What is an app ad revenue share agreement?
An ad revenue share agreement pays each party a fixed percentage of the in-app advertising income an app generates, instead of a flat fee. In the Android publishing world the common shape is: one party builds, publishes and maintains the app and runs its ad monetization; the publishing partner whose Google Play account distributes it receives an agreed percentage of net ad revenue. Net matters — the split is normally applied after the ad network's own cut and after Google's platform fees, so ask explicitly which line the percentage applies to. A well-written agreement names the ad networks in use, the reporting dashboard both sides can read, the payout day, and what happens to the app if either side exits. Full explainer here.
