What is a Mobile Measurement Partner (MMP)?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMMP<\/a> is short for mobile measurement partner - it's a tool that collects attribution data and assesses how well a campaign is doing on various advertising channels.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Why do you need an MMP?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn essence, any advertiser aiming to expand their marketing efforts needs an MMP.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAs your user-acquisition campaigns grow and you start to incorporate diverse marketing channels, attempting to analyze data across various ad network dashboards becomes impractical. An MMP is essential for normalizing this data, especially considering the variations in metric calculations among different ad networks.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn an attempt to minimize costs, advertisers adopt a \"risk-averse\" approach by limiting their user-acquisition campaigns to just one or two ad networks, and rely solely on the respective ad network dashboards for data comparison. However, we argue that such a strategy may lead to negative outcomes. In the event that one or both channels start to underperform, the advertiser would find themselves in a challenging situation.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTherefore, we strongly recommend advertisers to consistently experiment with different channels to enhance their overall strategy. And in doing so, incorporate an MMP in their tech stack to help them normalize the data coming from the different channels.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How does an MMP work?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nA crucial role performed by MMPs involves accurately and impartially attributing app installs<\/a> to specific ad networks<\/a>. Below are simple illustrations of what the process looks like for install attribution for approximately 80% of the ad networks.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFor simplicity's sake, we have broken down the process into two parts:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

          \"image.png\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBefore we get started on explaining the images themselves, let's first talk about each of the parties included in the diagram above.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWe have:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
            \r\n \t
          1. \r\n
              \r\n \t
            1. The Advertiser: This party owns the app featured in the ad, ideally leading to a user installing it<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                \r\n \t
              1. \r\n
                  \r\n \t
                1. The MMP: This party collects attribution data for the advertiser, and helps them assess how well a campaign is doing on various advertising channels<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                    \r\n \t
                  1. \r\n
                      \r\n \t
                    1. The Publisher: This party provides the space for the advertiser to run ads inside their app<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                        \r\n \t
                      1. \r\n
                          \r\n \t
                        1. The ad network: This party acts as an intermediary between the publisher and the advertiser. Their job is to match the ad supply from the publishers to the demand from the advertisers.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                            \r\n \t
                          1. \r\n
                              \r\n \t
                            1. The User: This party is being targeted with the advertiser's ads. The goal, or best case scenario for the advertiser, is for this party to install the advertiser's app through these targeted ads.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nNow let's dive into what's happening in Part 1 of the process. The first step is for the advertiser to create a campaign (or campaigns) in Tenjin, or whatever MMP they are using. The MMP will then generate unique click tracking URLs or deep links<\/a> that can be used for non-SAN networks<\/a> or custom channels<\/a>. This is so the MMP can measure when the user clicks on an ad shown by an ad network.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nNext, the publisher app requests an ad from the ad network. The ad network then serves the ad For the sake of this example, we assume that the ad is clicked by the user inside the publisher app.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                              \"image.png\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen the user clicks on the ad, the Tenjin (or MMP) server is notified. The user is then redirected to the App Store. In the event that the user ends up installing the app, the MMP server is pinged again, and attributes a device to a specific ad network, and notifies the ad network of the install.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

                              How MMPs benefit your business<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

                              MMPs empower advertisers to get a unified view of all their marketing data<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nUsing an MMP ensures that you view all your marketing data in one unified view from all your marketing channels, including online and offline sources. This helps users identify their top-performing channels, i.e. those with the highest conversion rates.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

                              An MMP ensures accurate attribution of installs, empowering advertisers to optimize campaigns and maximize ROI<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

                              <\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe task of accurately attributing installs that we have elaborated on above holds significant importance for app marketers, as they rely on precise data to identify the most effective channels and ad networks driving conversions. Ultimately, this information guides their investment decisions, enabling them to allocate resources wisely to maximize their ROI<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn simpler terms, MMP's help advertisers answer the question \"Which channels have the best ROI?\"\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMMPs are able to do this using a combination of methods such as utilizing unique device IDs for individual user attribution, employing probabilistic modeling, and incorporating SKAdNetwork post iOS 14 for deterministic aggregated level attribution for all iOS 14.5+ users.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

                              MMPs use models like last-click attribution, ensuring advertisers pay only the ad network credited with the install, rather than all different ad networks the user interacted with along the way.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe average user usually clicks on ads from different ad networks. As an example, let's say the user clicked on a Mintegral<\/a> campaign, as well as a Google Ads campaign that led them to the same app. He\/she can only be associated with one of those campaigns. According to the last click attribution model<\/a> used by Tenjin, that user is then associated with the last ad they clicked on.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                              \"image.png\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFor simplicity's sake, let's break this entire process down using a timeline (illustrated below). The user first interacts by clicking on a Mintegral ad. They check the app, but do not download it. Later on, they come across a Google ads ad for the same app. This time, they downloaded the app. According to the last click attribution model, this install is attributed to Google Ads, and all the events get tied to this Google Ads campaign through that user.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nExamples of such events are when that user buys something in the app i.e. makes an in-app purchase (IAP)<\/a>, clicks on an in-app advertisement (IAA)<\/a>, or completes a level in a game.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                              \"image.png\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe role of attribution is important here, because in such a case advertisers would only want to pay Google Ads, not Mintegral - because they did not give them the install.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                              \"image.png\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn the past, when there was no attribution, advertisers would be paying both Mintegral, and Google Ads. So to revise, one of the key benefits of working with an MMP or an attribution provider is that they assign a user to a specific ad network.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                              \"image.png\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

