Understanding various Tracking Solutions (Overview)

The purpose of tracking solutions is to track installs or conversions, you may need to integrate tracking SDK into your app in order to trigger conversions and your SDK provider will send the conversion postback to our server.

Apart from our own proprietary tracking solution and our own free tracking SDK, we also support 3rd party tracking solutions as well. Please find an overview below:-

Standard Tracking (DEPRECATED)	Standard Tracking, our own proprietary solution, doesn't require an integrated SDK or any setup and is the right choice for most customers. It's the only tracking solution supporting high retention installs and detailed installation statistics and has numerous fraud prevention mechanics. However, depending on the app type, opening the app is not required for the end user.	No SDK requiredLimited trafficNot recommended
CPIDroid Tracking SDK (DEPRECATED)	Our own, free tracking SDK can be used as an easy to integrate option for any kind of CPI and CPA campaign conversion tracking. It offers real time installation, startup and event tracking, advanced fraud detection and the capability to drive high volume campaigns while only adding 6kb of payload to your app. The integration is simple, shouldn't take more than 5 minutes, works well with other libraries such as firebase / analytics and doesn't require additional permissions. CPI Droid SDK Integration Guide	Our own free tracking SDK
