In-App Purchases
Offering app users extra features or content to make them buy within the app. It is one of the favorite monetization methods among the developers of free mobile apps.

There are three types of mobile ad revenue: Cost per Thousand Impressions (CPM), Cost per Click (CPC) and Cost per Action (CPA).
App Subscriptions (Freemium Models)
In subscription-based revenue model, app developers make app users pay on a monthly/yearly basis to get access to premium features.
Influencer Marketing
It is another effective way of app monetization based on monetizing the user base or an app’s target audience. This is a common method among e-commerce apps that attract the attention of brands.
