Is AppLovin Actually Incremental? 8 Tests, Real Data, Real Results


Listen Later

Is AppLovin actually incremental — or just another platform taking credit for demand that already exists?

In this episode, we break down 8 real AppLovin incrementality tests run across live client accounts and share what the data actually shows. No speculation. No theory. Just results.

We cover why AppLovin’s measurement is more conservative than most platforms, how its attribution model impacts reported performance, and why every test so far has come back positively incremental. From there, we move beyond the lab and into execution — sharing tactical learnings from running AppLovin at scale across multiple brands.

You’ll hear practical insights on:

  • How AppLovin incrementality compares to Meta, Google, and YouTube

  • What we’ve learned from real spend, real revenue, and real tests

  • Campaign structure, bidding strategies, and when to consolidate vs segment

  • Creative formats that are working best inside mobile game environments

  • Why AppLovin is emerging as a legitimate “third platform” in the paid media stack

  • What Black Friday & Cyber Monday revealed about AppLovin’s scaling potential

If you’re an e-commerce operator trying to decide whether AppLovin deserves real budget — or just a test — this episode will help you make that call with confidence.
