What It Is

ShareApps is a mobile app and website promotion platform operated by Mycoremobile Nigeria Limited. Its core concept is “peer-to-peer referral advertising”: after integrating a plugin/SDK into an app or web app, users are prompted to select contacts from their phone contacts and email address book, then send pre-written SMS and email invitations. It is closer to referral growth and invite-marketing infrastructure than a traditional SEO tool or ad-buying platform.

Core Features and Integration

According to the site, ShareApps supports campaign optimization around specific goals, with customization based on demographics, user preferences, and particular devices. It also provides a messaging dashboard for customizing SMS and email content. Its technical integration options are relatively comprehensive: client-side SDKs include Android, iOS, and Web/JavaScript, while the page also mentions Windows and BB10; server-side SDKs cover Java, .NET, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Ruby. Developers can create an account, log in to the dashboard, create new apps, and manage multiple apps under a single account.

Data Sources, Pricing, and Support

For data sources, ShareApps says it works with various telecom network solution providers and email service providers, but it does not disclose supported countries, carrier coverage, delivery success rates, user volume, or conversion benchmarks. Pricing is fairly clear: SMS invitations cost USD 0.015 each, email invitations cost USD 0.001 each, and there is a fixed monthly fee of USD 1. It also states that a promotion budget can start from USD 10. Support channels mentioned include [email protected], [email protected], phone contact, and a Nigeria address, but there is no visible SLA or live chat information.

Pros and Cons

The main advantages are its low barrier to entry and straightforward pay-as-you-go pricing, making it suitable for mobile apps with limited user acquisition budgets. Its SDK/API coverage is also broad enough to embed into existing product flows. The drawbacks are also clear: the public information appears dated, with BB10 still mentioned, raising questions about product activity; performance data and coverage scale are missing; the terms of service contain extensive disclaimers, the refund policy is strict, and handling payment issues may take 14 days or longer.

Who It’s For and Access from China

ShareApps is best suited to app teams, growth marketing teams, and website operators with development resources who want to use existing user relationships for SMS/email invitations. It is less suitable for teams that need mature attribution, deep ad network integration, SEO analytics, or localized operational support. The site does not state whether it is accessible from China, and payment methods are not disclosed. For SMS-based invitations, teams targeting mainland China should also separately assess SMS compliance, authorization for importing phone numbers, and personal information protection requirements. Alternatives include Branch, AppsFlyer, Adjust, Firebase Dynamic Links, as well as Chinese platforms such as 友盟+ and GrowingIO.
