Cost Overview

This feature is available only with paid Kochava accounts. Contact us to learn more.

Feature Summary: The Cost Overview page displays a numeric and graphic overview for all of the cost data associated with an account.

 

Kochava Cost provides access to daily spend reports across all of your (Kochava Cost-integrated) network partners, all in one place. Once a configuration has been established with an API-connected partner (or a Manual Upload partner), Kochava Cost records and displays the daily spend in an easy-to-consume graphical representation – so your team can get a quick view of the overall Cost across apps, platforms, partners or campaigns.

 

  • Filter by partner or campaign.
  • Enable/Disable visualization metrics with one click.
  • Adjust the date range to customize the view.
  • Display totals for partner-reported Spend, Impressions, Cost Per Mille (CPM), Clicks, Cost Per Click (CPC), Installs, and Cost per Install (CPI).
