What is Bright SDK For Developers?
What is Bright SDK For Developers?
It’s a new way for you to monetize your apps, that does not disturb the user but works in the background.BrightSDK helps companies collect information that is publicly available on the web. It uses the user’s IP address to download a few web pages in the background from well known Internet sites. This is done in a way that never interrupts the user, and is totally GDPR/CCPA compliant. The webpages are then sent to the companies, who use them to improve their databases, offering better products, services and pricing. It does not matter if you offer a free, paid or ad-supported app, you can decide when to integrate the BrightSDK offer in your user flows to maximize your revenue. Here are just 3 examples of how you can use Bright SDK to optimize your revenue:
- Paid app: At the end of a paid app’s trial period, offer BrightSDK to the user in exchange for a trial extension, or a limited version of the paid version. This gives you more time to convert the user to payment – and generates additional revenue until they convert.
- Free, ad-supported app: Offer BrightSDK to the user as an alternative to the ad-supported version. Not only will user experience be better and retention higher, you will generate higher revenue than with the ad supported version.
- Free app: Ask your user to support you by accepting the BrightSDK offer.
Why should I use it?
Why should I use it?
- It is an additional revenue channel that can be implemented in parallel to your existing monetization in order to maximize revenue. In some cases, Bright SDK is more profitable than standard premium (license/subscription) or free (ad-supported) revenue models.
- It improves the user experience for your app. Offering a few premium features for free or removing ads means happier users, more organic downloads and better reviews.
- Help major companies fight Internet fraud, consumers to get best prices online, and universities and researchers to have high quality data.
Is Bright SDK good for software or hardware providers?
Is Bright SDK good for software or hardware providers?
Both. Bright SDK for developers can run as an SDK (for software) or as an embedded library (for hardware).Most of the information presented in this FAQ mentions software provides, but is totally applicable for hardware providers as well. The only difference is in how the code is implemented on the software or device.If you are a hardware manufacturer (router, IoT etc) please contact us to discuss your platform. Note that we pay NRE fees for implementation in addition to per-device license.

Bright Data gets the same web content that any normal user will see when visiting a webpage in anonymous mode (i.e. not logged in), from his phone. For example:
- Average review score of a product on an ecommerce website.
- The price of a London to New York flight ticket on an airline site.
- The text of an ad on a social network.
- Search results of a specific query (e.g. “best pizza in town”).
