Challenges in App Store Growth

Growing mobile apps in app stores is increasingly difficult due to high competition, app store restrictions, and significant commission fees charged by platforms like Apple and Google. These challenges can hinder app revenue growth and attribution. Many successful apps have effectively utilized web funnels to mitigate these issues, as web funnels allow for full attribution and significantly lower payment commissions. This strategy leads to better subscription retention, as users engaging via web funnels tend to maintain their subscriptions at higher rates.
