Acquire users who activate and retain.
Set the activation bar. We source matching users, verify they clear it, and charge you only then.
Built by growth engineers from the adtech and AI space
The problem
You built the product. Distribution is the bottleneck.
AI made building trivial. But every acquisition channel still optimizes for clicks, not retention. Meanwhile, your ideal users are actively hunting for the best tools — and you are not where they are looking.
0%
of ad spend wasted
Traditional channels optimize for impressions and clicks — metrics that never convert to retained users.
$0+
avg. CPA on AI apps
Premium prices for users who churn in 48 hours. High CAC, zero proven LTV.
~0%
Day-7 retention
Most users never finish onboarding. You are paying for installs, not for product usage.
The solution
Other channels charge for attention. Erni charges for activation.
Every dollar is tied to a verified activation — real usage, real retention, real LTV.
