Move beyond correlation: Measure the incremental impact of your acquisition campaigns

By Rachel Siegman·Jan 13, 2026·5 min read

Incrementality for UA by AppsFlyer addresses modern marketing challenges by providing causal measurement alongside traditional attribution.
It automates geo-based lift experiments using Google's Time-Based Regression methodology to distinguish between conversions that would have happened organically versus those driven by ads.
The solution integrates directly into AppsFlyer's dashboard, showing lift and last-touch metrics side-by-side.
Early testing revealed that 18% of strong attribution campaigns showed no incremental lift, while 30% drove up to 10x more impact than attributed.
This helps marketers avoid overvaluing campaigns capturing existing demand and undervaluing hidden performers, enabling more confident budget allocation based on causal evidence.
