Credit Karma ads model: helpful matching beats banner spam

Life360's aspirational ad model is Credit Karma: match driving-score data to insurance offers, or surface an Uber tap-to-book when the app detects a user just landed at an airport. Their internal bill of rights forbids any ad that interrupts the job-to-be-done. Ads that add genuine contextual value convert better than banner spam and preserve trust with the 87.5% of Life360's user base who are permanently on free.
