It’s easy to talk about bringing transparency into the nebulous mobile ad world. But in general, it’s always better to show than tell. And now that a new year has started, we’re excited to launch a new initiative of showing our eCPM performances around the world each month!

As you may know, Appodeal’s ad mediation platform helps mobile app publishers and developers monetize their apps by making over 70 ad demand sources compete for each ad impression. Our algorithm then evaluates all of the ad bids and serves the ad of highest ad bid.

The report below represents the average eCPMs from the 10+ billion impressions (or winning bids) served during the month of January 2020 for each of the country around the world in which we have significant impressions data. It focuses primarily on our top 3 ad formats (rewarded videos, full-screen ads, and banner ads), broken down by iOS and Android.

We hope mobile app publishers and developers will find this monthly eCPM performance report to be useful as a benchmark for your app’s ad revenue as well as for gaining a fuller understanding of earning potentials around the world as your app continues to grow.
