Conversion

Install-to-trial (all durations)

Of installs, the share that start a trial — averaged across apps and reported without splitting by plan duration.

Not broken out by plan duration even where a duration filter is offered — the publisher repeats one value across buckets. Treat any duration-specific reading of it as unsupported.

Compare your metric

Each source is compared against independently. Nothing here is averaged across sources, and there is no combined industry figure. This runs entirely in your browser. Your figures are never sent anywhere, never stored, and never included in analytics — only which metric you chose is counted.

Can these be compared?

Roughly comparable

Only one source in this dataset publishes this metric for this segment. That is a single reading, not a consensus.

These observations cannot be combined into one figure, so they are shown separately. Different geographies: not broken out vs North America. Publishers define their regions differently, so similar-sounding names are not the same country list.

Sample
Subscription data from more than 16,000 apps representing $3 billion in subscription revenue.
How it is aggregated
Conversion benchmarks are computed as app-level rates (trials or purchases divided by installs) within a segment, then aggregated as the AVERAGE of per-app rates. Medians and percentiles are reported alongside averages on some charts.
Measurement period
2025, with 2023 comparisons on selected charts.

Average

Evidence Sample, statistic and metric definition all stated by the publisher.

Methodology
Computed as app-level rates within the segment, then aggregated as the average of per-app rates. Averages of per-app rates are pulled upward by strong outliers, so this sits above a median of the same population. Because plan duration is unknown at install, this is calculated across all durations and the same value is repeated for every duration bucket. A duration-specific reading is unsupported by the source.

As published
North American users are both more willing to start trials and more likely to convert — with an install-to-trial rate of 14.5%, compared to 7.6–10.2% elsewhere.

Pairwise comparability

The verdict below is produced by a fixed set of rules, not a model. It looks at the metric definition, the denominator, the cohort, the statistic, the segment, the dataset and the publication dates, and reports every reason it found.
