1. Overview

Built on its large user base, HUAWEI AppGallery provides Android users with secure and quality download service.
Ranked high in the apps available, distributed games, and user quality, HUAWEI AppGallery provides a convenient and quality platform for various app developers and is committed to building a fair, targeted, and efficient release channel to increase app exposure and download rate.

2. Promotion model

The promotion service is charged based on cost per download (CPD).
Spent = Bid per download * number of downloads

Note: 
The number of downloads includes downloads by new users only and does not include updates. You can be assured that your every penny is well spent.


How does a user download an app from HUAWEI AppGallery?
We provide dedicated CPD promotion slots in the HUAWEI AppGallery. Once you have topped up your account and set a promotion task, you will be enrolled in the bidding list. Our smart algorithm is able to find the matching user group and promote your app to the targeted users and ensure high conversion rate. Your app quality and CPD bid are critical to impressions and downloads. A higher bid will increase your app’s impressions, but this is not the only decisive factor.

3. Features

3.1 Quick launch

CPD-based promotion is launched immediately after you have gone through the required procedures including signing of agreement, app review and test, and account top-up.
You may also launch or end a promotion task, or set a promotion time based on your business needs. You do not need to negotiate a schedule with HUAWEI AppGallery.

3.2 New user-based service fee

The funds in your account will be invested in your app promotion only and no other charges are involved. You will be charged based on the download report that we will provide after a new user has downloaded your app.

3.3 Manageable cost

You have full control over your account. You may start or end a promotion task, and set a daily budget limit to control your cost. When your account balance is insufficient for a promotion, the system will suspend the promotion until you top up your account.

3.4 Transparent data

There are plenty of opportunities on HUAWEI AppGallery to generate impressions, but you don’t have to study the value of each promotion slot. Instead, you may simply select an app you want to promote and offer your bid, and leave the rest to our system that can automatically display your app at an appropriate slot based on factors such as relevance, popularity, and your bid.
