Every install is verified for 48 hours.
Opened once and deleted? You pay nothing. Automatically.
That's what Google charges you per install.
Every dollar leaves. None comes back.
The rules we play by.
The rules they break.
The last companies who tried this got flagged as malware and died. Here's why we're still here:
You set your CPI. We take 30%. No auctions. No "enterprise pricing." No surprise.
You pay $1.50 per install? We keep $0.45. The publisher gets $1.05. The user gets a great app. Nobody got squeezed. That's the whole model.
In 2013, ironSource looked like the future. Cross-promote desktop apps, share users, everyone wins. Except they got greedy. Pre-checked boxes. Silent installs. Malware disguised as "partner offers." By 2015, their SDK was flagged by antivirus engines worldwide. Millions of users got toolbars they never wanted, search hijackers they never asked for, and a burning hatred for any software that dared suggest "recommended apps."
They didn't just kill their own product. They poisoned the entire category.
AdDuplex tried to be the clean alternative for Microsoft Store apps. Decent concept, tiny market. They shut down in 2023. Quietly. No fanfare. Just another tombstone in the desktop distribution graveyard.
"The desktop distribution space wasn't disrupted. It was destroyed by the very people who built it."
You build a great desktop app. You pour your soul into it. And then you need users. So you go to Google Ads. $5 per install. Meta? $4.50. And it only goes up. Every quarter, the auction gets more expensive. Every year, the floor rises. GHAN is different: flat pricing, no auctions, no bidding wars.
Mobile developers have Unity Ads, AppLovin, Chartboost, AdMob — an entire ecosystem of cross-promotion networks that lets them acquire users for a fraction of the cost. They have alternatives. You have nothing.
52% of Mac software revenue happens outside the App Store. The stores take 30% and give zero distribution help. You're paying the tax without getting the benefit.
Your budget's on fire, your growth is dire — you deserve better than this wire.
We're not ex-adtech bros chasing growth metrics. We're developers who got screwed by the same system you're stuck in. We know what it feels like to watch your CAC eat your runway. We know the rage of seeing a competitor with worse software outgrow you because they can afford the ads.
GHAN was born from that rage. But rage alone doesn't build trust. So we went the other way entirely:
Every app that enters the GHAN marketplace gets the same treatment: binary scan across 70+ antivirus engines, code signing verification, isolated sandbox testing, and a human security review. No exceptions. No fast-track for big spenders. No "trusted partner" bypasses.
"If your app can't pass our 7-layer pipeline, it doesn't belong next to anyone else's users. Period."
Imagine this: you acquire a user for $5 on Google Ads. During their install flow, they see a transparent panel of 3 verified, complementary apps — not competitors, not junk, not adware. Hand-picked matches. The user clicks "Get" on one of them. You just earned $1.50 in cross-promotion revenue. Your effective CAC dropped to $3.50. If two apps get installed? $2.00.
Now flip it. Your app is in someone else's install flow. Users are discovering you — for free. You're getting installs at $0 acquisition cost. The other developer already paid for the user. You just showed up at the right time, in the right context, fully verified.
That's not a marketing hack. That's a distribution layer. And now you have one.
Less cost, more gain — GHAN rewrites the game.
Our team has 20+ years in ad-tech, programmatic distribution, and desktop software. We've seen every model — the ones that worked, and the ones that burned. We built GHAN from the ashes with one rule: trust is the product, distribution is the feature.
You've built something great. You know your app deserves more users.
You're tired of watching your ad budget disappear into Google's pockets.
You want growth — but not at the cost of your users' trust.
You know there has to be a better way. Now there is.
Your app, your call — GHAN gives you all.
5 minutes to set up. Every app scanned.
Less spend, more trend — let growth ascend.
Run campaigns to get installs at a fraction of Google/Meta costs.
Earn money from users you already have by showing verified apps.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Developer," "you") and Albert D Matalon LLC ("GHAN," "we," "us"), governing your use of the GHAN cross-promotion platform ("Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal authority to bind the entity you represent. You must provide accurate and complete registration information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
GHAN provides a marketplace where desktop software developers can cross-promote their applications to users of complementary software. The Service includes: campaign creation and management tools; app submission and security review pipeline; analytics and reporting dashboard; payment processing for earned commissions.
All applications submitted to GHAN must pass our 7-layer security verification pipeline before being listed in the marketplace. This includes automated binary scanning, code signing verification, sandbox testing, and human review. We reserve the sole right to approve, reject, or remove any application at any time. Rejection does not entitle you to any compensation.
You represent and warrant that: your application does not contain malware, spyware, adware, or any malicious code; your application complies with all applicable laws; you hold all necessary rights and licenses to distribute your application; and your application does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights.
Advertisers set a fixed cost-per-install (CPI) rate and daily budget. There is no auction or bidding — you choose your price. You are charged only for verified installs where the end user has explicitly opted in. GHAN charges a flat 30% platform fee deducted from each CPI transaction. Payments are processed monthly for balances exceeding $50. We reserve the right to withhold payments pending fraud investigation.
All cross-promoted installs must be fully opt-in. You must not use pre-checked boxes, dark patterns, deceptive UI, or any mechanism that bypasses explicit user consent. Violation of this policy will result in immediate account termination and forfeiture of all pending payments.
You may not: submit applications containing malware or unwanted software; manipulate install counts through bots, click farms, or artificial means; reverse engineer, decompile, or interfere with the Service; use the Service to distribute illegal content; misrepresent your application's functionality or purpose; or create multiple accounts to circumvent platform limits.
GHAN maintains a $100,000 Malware Bond. If any application distributed through our platform is found to contain malware that bypassed our security pipeline, affected partners may claim compensation from this bond. Total claims are limited to the bond amount. This bond does not constitute insurance or a guarantee against all possible security incidents.
You retain all rights to your applications. By submitting an app, you grant GHAN a non-exclusive, worldwide license to display your app name, icon, and description within the marketplace and promotional materials. GHAN retains all rights to its platform, technology, and brand.
Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. Upon termination: active campaigns will be paused immediately; pending payments for verified installs will be processed within 30 days; your apps will be removed from the marketplace; and account data will be retained per our Privacy Policy retention schedule.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, GHAN's total liability shall not exceed the greater of (a) amounts paid to you in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) $1,000. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration under ICC rules, with proceedings conducted in English.
We may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email at least 30 days in advance. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
