Thumbplay is an American company which supplies content for cellular telephones, including ringtones, wallpapers, videos, games and SMS subscription services. It was founded by Are Traasdahl and Evan Schwartz.

Thumbplay Inc., is backed by Bain Capital Ventures, SoftBank Capital, i-Hatch Ventures, Redwood Partners, New Enterprise Associates and Meritech.

Thumbplay has been the target of numerous complaints that it does not immediately honour stop requests but instead continues to bill customers monthly fees after they request a cancellation, even if the customer does not continue to request any ringtones or wallpapers.[1]

Thumbplay was the recipient of two Webby Awards[2] in 2007 in the Mobile Marketing and Services category.
