About GetPassive

Consent-first bandwidth monetization for developers who want revenue without eroding user trust.

What we do

GetPassive helps app developers earn from users' opted-in unused bandwidth through a small SDK and a transparent revenue model. Developers add the SDK, present a clear consent screen, and only users who actively opt in can participate. Revenue is shared 80/20 in the developer's favour, with monthly payouts through Stripe Connect so approved publishers can track earnings and receive funds through a familiar payment flow. The company was founded to give independent developers a transparent alternative to opaque bounty networks, forced subscriptions, and ad-heavy monetization. We believe useful apps should be able to stay lightweight, affordable, and sustainable without hiding background behaviour from users or making payout math impossible to understand.

Our principles

Consent-first means participation is explicit, default-off, and always revocable. Users should see plain-language disclosure before anything starts, should be able to find the setting again, and should be able to stop sharing immediately. Developer-first means the commercial model is simple: a published revenue share, clear reporting, and no hidden formula that makes earnings impossible to audit. We also care about traffic integrity. Demand-side partners are reviewed, business use cases are contractually scoped, and abuse categories are not allowed. That combination matters because bandwidth monetization only works long term when users, developers, and business customers all understand the boundaries. GetPassive is designed for developers who would rather build trust than chase short-term revenue through surprise installs, dark patterns, or vague disclosure.

The team

GetPassive is built by a small independent team focused on ethical bandwidth monetization. We've shipped infrastructure used by high-volume web, API, and proxy workloads, and we bring that operational mindset to developer monetization: conservative rollout, clear controls, observability, and support-first onboarding. We are intentionally not publishing a fake employee roster or inflated advisory list. The public author entity is the GetPassive Team until a named author program is introduced.
