Planning Companion
A compact native placement below useful Home and Huddl content.
Advertising
Free planning, funded thoughtfully.
Huddl is free to use. Carefully placed ads support the product without turning planning into another obstacle for the group.
This public website has no advertising units. The diagrams explain product placement rules; the film uses clearly labeled SDK test inventory to illustrate ad formats. They are explanations of the app experience, not live advertisements or customer results.
Read the Advertising supports free planning transcript
- Huddl keeps group planning free with six placement roles and no rewarded or incentivized formats.
- Planning Companion sits below useful content. Place Discovery and Time Discovery appear alongside the options being browsed.
- Story Spotlight is clearly labeled and skippable. Success Moment follows a safely saved action; Welcome Moment uses timing, cooldowns, and daily caps.
- Privacy and visibility checks come first. The first Huddl and failed saves are ad-free; no fill or a load failure leaves planning available.
- Load, display, open, failure, and impression-revenue information supports measurement of the advertising experience. A future paid option remains a possibility rather than a currently available tier.
45-second case study
The advertising approach
Six friendly placement roles, firm experience guardrails, and one revenue view. The diagrams explain current placement roles. Labeled ad close-ups reuse Google Mobile Ads SDK test inventory from Huddl’s Android test environment; product instructions use the separately refreshed app captures.
No rewarded or incentivized formats
Six thoughtful placements
Every ad has a specific job.
02
Place Discovery
A native placement in the same browsing rhythm as place options.
03
Time Discovery
A native placement alongside the dates and times being compared.
04
Story Spotlight
A clearly labeled, skippable sponsored chapter while catching up.
05
Success Moment
An interstitial only after the planning action is safely saved.
06
Welcome Moment
An app-open placement governed by timing, cooldowns, and daily caps.
Experience guardrails
The plan always wins.
Ad opportunities are considered only after privacy and visibility checks. Core coordination never depends on watching, opening, or engaging with an ad.
Planning comes first
Ads stay out of signed-out, loading, error, keyboard, and modal states.
Natural pauses only
Failed or cancelled saves stay ad-free, and the first Huddl is exempt.
Privacy before requests
Age, consent, platform, and regional eligibility are resolved first.
Graceful fallback
No fill or an ad failure never blocks the group from continuing.
Natural pauses, not interruptions
Visibility rules, cadence, cooldowns, and no-fill handling protect the planning flow.
One measurable customer journey
RevenueCat Ads brings load, display, open, failure, and impression-revenue events into one view.
Today and next
Ad-supported today. Choice-led tomorrow.
Huddl has no paid tier today. RevenueCat provides the foundation to evaluate a future optional paid tier alongside ad revenue without gating core coordination.
