FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you optimize for installs or for retained players?
Retained, paying players — installs are the input, not the outcome. We model predicted LTV by cohort and source, then bid to payback window rather than a flat cost-per-install target, which routinely means paying more per install from channels that deliver players who stay. The uncomfortable version of this conversation is when a network your team likes turns out to be delivering cheap installs that are gone by day seven, and we recommend cutting it.
