Who we work with

We work with publishers from South Asia

Many data and monetization companies do not accept publishers based in India, Bangladesh or Pakistan. We do. This program is only for developers in these three countries, and your users can be anywhere in the world.

Why Gharial

Made for the developers others pass on

  • A fixed CPM

    $5 for every 1,000 daily active users, and $10 in the EU and other Zone 1 countries. It does not move with ad demand, fill rate or season.

  • We say yes

    Other companies often reject publishers based in India, Bangladesh or Pakistan. Those are the publishers we work with.

  • Extra income, not a swap

    Keep your ad networks, your other data partners and your in-app purchases. Gharial is one more source of income.

  • Simple to integrate

    One dependency, one key and a few lines of code. The integration guide takes you through each step.

  • Light on the phone

    A small SDK designed for low-cost devices and patchy connections, with low battery and data use.

  • No ads, no screen space

    The SDK runs in the background. Your layout and your user experience stay as they are.

How it works

From sign-up to earning in three steps

  1. 01

    Create your account

    Sign up in the dashboard. It takes a few minutes and costs nothing.

  2. 02

    Add your app and get a key

    Register each Android or iOS app. Every app gets its own key.

  3. 03

    Add the SDK and ship

    Follow the integration guide and release your update. Daily users and earnings appear in the dashboard.

// build.gradle.kts
dependencies {
    implementation("com.gharialdata:sdk:1.0.0")
}

// Application.kt
class App : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        Gharial.start(this, "YOUR_APP_KEY")
    }
}
// Package.swift
.package(url: "https://github.com/gharialdata/ios-sdk", from: "1.0.0")

// AppDelegate.swift
import Gharial

func application(_ application: UIApplication,
                 didFinishLaunchingWithOptions options: LaunchOptions?) -> Bool {
    Gharial.start(appKey: "YOUR_APP_KEY")
    return true
}

Example only. The integration guide has the exact steps.

Earnings

Fixed rates and simple maths

CPM is what you earn each month for every 1,000 daily active users. We take your average daily active users for the month and count the users who have location turned on.

  • Your users can be anywhere in the world.
  • Only users who allow location count.
  • The dashboard shows daily users and earnings for each app.
  • We pay every month.

What the SDK does

Clear about the data

Gharial collects anonymous mobile network data from users who give consent: signal strength, connection type, speed and the location of each measurement. Network operators and analysts use it to see where coverage needs to improve. That is what pays for your fixed rate.

Your app needs location permission

A user counts towards your earnings only when they have allowed location. Gharial fits best in apps that already have a reason to ask for it.

It does

  • Ask each user for consent first
  • Measure network quality in the background
  • Stop when a user withdraws consent

It does not

  • Show ads or change your interface
  • Read contacts, messages, photos or files
  • Collect names, phone numbers or email addresses
