🔥 The Art of Scaling Applovin UA & Admon: A Deep dive

AppLovin’s Axon 2 algorithm represents a fundamental shift in user acquisition, moving away from manual optimization toward a sophisticated, data-driven black box model.

  • AppLovin’s Axon 2 algorithm functions as a black box that requires stable data inputs; changing ROAS goals every 2–3 days prevents the system from calibrating, as it forces the algorithm to constantly re-target different user segments.
  • For IAP-based games, D28 ROAS campaigns are recommended over shorter windows because they yield higher-quality, higher-retention users, even if initial D0 metrics appear significantly lower.
  • Campaigns require a minimum of 10–14 days to calibrate on a specific ROAS goal before any adjustments should be made to the target.
