Hybrid ROAS is Live: Combine IAA and IAP to Get Results

By James Haslam·Mar 28, 2025·2 min read

Mintegral has launched Hybrid ROAS, an optimization model that integrates in-app advertising (IAA) and in-app purchases (IAP) to help developers maximize revenue. Powered by AI, Mintegral Smart Bidding dynamically adjusts bids based on each user's potential value from both monetization strategies. When activated, the algorithm targets high-intent users for ad views and purchases simultaneously, optimizing ad performance and budget efficiency.

Developers can choose Day 0 (within 24 hours) or Day 7 (within 7 days) ROAS targets, and the system uses an optimized Cost Per Install (oCPI) model to achieve goals. To start, developers must configure data postback for IAA, IAP, and install events, and meet event accumulation and IAP revenue ratio requirements. Recommended practice: set initial ROAS based on current product results, then gradually increase targets.

The algorithm requires a learning period: Day 0 campaigns stabilize in 5-7 days, Day 7 in 15-20 days. For stability, limit ROAS adjustments to twice per week with ≤10% changes. Testimonial from ONESOFT, maker of Goods Puzzle, reports solid results with Hybrid ROAS, noting flexibility in optimizing ad spend while maintaining steady performance.

The model helps maximize ad efficiency, scale user acquisition, and improve ROI by balancing ad-engaged and purchase-ready users.
