Using Corona, you’ll enjoy access to the same stack used by the most sophisticated development studios, without having to employ a team of engineers to maintain your platform.

Publish and monetize

With Corona, you retain all rights to your apps. We never take revenue share, but we will make it as easy as possible to publish on all the top app stores.

Corona gives you all the options to monetize your apps – choose from leading ad networks and mediation layers or monetize using in-app purchases.
