DT FairBid vs Professor ARPDAU

DT FairBid is a publisher monetization service for integrating and managing multiple mediated ad networks on apps or other publisher properties. Publishers configure apps, placements, and networks in DT Console; at least one placement is required to monetize an app. For bidding networks, DT runs an auction for a placement across the networks added to it. Waterfall mediation instead offers the placement to networks in the publisher's chosen order. FairBid demonstrates banner, interstitial, rewarded-video, and MREC formats, with integration guides for networks including Meta Audience Network, Liftoff Monetize, and Amazon Publisher Services. The service supports Android, iOS, and Unity apps and provides Management, Reporting, and User Level Reporting APIs. Those APIs require authentication tokens obtained with verification keys. Privacy options include disabling collection and transmission of the Android advertising ID and flagging users as children; documentation also covers mediated-network support for child-directed flags, GDPR consent strings, and CCPA opt-out strings. DT FairBid is provided free of charge, with publishers collecting payments directly from mediated ad networks.

Professor ARPDAU is a web service for product managers and teams working on free-to-play mobile games. Its analytics tools model retention, lifetime value, campaign break-even timing, daily active users and revenue. The retention calculator fits a regression curve from D1, D3, D7 and optional D30 observations; at least two observations are needed, while a 0% observation is excluded. The LTV predictor multiplies ARPDAU by the retention-curve total. A break-even analyzer uses CPI, observed LTV and retention metrics to estimate when cohort revenue exceeds acquisition cost. Another predictor models DAU from daily installs and retention scenarios, then estimates daily revenue with ARPDAU. Its geographical pricing tool can update in-app prices by country, with user-controlled targeting and adjustments, using Google Play Console access and Google’s API. Free modeling tools need no account.
