AppBacked / How it works

Our money.
Your growth.
Half the upside.

We invest our own budget and team in your app. You keep everything you make today. We share only revenue above your current line, for 24 months, and then we step away.

01 The deal

Four numbers.

The same for every app. Your numbers decide the size of the budget, not the terms.

100%of today's revenue stays yours. Your 3‑month average is the line.
$0you put in. No fees, no repayments, no equity.
50/50on revenue above the line, for 24 months.
6×your monthly revenue: the most we put behind an app to start.

02 Step by step

Test first. Then scale.

We spend in small steps and only keep spending where it pays back. Nobody is locked into a bet that isn't working.

  1. 10 seconds

    X-ray

    Paste your link. See the obvious levers on your store page.

  2. 48 hours

    Growth plan

    We read your reports and send a budget, the channels and what we fix first.

  3. Month 1

    Test, on us

    Store page, paywall and small paid tests. Either side can walk away after it. Nobody owes anything.

  4. Months 2–24

    Scale and split

    We grow what pays back. Revenue above the line is split 50/50. You get a statement every month.

  5. Month 25

    All yours

    We step away. The growth, the ad accounts and every user we paid for stay with you.

03 Follow the money

Our money never touches your account.

We pay for growth directly. Revenue comes in as usual. Only what's above your line gets shared.

Where our money goesUp to 6×

Into growth. Not into your bank.

AppBacked budget Ad networks Creatives Store & paywall More users, more revenue

Ad accounts and creatives are built in your name. We fund them directly and stop anything that doesn't pay back.

Where the revenue goes50/50

Your line stays yours.

Store revenue Up to your line 100% YOURS Above your line GROWTH You 50% Us 50% FOR 24 MONTHS, THEN 100% YOU

The line is your average net store revenue over the three months before we start. A month below the line means our share is zero.

Bigger budgets can run through our publisher account for the term, so store payouts and our share settle automatically. Your app comes back to your account at the end. Your code, brand, users and IP stay yours either way.

04 What if

Three ways it can go.

Same app, three futures. Example: $10,000 a month today, a $60,000 budget. In the worst one, we lose. You don't.

05 Fair both ways

What we look at. What we ask.

We bet our own money, so we look hard before we do. Then we ask for very little.

What we look at

  • Six months or more of store revenue history.
  • Retention, refunds and how steady the curve is.
  • The levers: store page, paywall, pricing, untapped markets.
  • Monetization that already works: subscriptions, purchases or ads.
  • Your standing with Apple and Google.

What we ask in return

  • Keep the app live and updated during the term.
  • Keep its revenue in the store, not in a side channel.
  • Read-only revenue reports and access to the ad accounts we run.
  • Pay our share each month, after your store payout lands.
