Buy No Ads in the game. You'll never see a forced ad in it again, and it restores on your other devices.
01 — The Five Dollar Deal
Three ways to pay. One result.
Every ad you watch adds credit to your meter: 5¢ each, or 10¢ if you allow ad tracking. At $5.00 the ads stop.
Coins buy boosts. Once your coin purchases add up to $5 in a game, that game goes ad-free for free.
Any one of the three turns forced ads off in that game. Forever.
02 — When ads play
Only when you finish a level. Never more than once every five minutes.

- 2Tracking is optional and it counts doublePersonalized ads earn us more, so we pass that on: 10¢ per ad instead of 5¢. Say no and you'll get the same games, just a slower meter.

How long until you're ad-free?
Ad-free after about
8.3 hours

Or skip the wait: pay $4.99 once.
03 — Coins & boosts
Boosts are extras. Hints stay free.
Undo, restart and hints cost nothing, and every level can be beaten without a boost. Boosts cost 100 coins, and one ad you choose to watch earns 100 coins. You also get 200 coins to start and 50 more every day. If you'd like more, the packs are cheap.

05 — Questions
FAQ
Is it per game or for everything?
Per game. Each game has its own $5 meter. Your lifetime tally across our games shows in Settings, so you can see what you've watched overall.
Why do ads count more with tracking on?
Personalized ads pay us more, so we credit you more: 10¢ per ad instead of 5¢. Tracking is off unless you turn it on, and you can change it any time in Settings.
Is 5¢ what an ad really earns?
Usually no. A typical ad earns us a cent or two. We round up on purpose so that $5 of ads takes hours, not days.
Can I still watch ads after going ad-free?
Only if you want to. Forced ads stop for good, but the "watch an ad for 100 coins" button stays, because you're the one choosing it.
What if I reinstall or switch phones?
A No Ads purchase restores from your App Store or Google Play account with "Restore purchases". Ad credit and coins are stored on the device, so they don't transfer.
Do I need an account?
No. There are no accounts, no logins, and no email sign-ups.
06 — Privacy policy
What we collect
Last updated September 29, 2026. This policy covers every Five Dollar Games app.
On your device only
Your progress, settings, coins, ad meter and purchase status are saved on your device. We don't run servers that receive them, and there are no accounts.
We don't use analytics
Our games contain no analytics, attribution or crash-reporting SDKs of our own.
Advertising
- Ads are served by Google AdMob in our iPhone and Android apps. Google may collect device identifiers, IP address, approximate location and ad interaction data to show and measure ads. See Google's policy at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
- By default we request non-personalized ads. We only request personalized ads if you choose "Watch ads with tracking" and, on iPhone, allow tracking in Apple's prompt. You can turn this off in Settings at any time.
- Ads stop for good in a game once you buy No Ads, reach $5.00 of ad credit, or spend $5 on coins in that game. Ads you choose to watch for coins are always optional.
Purchases
Purchases are handled by Apple or Google. We never see your payment details. RevenueCat, our purchase-validation provider, receives your purchase history and a random app user ID so it can confirm purchases and restore No Ads on your other devices. It doesn't receive your name or email address.
