Creating a Revenue Report
The Revenue Report allows you to view the revenue generated by users who installed the app or opened a deep link during the set date range. Various metrics are available to create a customized report that will allow you to analyze your revenue data in depth.
The Revenue Report is available in [Reports]>[Revenue] on the Airbridge dashboard. Only the Owner or In-house Marketers have access to the Revenue Report.
The configuration box offers options for configuring the granularity, date range, Start Event, Revenue Event, Metric, GroupBy, and filter to create a customized report view that suits your needs.
Configuring a cohort in the Revenue Report allows you to analyze the revenue generated by a specific user segment. The cohort configuration is optional. Click Add to configure a cohort.
Read on to learn how to set up a cohort by configuring condition clauses.
You can use the following operators to add multiple condition clauses for a cohort.
Let’s say you want to define a cohort as a group of iOS users who signed up for your service in March 2024. In that case, you may configure the cohort like in the image below.
Let’s say you want to define a cohort as a group of iOS users who signed up for your service in March 2024 and also added an item to the cart at least once during the last 30 days, including today. In that case, you may configure the cohort like in the image below.
The Revenue Report displays the data in different time ranges depending on the granularity option selected in the configuration box. Each option comes with a maximum number of ranges that can be displayed in the report. Each time range is based on the Airbridge App Timezone.
The following table indicates the maximum number of ranges that can show the retention data by granularity. The number of ranges displayed in the Retention Report depends on the set date range.
Attention
Event data older than 180 days from the day of report creation will be displayed as Unattributed for Google Ads (google.adwords), Meta ads (facebook.business), and TikTok For Business (tiktok) to comply with their privacy policies.
The Revenue Report shows the revenue metric data of users who performed the Revenue Event during the set date range. Use the calendar filter to configure the date range.
Data older than 180 days from the day of report creation is available. The maximum date range configurable is 62 days, 12 weeks, or 3 months.
Refer to the following information when configuring the calendar filter.
The date range can be set using the following conditions.
When using “Last,” options such as “Include today,” “Include this month,” and “Offset” can be added.
For example, if you select Last 30 days and add Offset + 3 days, the date range will start 33 days before today and end 4 days before today.
Data available in the Revenue Report
The Revenue Report only shows App event data; Web and iOS SKAdNetwork event data are not available.
The Revenue Report shows the revenue metrics of users who performed the Start Event and the Revenue Event.
A Start Event is an event that is performed by the user who initiated the app engagement. Data of users who didn't perform the Start Event will be excluded from the reporting. Options for Start Event include Install (App), Deeplink Open (App), Deeplink Pageview (App), Sign-up (App), and Sign-in (App). Multiple Start Events can be selected. At least 1 Start Event must be selected to create a report.
For example, if Install (App) and Deeplink Open (App) are set as Start Events, the data of users who have performed an Install (App) event or Deeplink Open (App) event within the set date range will be aggregated.
The Revenue Event is the event performed by users who performed the Start Event and is closely related to the revenue generated by the user. The Revenue Event is aggregated up to 31 days (Day 30) from the day the user performed the Start Event.
Standard Events and Custom Events can be set as Revenue Events, and up to 5 events can be set as Revenue Events.
Measure revenue generated by users who performed the Order Complete event.
First Order Complete (App)
Measure revenue generated via the first order completed by the user. The Airbridge Device ID is used to determine whether the order is the first order of a user or not.
Ad Impression (App)
Measure ad revenue generated via ad impression.
Ad Click (App)
Measure ad revenue generated via ad click.
Subscribe (App)
Measure revenue generated via paid subscription.
Spend Credits (App)
Measuere revenue generated via spend credits event.
When selecting a Custom Event as the Revenue Event, the event valuesof the Custom Event can be viewed in the report.
You can select a Custom Event without an event value, but in that case, the revenue metrics, such as Revenue, ARPU, and ARPPU, will show 0.
The Revenue Events are aggregated in different ranges depending on the chosen granularity.
When choosing "Daily," "Weekly," and "Monthly," the following options are available in the Day N selector for the Revenue Events to configure the number of ranges displayed in the Revenue Report.
Daily: Max. Day 30, Max. Day 60, Max. Day 90, Max. Day 180
Weekly: Max. Week 4, Max. Week 12, Max. Week 24, Max. Week 52
Monthly: Max. Month 3, Max. Month 6, Max. Month 12, Max. Month 36
Attribution process in the Revenue Report
The Revenue Event is considered the subsequent event of the Start Event that occurred most recently before the Revenue Event. If a new Start Event occurs, the previous Start Event can no longer claim the revenue generated by the Revenue Events. The last Start Event takes all the credit for the revenue generated by all Revenue Events that occur afterward.
This attribution process may cause a data discrepancy between the Revenue Report and the actual report.
The Revenue Report offers 6 revenue metrics to choose from. The revenue metric data will be made visible in the view type selected.
The available metric options and the calculation methods are described in the table below. To learn more about how the calculation methods differ by report settings, refer to the examples in this article.
