The MWC 2018 edition of the AppsFlyer Performance Index is hot off the presses, and we’re happy to share that Taptica made the cut again this year, ranking as a top 10 media source across categories, operating systems, and geos!

For Edition VI of the Index (covering H2 2017), AppsFlyer evaluated 250 different media networks and 6,000 apps, with 6.5 billion installs and 15 billion app opens combined.

How did they evaluate all this data? Edition VI has been the most comprehensive version of the Index to date, with newly added methodologies and insights to encompass:

• ROI Index: Explores media sources that deliver on your bottom line
• Long-Term Retention: Downstream retention at the 12-week mark
• Volume: Pure assessment of attributed installs and client adoption by platform and region
• Power Rankings: Unique performance indicator combining retention, volume, and average sessions per user
• Advanced Fraud Signals: Penalizes players on fraud rate, including install fraud, click flooding, and install/click hijacking

All these factors come together in the AppsFlyer Performance Index to create a rigorous and comprehensive guide that recognizes today’s strongest, most trusted mobile partners.
