This growth comes after six consecutive quarters of declines, and Zedge+ revenue increased by nearly 10% from the previous year.
Emojipedia, a part of Zedge, also saw substantial growth, with revenue up by an impressive 62% year-over-year. The combination of Zedge Marketplace and Emojipedia contributed to double-digit ad revenue growth, resulting in a record ARPMAU with a 17% year-over-year increase.
