AppsFlyerMobile Measurement Set the Standard. Web Is Finally Catching Up.
Mobile performance marketing succeeded by building a signal infrastructure—independent attribution, fraud protection, and structured postbacks—that fed optimization-grade data to ad platforms. Web measurement has lagged, relying on fragmented, platform-reported metrics. As AI-driven campaign optimization becomes standard, bad signals amplify errors. AppsFlyer’s Web Performance Measurement brings mobile-grade signals to web: independent attribution, server-to-server postbacks, cross-platform closed loops, and unified cost/revenue measurement. For ad ops decision-makers, this means one truth source, actionable optimization signals across networks, and complete omnichannel ROAS visibility—enabling AI to compound advantage, not error.
AppsFlyerIndependent Data Collaboration Platforms Are Gone — Except One
Data collaboration platforms are consolidating under ad-centric owners, threatening measurement neutrality. Publicis bought LiveRamp, WPP acquired InfoSum, and LiveRamp absorbed Habu, leaving AppsFlyer as the only major independent player. Brands must vet partners for conflicts: does the platform or its parent benefit from ad spend? Without independence, budget allocation and ROAS calculations may reflect agency incentives over actual performance. Key questions: revenue from ads, cross-channel attribution consistency, data governance, and auditable methodology.
AppsFlyerWhat eCommerce brands get wrong about retail media measurement
Retail media networks report ROAS using different methodologies, causing up to 63% fluctuation across networks for the same campaign. This isn't a data quality issue but a structural one. Brands using multiple networks face a fragmentation tax where each network is its own source of truth, and budget decisions based on these irreconcilable figures are misleading. Independent measurement, applying the same attribution logic across all networks, is needed to reconcile data and enable confident cross-channel decisions. The signal infrastructure for this already exists from mobile measurement.
AppsFlyerStrong open rates, weak app revenue: your email campaign isn’t broken. Your links are.
Email, SMS, and push are high-intent channels, but a structural gap between click and in-app action causes massive drop-off. CTRs of 30-40% often yield only 1-3% in-app conversion. The root cause is ESP link wrapping, which breaks deep link context and attribution. Fixing the handoff through proper deep linking can double purchase rates and unlock channel performance. Brands must treat the link as a continuation layer, not a redirect, and ensure context survives the transition.
AppsFlyerThe Signal Economy Goes Live: Takeaways from MAU Vegas 2026
At MAU 2026, the industry agreed that attention, not production, is the bottleneck. Cross-platform web-to-app attribution is now achievable with AppsFlyer's mobile-grade measurement extending to web, giving ad ops a unified view. AI is in production, with Square's team shipping six live workflows. Web-to-app is the most efficient top-of-funnel for app businesses, and retention overtakes acquisition. Ad ops must prioritize clean signal layers and incrementality testing over single-metric attribution.

AdjustWWDC26: Siri AI, Foundation models, updates for mobile marketers | Adjust
WWDC26 focused on AI, with minimal changes to iOS attribution. Apple introduced Foundation Models, Core AI, and App Intents updates, but no significant AdAttributionKit or SKAN updates. For ad ops, this means continuity in measurement strategies. Key AI announcements include Siri AI, Xcode 27 agentic coding, and cross-developer subscription bundles. The lack of attribution changes provides stability for teams optimizing existing iOS measurement approaches.
