Monetization Optimization:
Which Monetization Strategy is Right for Your App in a Post-IDFA World?

With the deprecation of IDFA, and potential low-adoption rates for ATT opt-in, more than just your paid user acquisition will be affected. Ad Monetization will need to be adjusted, as will the adoption of Subscriptions. There are also blended models to consider, which can help you maximize revenue from both subscribers and those using an ad-supported experience.
