Unified licensing model

The unified licensing model combines all types of monetization: internal advertising (YAN), third-party advertising, and in-app purchases. Key benefits:

• All in one place: no need to sign separate agreements with YAN and switch between interfaces — everything works under a single agreement, and all documents, payment details, and payment information are available in the Console.
• Single payment: you receive payments for advertising and in-app purchases in one payment.
• Less hassle: we place ads and pay the 3% fee ourselves, in-app purchases are enabled without contacting support.

Check if enabled

1. Open the Developer Console.

2. Go to the Account section.

3. Check the value of the Unified licensing model field:

   • Connected — all benefits are available. Documents and payment details are in the Console.
   • Not connected — keep an eye on your email to not miss the notification. Yandex Games is gradually transitioning partners to the unified licensing agreement.

Forms of cooperation

Income conditions depend on the form of cooperation:

• Individual — Yandex acts as a tax agent and withholds personal income tax.
• Legal entity, individual entrepreneur — the partner pays taxes and fees independently.

Documents

In the Developer Console in the Account → Documents section, contract documents are available:

• Agreement — contract data with Yandex Games.
• Financial documents — Acts of work completion and other financial documents.

If your income reaches the payment threshold in the current month, at the beginning of the next month we will send you an Act of work completion by email and post it in the Financial documents section.

If you find errors in the Act, report them in your reply within 10 business days from the date the Act was issued. If we do not receive an email describing the errors within the specified period, the remuneration amount in the document will be considered agreed upon.

If income does not reach the threshold in the current month, no Act is generated.

Payment details

In the Developer Console in the Account → Requisites section, the payment details to which remuneration will be sent are displayed.

To change the payment details for remuneration, write to the support chat.

Payments

Remuneration payment conditions are specified in the Licensing Agreement:

• Frequency: no more than once a month.
• Minimum amount: 150 US dollars or 100 euros depending on the contract currency.

If the threshold in the current month is:

• Reached — you will receive remuneration within 20 business days of the next month.
• Not reached — income for this month is added to the income of subsequent months until it reaches the threshold.

Statistics

Monetization statistics are collected in the Developer Console:

• Total income of the account from all sources across all games. You can download a report that includes a breakdown by monetization types: advertising shown by Yandex and in-app purchases.
