In the interest of full transparency, here is how APK HOOD earns money and how that relates to what you see in the directory.
Some of the programs listed on APK HOOD include our own referral or affiliate links. If you sign up for, or take an action on, one of these programs through our link, APK HOOD may earn a commission or referral bonus — at no extra cost to you. The price you pay or terms you receive from the third-party program are not affected by whether you use our link.
Each listing card discloses when it uses a tracked referral link, and the same disclosure appears in the modal "Details" view for that listing. If a card does not indicate a referral relationship, treat the link as a plain informational link with no commission attached.
A program's Trust Score, category, and "Needs Verification" status are determined independently of any affiliate relationship. We do not accept payment in exchange for a higher Trust Score, and an affiliate partnership does not exempt a listing from being flagged if it becomes outdated or unreliable.
Look for the referral disclosure text on the listing card or inside its details view. You can also refer to our general site-wide notice, repeated in the footer of every page: some listings include our own referral links, disclosed as such.
Affiliate commissions help cover the cost of researching, verifying, and maintaining this directory so that it can remain free to browse for everyone. Our goal is for that funding model to stay compatible with giving you honest, accurate listings — if you ever feel a listing looks like it's prioritising a commission over accuracy, please tell us.
