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.
