Not sure where to start with your advertising business? Already selling ad inventory but stuck because the operational system to back it up isn't in place?
Keep an eye on the 2025 Data Voucher Program run by the Korea Data Agency. Through the Data Voucher Program, you can receive 75% off A.drop's usage fees — and we'll guide you through the application process.
1. What is the Data Voucher Program?
It's a government initiative that provides vouchers to small and medium-sized businesses that have difficulty leveraging data, so they can use data solutions without bearing the full cost.
Adrop has joined the 2025 Data Voucher Program as a supplier company, which means developers and advertisers can now access our solutions — designed to help them use data more efficiently and maximize revenue — free of charge. (*SMBs that don't qualify as a youth-founded company contribute roughly KRW 500,000.)
2. Where can the voucher be used?
AdControl is a SaaS-style ad business platform with usage-based billing. Up to 10,000 impressions per month are free, and beyond that the fee is KRW 280 per 1,000 impressions.
If selected as a Data Voucher recipient, you can prepay credits that cover AdControl usage fees. These credits can also be cross-applied to AdNote — our in-app first-party data-based marketing solution.
3. Adopt AdControl for free and experience the equivalent of KRW 500M in value
Building your own ad business platform takes a minimum of one year and at least KRW 500 million in development costs — not to mention ongoing maintenance to keep up with advertisers' evolving needs. AdControl, by contrast, is a cost-effective solution you can launch for free in under a minute. And as an exclusive benefit for AdControl adopters, our dedicated ad business specialists provide end-to-end consulting — from ad product design to sales enablement.
4. From application to onboarding, we're with you every step
Applying for the Data Voucher involves three steps:
- Sign up at the Data Voucher Project Management System
- Submit your application and get selected as a recipient company
- Submit a quote prepared together with the Adrop team, then sign the final agreement
Step 2 — preparing the business plan — is usually what trips applicants up. It's not particularly complex or difficult, but for founders new to government programs (or simply too busy to navigate the paperwork), the Adrop team will walk you through how to write the application.
