Ads & the Wallet

Last updated: September 8, 2026

AvenAI is free to use because it is ad-funded. This page explains, in plain language, how ads appear in the App and how your virtual wallet works — including the limits that protect you.

The wallet, in one paragraph

Every AI message costs a small amount of balance, shown to you before you send it (the model picker displays each model's per-message price). You start with a free starter balance. When it runs low, you can top it up — free — by watching a short rewarded ad, or by redeeming a promo code we give away. Balance is not money: it is a measure of App usage, as described in our Terms.

Rewarded ads — always your choice

• Rewarded video ads appear only where you tap Earn. We never auto-play them.
• You see the reward (and your daily remaining limit) before you start watching.
• Closing an ad early forfeits that reward — no partial credit, no surprises.
• A daily earn limit applies (shown live in the wallet). It resets at midnight UTC and keeps the economy fair without banning heavy users.

Other ads you may see

• Interstitial ads may appear when you back out of a conversation to the home screen — a natural stopping point. They are capped per day, never appear mid-conversation, on app launch, or during streaming.
• Native ads appear in Settings and the wallet screen as clearly labeled "Sponsored" cards, styled to fit but always identified as ads.

Who serves the ads

Ads are served by Google AdMob. Depending on your consent choices, Google and its partners may use the device advertising ID and similar signals to select and measure ads. In the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, a consent form appears before ads load, letting you choose personalized or non-personalized ads — or decline personalization while still using the App. You can review Google's practices at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Ad verification (anti-fraud)

To credit your balance after a rewarded ad, we verify the view with Google's Server-Side Verification (SSV): Google's servers tell ours — signed and tamper-proof — that a real rewarded view happened. This is why nobody can fake rewards, and why your earned balance is trustworthy.

Spending transparency

• Per-message costs are listed on every model, visible before you pick.
• Your wallet shows a full in-app history: every earn, every spend, with timestamps.
• Lifetime earned and spent totals are always visible.
