Catappult is an online distribution facilitator for mobile applications that run on the Android operating system.[1] In Catappult, developers make their apps available for multiple Catappult partner app stores to get and distribute the app on their platforms. The software package is published by Aptoide S.A., a for-profit company incorporated in 2011, and headquartered in Lisbon, Portugal.

Description


Catappult allows developers to have their apps available to Catappult partners for distribution. Catappult is available in 4 languages. As of 2023, Catappult’s partners include Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, APK Pure, 9apps and more.

After creating an account on Catappult, developers can submit their apps to their account. Besides distributing their apps, they can also track their app’s statistics and request for withdrawals directly on their console. When an app is added with its Google Play URL, the app’s metadata is automatically fetched from Google Play.

Apps must be submitted directly on Catappult’s Developer Console and reviewed before being available for distribution on the platform. After having their app distributed, it is possible to monitor downloads and revenue across the different app stores and withdraw funds generated from in-app purchases.

Catappult requires developers to use their billing solution. Catappult’s billing system is based on AppCoins, an attempt to "enter the digital currency business with the plainly named AppCoins. Launched in conjunction with the 2017 Web Summit edition, the $18 million Initial Coin Offering (ICO) will allow users to use AppCoins to pay each other or for in-app purchases, such as game upgrades.".

In 2023, Catappult announced they would also be a distribution center for car apps. With this, developers can design and tune their apps for cars and car manufacturers can customise their app stores.

Also in 2023, Catappult announced they were prepared to distribute apps on iOS as soon as Apple allowed it to. The advantage would be the bugger revenue share, which can go up to 85% when distributing on Catappult.
