Ad monetization

Pull ad revenue from every mediation and monetization partner, tie it to user acquisition campaigns at the user and cohort level, and get the only ROAS calculation that reflects how ad-monetized apps actually make money.

Trusted to deliver the most extensive data, for optimized campaign performance

THE SINGULAR PROMISE

For ad-monetized apps, ad revenue isn’t a side metric. It’s the ROAS

Most performance marketers measure ROAS using in-app purchases. For free-to-play games and ad-monetized apps, that misses the largest revenue stream. We pull aggregate ad revenue from every mediation partner and user-level ad revenue from impression-level data, tie it to the campaign that acquired each user, and produce the only ROAS calculation that reflects total revenue, not just IAP.

Ad monetization FAQ

Ad monetization analytics measures the performance of in-app advertising as a revenue stream for app publishers. Metrics include eCPM (effective cost per mille), ARPDAU (average revenue per daily active user), DAU, fill rate, ad request and response rates, and aggregate ad revenue, broken down by app, platform, country, ad type, placement, and mediation partner. Singular’s ad monetization analytics pulls this data automatically from every mediation and monetization partner, normalizes it into a single schema, and surfaces it alongside user acquisition cost data and attribution for full revenue-and-cost reporting in one platform.

Ad monetization analytics aggregates ad revenue across networks for publisher-side reporting, answering questions like “how much did each mediation partner earn for me last month?” or “what’s my fill rate on rewarded video in Brazil?”. Ad revenue attribution adds user-level ad revenue to user acquisition cohorts, answering questions like “what’s the true ROAS of my Meta campaign once I include the ad revenue those users generate?”. Most ad-monetized apps need both: monetization analytics to optimize the monetization side, ad revenue attribution to optimize the user acquisition side.

For ad-monetized apps, ad revenue is often the largest revenue stream, frequently larger than in-app purchases. ROAS calculations that only count IAP revenue dramatically understate the actual return on user acquisition spend, leading to under-investment in profitable channels and under-targeted user types. Including ad revenue in ROAS produces a True ROAS metric that reflects total user value, which is the only metric ad-monetized apps should be optimizing UA against. Singular’s marketing analytics platform is built to deliver this combined view by default.

Singular integrates with the major mobile ad mediation and monetization platforms, including AppLovin MAX, ironSource (LevelPlay), AdMob, Meta Audience Network, Unity LevelPlay, Chartboost, and a long tail of regional and specialty partners. New integrations get added on request. See the full list of supported integrations.

Yes. Both aggregate ad monetization data and user-level ad revenue attribution data flow through Singular’s Marketing ETL to Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, S3, GCS, SFTP, Tableau, Looker, and any major destination. Aggregate data delivers every 6 hours, user-level data delivers hourly, with separate schemas for each dataset that BI teams can query natively.

Singular supports SKAdNetwork conversion models specifically built for ad-monetized apps: an Ad Revenue model and a Combined Revenue model that includes both ad revenue and IAP. These conversion models let ad-monetized apps optimize iOS user acquisition against the revenue metric that matches how the app actually monetizes, instead of forcing apps that earn primarily from ads to optimize on IAP-only signals. SKAdNetwork ad revenue metrics surface in Singular’s SKAN reports as Estimated Ad Revenue and Estimated Combined Revenue, and through ETL. Read more on SKAdNetwork attribution.
