Which UA model is right for you? the case for CPA in mobile

For example, CPA models tend to be very popular with on-demand apps or apps with subscription models based on, say, a free trial event. Examples of these include fitness apps (such as Peloton and Obe Fitness) or entertainment or VOD apps (such as Showtime, VUDU etc). In these instances, CPA is preferable as a performance model because it's easier to optimize towards a certain fixed price based upon fixed subscription fees and expected conversion rates.

The 'In-App Gap': where premium eyeballs go to waste

In-app is far from a lawless, unpopulated no man's land of advertising. In fact, the latest stats show it's actually where audiences are spending most of their time. In the UK for example, just over two and a half hours a day are spent in the in-app environment, compared with only 20 minutes on the mobile web. That's a staggering 90% of the time on mobile spent in apps - whether messaging, social media, music, or gaming. It's a huge opportunity.
