 MB compiled, with native iOS and Android libraries plus Unity, React Native, and Flutter plugins. It runs alongside your existing mediation, so you do not have to replace what already works. Most publishers complete the integration in under two weeks.

2. Open your inventory to demand

Expose approved ad placements to performance advertisers who bid on your impressions in real time, based on the outcomes they are optimizing toward.

3. Let the auction compete

Every eligible impression is priced by live competition. More bidders optimizing toward value means higher clearing prices on the users worth the most.

4. Grow yield with control

Read revenue, fill, and eCPM by placement, and tune formats, floors, and controls to balance monetization with the player experience.

03 · Built for publisher yield

The demand, controls, and insight to grow ad revenue.

Direct performance demand

Bring thousands of active campaigns from advertisers optimizing toward real business outcomes into your auction across 190+ markets, so bids reflect the value of your users rather than generic network pricing.

Real-time bidding

Price every eligible impression through live competition. Bids return inside a 200-millisecond timeout, so high-value users clear at higher eCPMs instead of a fixed rate — and a slow response never blocks your waterfall.

Works with your mediation

Add ORCA demand as a bidding line item alongside your current setup, either through your mediation platform's custom adapter or as a direct in-app bidding source. No rip-and-replace migration.

ARPDAU and eCPM optimization

Optimize the revenue outcomes publishers actually manage against — ARPDAU, eCPM, and fill — with reporting broken out by placement, format, country, and ad unit, and raw exports into your own BI stack.

First-party data control

You keep ownership of your data and the user relationship. The SDK passes only the signals required to run the auction, supports the standard consent frameworks, and never uses your user data to target on another publisher's inventory.

Lightweight, stable integration

Under 2 MB compiled, supporting iOS 14 and later, Android API 24 and later, and Unity 2021 LTS and later, with monthly releases and semantic versioning so upgrades stay predictable. Ad rendering runs off the main thread to protect frame rate.

04 · Revenue you can measure

Grow the ad business without growing the headache.

Raise ARPDAU

Earn more from the users you already have by pricing each impression through real competition — publishers adding competitive demand often see double-digit ARPDAU gains.

Lift eCPM and fill

Add bidders that compete for premium moments so more impressions clear at stronger prices, with eCPM uplift of roughly 15–25% on high-value placements.

Protect the experience

Keep formats, frequency caps, price floors, and placements under your control, with advertiser-category blocklists you set. Monetization supports retention instead of eroding it.

Integrate fast

Go live in days once the SDK ships in your build — most publishers finish integration in under two weeks, not a multi-quarter migration.

05 · Built for how apps monetize

Grow ad revenue across monetization models.

Ad-supported games

Raise ARPDAU on rewarded, interstitial, and banner placements with demand that competes for engaged players.

Hybrid monetization apps

Balance in-app purchases and in-app advertising, using competitive demand to grow the ad share without hurting spend.

Content and utility apps

Monetize high-engagement sessions with relevant, well-controlled ad experiences.
