Chartboost is an in-app programmatic advertising and monetization platform. Chartboost SDK enables developers to monetize on their mobile apps and connect advertisers to global in-app inventory. Chartboost's platform allows video game developers to create customized interstitial and video ads to promote new games. Developers have direct access to game data derived from Chartboost-enabled games. As of 2016, Chartboost had been integrated into more than 300,000 games with 40 billion game sessions per month.

In 2019, Chartboost ranked on a return on investment index, scoring 6th position on Android and 14th on iOS, behind mobile ad networks run by Google, Facebook, Unity Technologies, Aarki and Vungle.

In May 2021, Zynga acquired Chartboost for $250 million.

In December 2024, Zynga sold Chartboost to LoopMe, an AI-powered adtech company. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
