Issuu vs Wattpad in our news:
2014. Wattpad will be free forever and make money from native ads
**Wattpad**, the social reading app that allows authors to share their stories with a community of readers, is experiencing notable user engagement — the company reports that 27 million of its 30 million users are active each month. However, Wattpad has done little to monetize this activity beyond trying out crowdfunded self-publishing. That’s changing now. The company has introduced its first native advertising campaign and is preparing more. Similar to ads on Twitter and other social platforms, Wattpad has integrated promotions for accounts and individual titles with its regular recommendations. The company is still in the “very early stages of ad experiments,” but CEO Allen Lau has already stated that Wattpad will never charge for the app itself: “It will remain a free app forever.”
