Mochi Media is the world's largest browser-based games network, with more than 140 million monthly active users and 15,000 games on nearly 40,000 publisher websites. Mochi Media's game development products and services enable developers to track usage analytics, distribute their games to thousands of websites, and monetize global gameplays via micro-transactions and in-game advertising. The company is headquartered in downtown San Francisco and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shanda Games Limited (NASDAQ: GAME).

MochiAds

MochiAds is an advertisement application targeting specifically towards monetizing web browser games using the Flash Player platform.

Advertisements are primarily added as "pre-game" to games where an advertisement is shown during loading time (which is sometimes extended to allow for the entire ad to play), as well as "inter-level" ads which can be shown at any time. Advertisements can also appear on Mochi Media's leader board tool.

MochiCoins

In 2009, Mochi Media released a new system to access paid content in browser games called MochiCoins. The platform allows developers to put additional content in their games, or features in the game, for example to respawn, which users can pay for with the MochiCoins in their account.^[1][2] These coins are in turn paid for through Mochi Media's website using credit cards, PayPal or SuperRewards.^[1] You can choose to buy 4000 coins, 8000 coins, 16000 coins, or 40000 (with 8,000 to 40000 options coming with extra coins).There are no in-game ways to earn coins however, signing up may unlock certain aspects of the current game, which would not be usable to unregistered guests.

MochiSocial

MochiSocial is a freely available API for developers to help incentivize gameplay through social interactions across four different social platforms (so not specific to any one platform). These interactions include posting to stream, sending gifts, inviting friends, and posting achievements. Developers also get access to data from the social interactions within their games.
