Alternative app stores: New opportunities for app growth | Adjust

By device manufacturers·2025年2月24日·4 分钟阅读

摘要

本文从广告技术和移动营销视角,探讨了欧盟DMA法规对应用分发格局的深远影响。传统上,App Store和Google Play主导应用分发,但DMA迫使苹果首次允许iOS上的第三方应用商店及侧载,为开发者开辟了新的用户获取渠道。替代商店主要分为三类:OEM厂商专属商店(如三星Galaxy Store)、独立商店(如Aptoide、F-Droid)以及新入局的iOS商店(如AltStore、Epic Games Store)。这些商店提供更低的佣金(低于标准的15%-30%)、更灵活的内容审核政策,以及通过设备预装提升曝光的机会,尤其有利于游戏、区块链等垂类应用。

从增长策略看,替代商店的核心价值在于降低UA成本、触达高意向用户。开发者可以利用这些平台的区域性优势(如新兴市场)和设备专属流量,配合预装合作和精选推荐,提升LTV。同时,多平台分发要求开发者采用更精细的归因分析——通过MMP追踪各渠道的ROAS和CPI,避免重复计算,从而实现增量提效。文章特别指出,苹果引入的Core Technology Fee(核心技术费)可能削弱部分财务优势,开发者需权衡分摊成本。

隐私与安全是替代商店面临的关键挑战。尽管苹果和谷歌强调其封闭生态的安全性,但替代商店正通过强化审核机制(如手动审核、恶意软件扫描)和透明度(如开源商店F-Droid)建立用户信任。欧盟主张竞争与安全可共存,而用户需具备风险意识,优选信誉良好的平台。对于广告主而言,跨渠道投放需注意数据合规,避免因隐私政策差异导致的归因中断。

展望未来,多平台分发将成为常态,开发者应提前布局。随着韩国、印度、美国等地区推动类似DMA的法规,全球应用商店政策将持续演变。Adapt建议开发者充分利用OEM合作获取预装量,并借助Adjust等MMP实现跨平台数据打通(包含SKAN框架下的iOS侧载归因)。虽然苹果和谷歌仍占据主导,但替代商店的市场份额正在提升,早期适应者有望获得竞争先机。文章最后呼吁开发者通过全链路数据驱动决策,优化从UA到变现的闭环。

The 4R framework for understanding deep linking | Adjust

Karthik Kannan distills deep linking into a practical 4R framework: Remember, Reach, Retrieve, Route. For ad ops teams, the key insight is that campaign context must survive the click-to-app journey. Adjust TrueLink captures link parameters on click; the user is then guided into the app via Universal Links, Android App Links, URI schemes, app stores, or web-to-app flows. On SDK init, the app session is matched and attributed to the click, then link data is passed to the app for routing. Decision-makers should ensure deep link paths, campaign parameters, attribution matching, and fallback journeys are tested to protect measurement and user experience.
