Free-to-play: Our Business Model

Our business model is based on the free-to-play principle: All games created by InnoGames are free

Players have the option to purchase premium features: The cost of those is small, a feature is available for a few cents

Purchasing a premium account is never connected to any kind of commitment nor does it ever have to be cancelled

Premium accounts can either make the game play more comfortable or they can give in-game advantages: Via comfort advantages, players can view a larger part of a map, for example. With in-game advantages, the player finds more gold during his work, for example

Another financing aspect is online advertising: Banner ads are displayed next to the game, for example in Tribal Wars

We always take care to keep a good balance and make sure that our games remain fair for all players
