The mobile app UA
playbook is breaking

Your main channels are hitting their limits

In 2026, just three platforms (Meta, Google and Amazon) are projected to capture over 60% of worldwide digital ad spend.
As those channels grow more crowded, advertisers can face rising costs and shrinking returns.

Installs don't always translate into revenue

In 2025, Android led global downloads 3-to-1, yet iOS captured ~70% of consumer spending ($117B vs. Google Play's $49B). Volume and value aren't the same problem. Without optimization tuned to downstream outcomes, strong install numbers can mask weak business results.

Incomplete measurement means incomplete growth

Only 18% of marketers feel confident they can tie installs to the right source. And 71% report direct revenue impact from measurement blind spots. Without clear visibility into what's driving performance, budget decisions are based on incomplete information.