The metric is displayed differently depending on the view type you select.
When selecting "Cumulative" as the view type, the Revenue Report displays the running sum of all metric data calculated up to Day N. Therefore, the revenue amount displayed for the last day is equal to the total revenue amount.
Metrics that support the "Cumulative" view type: Revenue, Event Count, ROAS, ARPU, ARPPU
Example
Let’s say the view type is set to "Cumulative," and the following data is displayed.
The revenue displayed for Day 2, which is 60 USD, is the sum of the revenue generated from Day 0 to Day 2. Therefore, the revenue generated on Day 2 alone is 40 USD, which is the difference between the revenue displayed for Day 2 and Day 1.
When switching the view type to "Non-Cumulative," the same data will be displayed, as shown in the following table.
When selecting "Non-Cumulative" as the view type, the Revenue Report displays only the metric data for Day N.
Metrics that support the Non-Cumulative view type: Revenue, Event Count, User Count, PUR
Example
Let’s say the view type is set to "Non-Cumulative," and the following data is displayed.
The revenue for Day 2, which is 60 USD, is the revenue generated on Day 2. The revenue for Day 3, 80 USD, is the revenue generated on Day 3 alone.
When switching the view type to "Cumulative," the same data will be displayed, as shown in the following table.
When selecting "Cumulative Unique" as the view type, the Revenue Report displays the sum of unique values up to Day N.
Metrics that support the "Cumulative Unique" view type: User Count, PUR
Example
Let’s say the view type is set to "Cumulative Unique," and the following data is displayed.
The user count of Day 2, which is 600, is the sum of the unique users who performed the Revenue Event from Day 0 to Day 2.
Note that the difference between the Day 2 User Count and Day 1 User Count, 400, should not be interpreted as the number of unique users who performed the Revenue Event on Day 2; the Day 2 User Count, 600, is the sum of the unique users who performed the Revenue Event at least once between Day 0 to Day 2.
If you want to view the number of unique users who performed the Revenue Event on Day 2, select "Non-cumulative" as the view type.
You can enable the predictive lifetime value (pLTV) in the report by clicking the checkbox and selecting the calculation period from the drop-down menu. By enabling the pLTV feature, you can view the predictive revenue amount that is expected to be generated from your service. For more details about the pLTV, refer to this article.
Attention
All values displayed in the Revenue Report with the GroupBy and Filter options applied are based on users who performed the Start Event.
GroupBys are used to split the metric data into groups. Up to 6 GroupBys can be selected. You can rearrange the order of the GroupBys by dragging the GroupBy chips. Refer to this article to learn about the GroupBy options that are available.
Filters can be configured to display specific data in the chart and table. To configure a filter, select the filter option, operator, and value.
A sub-metric is an additional metric you can select to display on the report. The Revenue Report supports the following 6 sub-metrics.

To gain full visibility of your Meta ads campaign data in Airbridge reports, you need to accept Meta’s Advanced Mobile Measurement (AMM) Terms. Otherwise, Meta ads campaign data remains masked in Airbridge. For more information about Meta's AMM terms, refer to this article.
When selecting a metric, 3-4 sub-metrics are automatically selected. The sub-metrics can be added or deleted like the metrics. The sub-metric data are made available in fixed columns in the table.
The Revenue Report displays the revenue metric data at the chosen granularity in charts and tables. The revenue data will be displayed in the App Standard Currency. For details about the calculation methods used in the Revenue Report, refer to this article.
Note
Starting February 4, 2025, the Overview Dashboard, Actuals Report, Trend Report, Retention Report, Revenue Report, Active Users Report, and Audience Manager will only display events and metrics measurable using the collected data.
The Revenue Report displays the metric data in a line chart, with the data series visualized in different colored lines. By default, 8 datasets identified with the top total revenue appear on the chart. You can add or remove specific datasets from the chart by checking or unchecking the checkboxes next to the dataset names in the table.
You can add or remove specific datasets from the chart by clicking on the legend labels.
When hovering over the chart, you can view the data labels that identify the specific data points.
To view the value of a specific data point, hover over a specific data point.
When the values vary widely among the data series, you can add a secondary axis to the chart to improve its readability. Click on a data point of the data series you want to add a secondary axis to and select Right axis. The right axis appears, and the axis labels will accommodate the selected data series for improved readability.
For example, if Channel A's metric data is significantly smaller than the metric data of other Channels, the trend of Channel A's data isn’t easy to track in the chart. When adding the right axis for Channel A’s metric data, the Channel A data will be visualized in dotted lines, and the right axis labels will be set for a better understanding of the Channel A data.
By default, 8 datasets identified with the top total revenue appear in the chart. From the table, you can check or uncheck the checkboxes next to the dataset names to add or remove the data from the chart. Click the top checkbox to check or uncheck all 8 datasets at once.
The table shows the sub-metric data and the metric data by the set granularity (Day N, Week N, Month N).
