Our take

Chartboost is an in-app monetization and programmatic advertising platform that empowers mobile app developers to earn high CPMs by providing the tools needed to connect them with a wider range of advertisers and unique, engaged audiences.

Chartboost was acquired by Zynga in 2021 – which was then acquired itself by gaming giant Take-Two interactive less than a year later – which brought the company to the forefront of the expanding app monetization market and further strengthened its position as a strong competitor against companies such as Facebook, Google, and Twitter (MoPub).

The company reaches over 700 million users every month across more than 200,000 mobile apps – working with a majority of the highest-grossing iOS and Android app developers. The company has remained focused on the continued development of new capabilities to add to its expansive suite of products, recently launching a new all-in-one comprehensive solution, Chartboost Mediation, in January 2023.
