History
Appcharge was founded in 2022 by Maor Sason and Roei Barassi. Sason previously sold the mobile gaming ad company Appush to Israeli software pioneer Magic Software Enterprise.[1]
Appcharge's expansion in 2024 was supported by Creandum, Play Ventures, Bitkraft, Supercell, Glilot Capital Partners, and other companies.[2][3][4][5]
In August 2025, Appcharge, which by then was employing over 100 people, raised $58 million in a Series B funding round led by IVP, with participation from Playrix, Smilegate Ventures, and all previous investors. This brought the total amount of Appcharge's historical financial backing to $89 million.[6]

Overview
Appcharge develops software and infrastructure that allow mobile game publishers to operate direct-to-consumer (DTC) commerce outside traditional app-store billing systems. The platform includes tools for web-based storefronts and alternative billing for in-app purchase flows that bypass default payment providers.[7][8]
Following U.S. court rulings in May 2025 requiring Apple to permit external billing,[9] developers gained the ability to use third-party payments for iOS in-app transactions. After Google expanded support for third-party billing and external payment flows on Android, Appcharge introduced Android Payment Links, which mirrors this functionality for Android developers.[10] The company's checkout SDK is also used by Android games distributed through sideloading or alternative app stores.
