Who it’s for
Mintegral serves app developers and marketers globally, with strong traction in gaming, utilities, and entertainment. It works for advertisers scaling user acquisition and for publishers monetizing their apps through programmatic demand.
Ad formats
Mintegral supports rewarded video, interstitial video, playable ads, and native ads. Rewarded video gives users an in-app incentive (coins, extra lives, game currency) for watching an ad, driving completion rates well above standard video. Interstitials appear at natural break points within an app session. Native ads match the visual style of the app they run in.
Playable ads are Mintegral’s standout format. Users interact with a mini-version of the advertised game or app before deciding to install. This self-selection means users who install after a playable tend to have significantly higher retention and in-app spend than those acquired through static or standard video ads.
Playable creative is handled through Mindworks, Mintegral’s in-house creative studio.
AI and bidding
Mintegral’s Smart Bidding uses machine learning to optimize toward conversion and long-term revenue goals. Smart Bidding ad spend grew over 50% in 2024 as advertisers shifted from install volume to value-based optimization. The system learns from post-install events and in-app behavior to identify users likely to generate long-term revenue, not just those most likely to install. For gaming advertisers focused on ROAS, this distinction matters.
Publisher monetization
Mintegral’s in-app bidding connects publishers to programmatic demand in real time. Publishers access demand from Mintegral’s DSP and third-party buyers simultaneously, enabling competitive auction pricing for each impression.
