Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is Industry Benchmarks?

Branch’s Industry Benchmarks compare your performance side by side with other apps and brands in your vertical across paid and organic channels. Benchmark data updates daily and uses a rolling 30-day window. Ivy, Branch’s integrated AI, surfaces daily benchmarking trends for quick insights.

What metrics can I benchmark?

Branch Industry Benchmarks compare four install-based metrics against your vertical’s median: paid install share by ad partner, organic install share by channel, paid-to-organic install ratio, and click-to-install rate (CTI) by channel. You can view each metric by network, such as Meta or Google, or by channel, such as email or organic social. 

How should I use benchmark data?

Benchmarks show whether you’re over- or under-investing in specific ad partners compared with other apps in your vertical, and where you might face less competition. You can also see how your organic channel mix stacks up, how much you rely on paid installs, and whether your conversion rates reflect your own campaign performance or are typical for that channel.

What verticals does Industry Benchmarks support?

Branch Industry Benchmarks supports 14 verticals, including entertainment, fintech, food and beverage, gaming, healthcare, lifestyle, marketplaces, news media, retail (fashion), retail (non-fashion), telecom and utilities, tools and productivity, traditional finance and insurance, and travel. Each vertical is evaluated daily to ensure verticalized data meets technical safeguards and minimum threshold requirements.

Where does the benchmark data come from?

Branch Industry Benchmarks’ data is derived from the same first-party data that powers Branch attribution. We apply technical safeguards to protect customer’s proprietary strategies and identities.

How does Branch protect sensitive customer data?

Branch Industry Benchmarks protects sensitive customer data by aggregating and surfacing median values. To protect anonymity, Branch applies minimum threshold requirements to verticals. Data that doesn’t meet these thresholds doesn’t get surfaced.
