Automates UA bidding to lock in sub-$1 CPI for indie mobile games across all networks.
Small mobile game teams face skyrocketing player acquisition costs that make sustaining their games unprofitable.
CPIHunter connects to your ad accounts (Meta, Google, Unity) and uses ML to auto-adjust bids, targeting, and budgets based on real-time CPI predictions from indie benchmarks. It pauses underperformers and scales winners, ensuring profitability even as costs rise. Dashboards show savings and ROAS forecasts tailored to small teams.
