Bye Bye Bundling
- Our tiny plug-in eliminates bundling and bloat. When a user accepts your recommendation, our download manager launches after your installer finishes and then retrieves the recommended software’s installer.
Easy Integration- Integrate our plugin into your installer in under an hour! We provide full instructions, sample integrations for your installer platform and a validation tool.
Real Money- More than beer money! You can generate significant revenue by participating in the OpenCandy network. Best of all, you don’t have to sell your soul (or your user’s) to do so.
Choice- You choose the software you want to recommend. You can do it for free, to earn money or a combination of the two. Plus, you can change recommendations at any time without rebuilding your installer.
Control- Don’t hand distribution of your software over to a third party. We plug into your existing installer so there’s no need for funky, proprietary installers or “pre-downloaders’ controlled by third parties.
Analytics- Learn more about your software. We provide anonymous statistics so you can learn more about your software’s installs and see how your recommendations are performing.
Happy Users- Great advertisers, clearly labeled opt-in recommendations, and respect for users’ privacy makes OpenCandy the right way to monetize your software’s distribution.
