Fred Dewey, CEO Kachingle is a "Turbocharged App Monetization Platform".Â App vendors today need an ongoing source of revenue because for most app and service providers, advertising, download fees and the Freemium model are just not producing enough revenue on which to build a profitable/sustainable business model. And with the explosion in the number of apps, app discoverability has become a big problem. Kachingle is meeting this critical need by providing bundle marketing for pc/web & mobile apps, giving users a compelling reason to start paying, and app vendors a 2x-5x revenue uplift. One of our early partners Avira (Freemium anti-virus/security) is bringing their 105 million users to the table. With Kachingle, app vendors and users can build their own bundles, allowing users to maximize value and app vendors to maximize ongoing revenue.Â http://www.KachinglePremium.com // @Kachingle
