SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AppsFlyer, the global attribution leader, today released the 11th edition of its Performance Index. While Facebook took the #1 spot, both Google and Facebook continued to dominate mobile advertising with a significant majority of the non-organic install market. The search and social giants hold the #1 power ranking position in 79% of breakdowns, and 82% of volume rankings across all indices.

For the first time, thanks to AppsFlyer’s unrivaled scale, the Performance Index includes two new granular monetization-driven rankings per region and category. The new rankings rate media sources by their ability to deliver users with the highest likelihood to complete an in-app purchase, and their ability to deliver users who monetize best with ads — vital information for apps in a freemium-driven ecosystem in which apps make money primarily through in-app purchases and in-app ads. With the existing retention, remarketing, and growth indices, the 11th edition provides a complete report card on the mobile media landscape across multiple marketing activities.
