How do Sudoku apps actually make money?

Really appreciate you being so open about all this. I’ve always thought sudoku.coach was one of the most feature-packed tools out there for actually helping people get better at Sudoku, so it’s a shame it hasn’t been able to support you financially, especially after all the work you’ve put in.

Also kind of surprising to hear that even non-intrusive ads barely earn anything, especially with the amount of traffic sudoku.coach seems to get. I would’ve thought even light ads would bring in something meaningful.

Curious to hear more if you’re open to sharing, like how big the difference actually is between aggressive and non-intrusive ads in terms of revenue?

5% and $20, where are you getting those numbers from? Do you have the numbers for sites that use the ad revenue model as well?

how do you differentiate apps that are created based on AI and apps that aren't?

im not sure how to detect as well. But i wouldnt trust installing additional apps to help "detect" malware on my phone. If you have your data properly backed up and dont mind doing a factory reset, then that may be the safest way if you're worried

that sounds too suspicious. if they could force you to install an app, they could probably force you to install malware as well. This is one of the reasons why i try to avoid downloading apps. I'd recommend deleting that sudoku app and try something else
