Manages user information and permissions. Set up security measures to prevent user data leaks, which is a basic trust issue.
Calculates costs and provides data statistics. Without this, you can't figure out costs and profits, let alone optimize.
In fact, there are mature solutions on the market, like Getfollow, which have integrated these modules.
For cross-border enterprises and individual studios without sufficient tech teams or resources, such platforms may be more convenient.
Whether you build it yourself or choose a platform, understanding these 4 core modules is key to making the right decision.
