Discover strategic tips and insights for maximizing app distribution and advertising through mobile OEMs and Alternative App Stores in our comprehensive guide.
Alternative app stores are app distribution platforms provided by mobile OEMs outside of the Google Play or Apple App Store ecosystems. Alternative app stores are pre-installed on all OEM devices and come with their own set of features and rules. Alternative app stores tend to offer more flexibility in app offerings, payment methods, and advertising options.
Alternative app stores enable app developers to reach new and untapped audiences, especially in regions where OEMs hold substantial market shares. They provide less crowded spaces than Google Play or Apple’s App Store, which can lead to higher visibility, increased downloads, and improved app retention. Additionally, they offer more options for payment and billing flexibility, which can be beneficial for monetizing apps effectively.
Alternative app stores often feature apps prominently due to their myriad of advertising and “featuring” options. Options like being highlighted as the “App of the Day” or using banner and video placements within the store’s interface make it easier for apps to stand out. This increased visibility can lead to higher install rates and greater brand recognition, especially for apps entering highly competitive markets.
Many alternative app stores allow more flexible payment options than Google Play or Apple’s App Store. OEM app stores often integrate with regional payment systems, offer more user-friendly in-app billing, and allow the use of third-party payment options, which helps developers avoid the high revenue shares (often 30%) typically taken by Google and Apple.
Alternative app stores provide robust targeting options, including device-specific targeting (e.g., showing ads only on high-performance devices for high-fidelity gaming apps), geographic targeting, and behavioral targeting based on app engagement. OEMs have access to first-party device data, allowing for precise targeting, which helps apps reach their ideal user base more effectively than on broader app stores.
