Our take
As mobile usage has exploded over the past decade, it's no surprise that the mobile app market is witnessing a great deal of growth. Due to the continuing advances in technology, the demand and popularity of apps are ever-growing, with increased competition for app creators to stand out and attract new users becoming tougher.
Helping these creators stand out from the crowd is Kovalee, a Paris-based mobile app publishing company providing the tools and know-how to scale, optimise and monetise apps, leaving the creators to focus on the content they're making. Since its launch in 2020, Kovalee has secured over 20 contracts and partners across the globe and has witnessed a number of its clients grow from small startups to multimillion-dollar companies in less than a year.
