Stacks with everything
Runs quietly alongside ads, in-app purchases and subscriptions. It doesn't compete for impressions or cannibalize existing revenue — it's additive by design.
SDK monetization · consent-first
Revenue from the resource
your users already own.
Orion Data Services turns idle, unused bandwidth into a dependable revenue stream for app developers — through a lightweight SDK that is 100% opt-in, collects zero personal data, and adds no ads to your product.

How it works
Three steps between you
and a new line on your P&L.
-
01
Integrate
Drop the Orion SDK into your app. It's a small footprint library with native and cross-platform bindings — most teams ship it in a day, alongside whatever monetization you already run.
-
02
Ask
Your users see a clear, plain-language consent screen: share a slice of unused bandwidth in exchange for value you define — premium features, an ad-free tier, in-app currency. They can say no. They can leave anytime.
-
03
Earn
You're paid for opted-in daily active devices, on a predictable monthly cycle — with a live dashboard showing exactly what your network of users is generating.
For developers
Monetization that doesn't
cost you your users.
Every monetization method asks something of your users — attention, money, patience. Orion asks for something they aren't using anyway.
Invisible to UX
No banners, no interstitials, no rewarded-video interruptions. After consent, the SDK works in the background with strict limits on bandwidth, battery and CPU.
Feather-light footprint
A compact library engineered to be a good citizen inside your app: pausing on metered connections, backing off on low battery, and never touching user content.
Predictable payouts
Earnings scale with opted-in daily active devices, not volatile ad markets. Monthly statements, transparent rates agreed up front, no surprises.
Compliance-minded
Built for GDPR and CCPA expectations from the first line of code: explicit consent, a one-tap opt-out, and an SDK that has nothing to leak because it collects nothing personal.
Every platform you ship
Native SDKs for Android, iOS, Windows and macOS, plus first-class support for CTV, Unity and Flutter — one partner across your whole portfolio.
The network
Ethically sourced network intelligence for business.
On the other side of Orion sits a network of real, consenting devices — the infrastructure businesses need to see the internet the way their customers do.
- Price & market intelligence — see real retail prices, in real regions, without distortion.
- Ad verification — confirm campaigns render where and how they were sold.
- Brand protection — find counterfeit listings and misuse across markets.
- Research & QA — test localized experiences from genuine residential vantage points.
Every client is vetted, every use case reviewed against our acceptable-use policy, and every request routed only through devices that opted in.
Ask about network access→Ethics & trust
This model only works
if it's done honestly.
Bandwidth sharing has a trust problem — and it earned it. We think the answer is radical clarity about what happens on a user's device. These are the rules Orion is built on:
I
Consent is explicit, or it doesn't count
No pre-ticked boxes, no burying it in the EULA. Users see what they're joining in plain language before a single byte moves.
II
Leaving is one tap away
Opt-out is always visible, immediate, and final. A user who leaves stops routing traffic instantly.
III
The SDK is blind to the person
It never reads messages, files, browsing history or identity. It shares spare network capacity — nothing else.
IV
The device comes first
Hard caps on bandwidth, deference to metered connections and low batteries. If it would degrade the user's experience, it doesn't run.
V
Clients are vetted, uses are named
Network access requires a declared, legitimate use case and a signed acceptable-use agreement. Abuse means removal.
VI
Regulation is a floor, not a ceiling
We design to GDPR and CCPA expectations everywhere, not only where the law requires it.
FAQ
Fair questions,
straight answers.
Will the SDK slow my app down or drain batteries?
No. The SDK only uses bandwidth that's genuinely idle, within strict caps, and it stands down automatically on low battery, metered connections or constrained devices. Your app's performance budget is untouched.
What exactly do my users see?
A single, clearly-worded consent screen that you can theme to match your app. You decide what users get in return — premium access, an ad-free experience, in-app rewards. Users who decline simply continue using your app as before.
What data does Orion collect from users?
The SDK collects no personal data: no identity, no browsing history, no message or file contents, no cookies. It relays encrypted traffic for vetted business clients using spare network capacity — the device is a route, never a source of data about its owner.
How and when do I get paid?
Earnings accrue based on your opted-in daily active devices at rates agreed in your insertion order, with monthly statements and payouts. Your dashboard shows accrual in near-real time, so the invoice is never a surprise.
Does this comply with app store policies?
The SDK is built around explicit user consent and platform background-execution rules, and we work with each partner on store-review readiness for their specific app and category. Talk to us about your target stores and we'll walk you through it.
Who uses the network, and for what?
Vetted businesses running legitimate workloads: price and market intelligence, ad verification, brand protection and research. Every client signs our acceptable-use policy, and prohibited uses — fraud, unlawful access, anything targeting individuals — mean immediate removal from the network.
