In both cases the work that mattered happened after the install.
Quick answer
An app install campaign that stops at installs will deliver cheap installs from users who never open the app again. Optimising to registration, activation or first purchase costs more per install and delivers dramatically more revenue per pound spent.

Included
What app installs & registrations includes
What every campaign includes.
Step 01
Event mapping first
Before any budget: SDK check, event taxonomy, and a clear definition of the activation event that correlates with revenue. If the platform cannot see registration, it cannot optimise toward registrants.
Step 02
Install → registration → revenue
We build the campaign ladder deliberately: broad install campaigns to fill the top, then value-based and event-optimised campaigns targeting the users who actually complete registration and transact.
Step 03
Cohort reporting
Monthly cohort view showing what each install cohort did in week one, week four and beyond. This is the only honest way to judge whether the acquisition is working.
Step 04
Founder-managed
Utsav Daga runs every account himself, from strategy to the monthly update.
Step 05
Top-quality leads
Qualifying questions in every form, so tyre-kickers are filtered out before they reach you.
Step 06
A custom offer per client
Your offer, your ads, your postcodes. We never copy one campaign across clients.

App user acquisition and registration campaigns: FAQs
App-install costs vary depending on the app category, audience, platform, geography, competition, campaign objective and quality of traffic. There is no single CPI that applies to every app.
Cost Per Install, or CPI, measures the average amount spent to generate one app installation. It is calculated by dividing total advertising spend by the number of attributed installs.
If the business ultimately needs registrations, purchases or subscriptions, optimising only for installs may not be enough. The acquisition funnel should be evaluated from install → registration → activation → purchase or subscription → retention.
Both platforms can be useful for app user acquisition. The better option depends on the app, audience, acquisition objective, creative assets, conversion data and the downstream actions that matter to the business.
The required budget depends on expected CPI, audience size, campaign objective and the amount of conversion data needed for optimisation. A campaign should be planned around the desired downstream outcome rather than installs alone.
Important post-install events can include registration, activation, purchase or subscription and retention. Tracking these events helps determine whether advertising is generating valuable users rather than simply increasing installation numbers.
ASO, or App Store Optimisation, focuses on improving an app's visibility and conversion within app stores. Paid user acquisition and ASO can complement each other because paid campaigns can generate users while app-store optimisation can improve the effectiveness of organic and paid traffic.
A mobile measurement platform can help businesses measure attribution and understand where app users are coming from and what they do after installation. The right platform depends on the app's tracking requirements, advertising channels and measurement needs.
