Open source / business model

I have not found SDKBox source. Is SDKBox open source ? if not, what is the business model ?

At this time SDKBOX is closed source. The business model is that we give it to you FREE just like we do our other offerings. Free as in you do not pay anything :slight_smile:

Thanks for the answer.

You have a team working on this project, it is closed source and you mention “free” as if you want to sell something.
Do you collect and sell data from app (ios/android devices) which use sdkbox ? Do you plan to add paid options ?

This is a great product and i will use it for my apps. I just ask these informations to know what is inside my apps.

Thanks and keep up the good work guys!

From my understanding they take money from Services providers they integrated :slight_smile:

And maybe :smiley: serve they Ads))) in between your :smiley:

what are you talking about serving “their ads” ???

that must be plainly wrong!

Yes, they do collect data, but they don’t sell it(at least if you believe them). You can read about it here.

They can’t serve them to you, because therefore they would need to implement their own Ad service, which they haven’t. SDKBox is just a wrapper/mediator of the well known Ad networks.

The configuration of those is still in your hands, not theirs.

Yes, this does happen. No, I can promise you all that we don’t sell any of the data. We use it to decide where to focus engineering efforts.

We don’t do any ad serving as @IQD stated.

We do work with service providers to do the integrations.
