HProxy SDK

Monetize your app without ads. Your users choose to share. We pay you for them.

Add the HProxy SDK to your Android app. Users who agree share a little of their unused internet, on Wi-Fi and with a notification on screen, and we pay you every month for the ones who do. Register your app, we look at it, and you get an offer.

  • Android apps outside Google Play
  • Windows programs next
  • A clear yes from every user
  • An offer for every app we accept

Consent

What your users see before the SDK shares.

Nothing runs before the user agrees. The SDK keeps a fingerprint of the exact words they read, and it refuses to share a single byte without it.

While it shares, the notification says so. Your users pause it from there, and stop it for good inside your app.

  • Our consent screen, word for word
  • A notification whenever it shares, with Pause
  • Wi-Fi only and a daily limit unless you change them
  • One tap in your app stops it for good

Share your unused internet

This app includes the HProxy SDK. If you agree, your phone shares part of its unused internet connection with HProxy: other companies' web requests go out through your connection, and the websites they visit see your IP address.

Nothing on your phone is read or changed, and your home network is never reached.

It shares only on Wi-Fi, and at most 1 GB a day.

A notification shows whenever it shares, with a button to pause it.

Integration

Add the HProxy SDK to your Android app in three lines.

The SDK brings its own foreground service, notification and watchdog. It waits on mobile data, a VPN or a low battery, and goes on by itself after.

Sharing runs in the background, in the SDK's own service, apart from your app's screens.

  • One library, Android 7 and newer
  • Signs each phone up with your app key
  • Comes back by itself after a restart

Kotlin

HProxySdk.init(context, "your app key")

// once, when your app starts

HProxySdk.showConsent(activity) { agreed -> }

// our consent screen

HProxySdk.start(context)

// shares from now on

Pause, resume and opt out stay in your app, for your users.

Payouts

How you get paid for the users who share.

Apps differ in who uses them and where, so a single price would be wrong for most of them. Register yours and we come back with what we pay for it.

What counts is how many of your users share, the countries they're in, and how long their phones stay on Wi-Fi.

  • We review every app ourselves
  • Paid for the users who share
  • Monthly payments
  1. 1

    You register your app

    Its link, where users get it, how many use it each month.

  2. 2

    We look at it ourselves

    A person checks the app and where it is distributed.

  3. 3

    You get an offer

    What we pay depends on your users and their countries.

  4. 4

    Your key, and you ship

    Your app key goes into the SDK, and payments run monthly.

Ways to monetize

How free apps make money, and where the SDK fits.

Most free apps earn from ads, in-app purchases or subscriptions. Ads sit on your screens and earn from attention. Purchases and subscriptions earn only from the users who pay.

The HProxy SDK earns from the users who agree to share a little unused internet on Wi-Fi. They don't watch anything or buy anything, and it runs beside the ways you already use.

With your ads

Hybrid monetization: no ads for users who share.

The SDK runs beside your ads and in-app purchases, so you can give the users who share something back. The simplest gift is an app without ads. A game can give coins or extra lives instead.

One check does it: hasConsent tells your app who agreed to share, and your own ad code does the rest. Users who say no keep the app as it is today, so you earn either way.

Kotlin

if (HProxySdk.hasConsent(context)) hideAds()

// hideAds() stands for your own ad code

Agreed to share
No ads, and we pay you for them
Said no
Your ads, as before

Outside Google Play

Monetize an Android app outside Google Play.

Lots of Android apps never go through Google Play. People get them as an APK from the maker's own website, from APK sites, or from other Android stores.

Those apps have fewer ways to earn. Google Play's billing works only for apps published on Google Play, so purchases need a payment setup of your own.

The HProxy SDK is made for these apps. It needs no store account and no payment setup: your users agree on our consent screen, and we pay you for the ones who share.

  • Android apps outside Google Play: APK sites, your own site, other stores
  • Apps whose whole purpose is sharing
  • Windows programs, as the Windows SDK opens
  • Apps on Google Play whose purpose is something else (Google's rule)
  • Pirated, cracked or modded apps
  • Any app that shares without the user's yes

On the phone

What goes through a phone that shares.

The HProxy SDK is a bandwidth sharing SDK. Companies use HProxy to see the web as people in each country see it: prices, search results, ads.

Their requests go out through phones that share and reach public websites, which see the phone's IP address. Your users agree to exactly that, in those words.

Nothing on the phone is read or changed, and the home network is never reached. Our network refuses banks and payment sites, government and military sites, police and emergency services, patient portals and utilities.

  1. 1

    A company asks for a page

    A price, a search result or an ad, as people in one country see it

  2. 2

    HProxy's network checks it

    Refused sites stop here

  3. 3

    A phone that shares carries it

    On Wi-Fi, with its notification showing

  4. 4

    A public website answers

    It sees the phone's IP address, like any visitor's

Refused by our network

  • Banks and payment sites
  • Government and military sites
  • Police and emergency services
  • Patient portals
  • Utilities

Other ways to reach us

With in-app purchases, with subscriptions, or with an SDK that pays you for the users who agree to share a little of their unused internet. The HProxy SDK is the third kind. It can earn from users who never buy anything or tap an ad, and it runs beside the other two.

Yes. The HProxy SDK is made for Android apps that people get outside Google Play: from your own website as an APK, from APK sites, or from other Android stores. Tell us where your app is published when you register.

Yes, it runs beside them. You can turn your ads off for the users who share: they get a cleaner app, and we pay you for them.

It runs in its own service, apart from your app's screens. It waits on mobile data unless you allow it, while a VPN is on, and below 20% battery when the phone isn't charging. It keeps the phone awake only on the charger or while it carries requests.

Every app gets its own offer after we review it, based on how many of its users share and in which countries. We pay monthly for the users who share.

No. iOS lets this kind of SDK run only while the app is open on screen, so it would share almost nothing. Windows programs come next.

A person at HProxy reads them to review your app and to write back to you. They stay in our partner records and are used for nothing else.

From ads, in-app purchases, subscriptions, or SDKs that pay for something users agree to give, such as a little unused internet on Wi-Fi. Many free apps combine two or more of them.

A library a developer adds to an app so it earns money without building the business behind it. An ad network's SDK shows ads, a payments SDK sells extras, and a bandwidth SDK like ours pays you for the users who agree to share a little unused internet.

After the user agrees, it keeps one connection open to our network while the phone is on Wi-Fi, and other companies' web requests go out through it to public websites. It reads nothing on the phone and never reaches the user's home network. Our network refuses banks and payment sites, government sites, emergency services and patient portals.

It depends on how many of your users share, in which countries, and how long their phones stay on Wi-Fi. Register your app with those numbers and we come back with an offer.

Google Play allows bandwidth sharing only in apps whose whole purpose is sharing. So the SDK is for Android apps that people get outside Google Play, and for apps built for sharing.

With Pause in the notification at any time, and for good inside your app, which calls the SDK's opt-out. It stops within seconds either way.

Your users, your offer.
