What is Stack?

Stack is an end-to-end solution by Appodeal that scales mobile app business growth and drive profit by synthesizing User Acquisition, Ad Monetization and Business Intelligence.

Stack is an independent market player that strives to clear the way for publishers and advertisers to collaborate directly. In an industry known for being opaque, Stack aims to increase transparency and empower mobile app businesses with the technology and information they need to thrive in a highly competitive landscape.

Stack’s Journey

Stack is the natural progression of a vision that emerged back in 2014 when our founder Pavel Golubev owned and operated a mobile apps publishing company called Alfa Productions.

Alfa Productions published more than 3,000 apps and monetized primarily through ads. Frustrated with the amount of time and resources it took to manage ad monetization, Pavel developed his own mediation tool that quickly increased total ad revenue by 270% — and gave rise to Appodeal.

Officially launched in January 2015, Appodeal was the first solution of its kind. It was an ad mediation platform created by publishers, for publishers — which meant that it was designed with the specific need to increase mobile ad revenue.

By 2017, however, the market had evolved and publishers were beginning to face different, more complex problems. So the Appodeal team began working on new innovative solutions that respond to publishers’ unique needs and scale in line with business growth.

In 2019, we launch a new robust set of solutions. Our offerings folded under one holistic brand called Stack.
