AppRefer review
AppRefer combines mobile ad attribution, conversion reporting and app revenue analytics.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
AppRefer brings mobile install and in-app conversion attribution together with product and revenue analytics. App makers and growth teams can use click IDs and SDK signals to attribute installs to ad networks and campaigns, track events such as trials and purchases, and forward supported conversions to ad networks. SDKs are documented for iOS, Android, Flutter and React Native, making it relevant to teams building across those mobile platforms. Its scope also extends into subscriptions and paywall experiments, so it is aimed at app businesses that want attribution alongside revenue-related tools rather than attribution alone.
Network coverage and measurement are central to the product. Supported network attribution includes Meta, Google Ads, TikTok and Apple Ads; integrations also list ChatGPT Ads and X Ads. AppRefer supports Apple SKAdNetwork 4.0 postbacks and conversion-value mapping, and imports advertising spend for campaign cost and ROAS reporting. Tracking links capture click IDs and route users to store experiences. That gives advertisers a connected view of campaign activity and app outcomes, but the described link behavior does not establish deep-linking into specific in-app destinations. Teams that require that capability should compare alternatives carefully.
Pricing is monthly: Indie costs $49, Starter $99, Growth $449, Scale $999 and Pro $1,999. The published plan highlights repeat the core Attribution and Conversions APIs, subscription and paywall tools, support chat, email and AI answers, and product and revenue analytics across Indie through Scale; Pro highlights omit unlimited seats and apps. Enterprise lists volume user pricing and a dedicated contact. There is no free plan, and the homepage promotes joining a waitlist, so availability may be gated. AppRefer is a fit for small advertisers seeking network-focused attribution and app analytics; teams needing verified fraud detection, deep-linking, or immediate access may prefer another option.