                              An MMP eliminates the need for integrating multiple channel SDKs, since you only need to integrate one MMP SDK<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAnother key benefit of using an MMP is that as an advertiser that is advertising on different channels, you only need to integrate one SDK--which is the third-party MMP SDK. You don't need to integrate different channel SDK's.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

                              How to find the best MMP for you<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEven though the core functions of all MMP's (attribution) are the same, additional features that are often referred to as \"add-ons\" that they offer are completely different. This makes choosing the right MMP for your business seem like a daunting task at first, but it can be made simple by following some of our tips and best practices below:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                                \r\n \t
                              1. \r\n
                                  \r\n \t
                                1. List your priorities and goals for the MMP, considering features, support, and budget.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                                    \r\n \t
                                  1. \r\n
                                      \r\n \t
                                    1. Explore different MMP websites, especially their pricing pages, for key information. At this point, it is important to understand that a lot of times it may seem like you are getting all the features and products in a specific plan. However, it is important to cross-check what you are going to have access to, and what you would need to pay additionally for. Are all the features you have listed in the first point being offered in a certain plan? Have you also considered the features you don't need right now, but may want to incorporate in the future?<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                                        \r\n \t
                                      1. \r\n
                                          \r\n \t
                                        1. Remember, a relationship with an MMP is likely a more of a long term commitment for most people. Therefore, it is important to think about what features you may need in the future as well. As an example, incorporating ROAS campaigns might not make sense for you and your business right now, but you might want to check with the MMP and understand the additional costs associated with it in case you want to incorporate them in the future. Most MMP's will charge additionally for a lot of these features.

                                              \r\n \t
                                            1. Schedule demos with the shortlisted MMPs to address specific business needs, and get answers to all the questions you have gathered in points 1 and 2.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

                                                  \r\n \t
                                                1. Try free trials or sign up for free plans with your selected MMPs, integrating their SDKs for testing: To the best of our knowledge, most MMP's offer generous free trials to help users understand their platform and choose accordingly. Tenjin's free plan, for example, grants users 2000 free attributions a month (or 24000 free attributions a year). The plan also includes unlimited organic installs, ad spend and ad revenue reporting, SKAdNetwork reporting, and more.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

                                                  How to start using Tenjin as my MMP?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWe have made the process of starting to use Tenjin as easy as possible for users.

An MMP is essential for normalizing this data, especially considering the variations in metric calculations among different ad networks.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nIn an attempt to minimize costs, advertisers adopt a \"risk-averse\" approach by limiting their user-acquisition campaigns to just one or two ad networks, and rely solely on the respective ad network dashboards for data comparison. However, we argue that such a strategy may lead to negative outcomes. In the event that one or both channels start to underperform, the advertiser would find themselves in a challenging situation.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nTherefore, we strongly recommend advertisers to consistently experiment with different channels to enhance their overall strategy. And in doing so, incorporate an MMP in their tech stack to help them normalize the data coming from the different channels.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does an MMP work?<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nA crucial role performed by MMPs involves accurately and impartially<a href=\"\/v1\/docs\/glossary-attribution\"> attributing app installs<\/a> to specific <a href=\"\/v1\/docs\/ad-network\">ad networks<\/a>.

The first step is for the advertiser to create a campaign (or campaigns) in Tenjin, or whatever MMP they are using. The MMP will then generate unique click tracking URLs or <a href=\"\/v1\/docs\/deep-linking\">deep links<\/a> that can be used for <a href=\"\/v1\/docs\/non-self-attributing-networks\">non-SAN networks<\/a> or <a href=\"\/v1\/docs\/custom-channels\">custom channels<\/a>. This is so the MMP can measure when the user clicks on an ad shown by an ad network.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nNext, the publisher app requests an ad from the ad network. The ad network then serves the ad For the sake of this example, we assume that the ad is clicked by the user inside the publisher app.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":13101,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img class=\"wp-image-13101\" src=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image525.png\" alt=\"image.png\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nWhen the user clicks on the ad, the Tenjin (or MMP) server is notified. The user is then redirected to the App Store. In the event that the user ends up installing the app, the MMP server is pinged again, and attributes a device to a specific ad network, and notifies the ad network of the install.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How MMPs benefit your business<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MMPs empower advertisers to get a unified view of all their marketing data<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nUsing an MMP ensures that you view all your marketing data in one unified view from all your marketing channels, including online and offline sources. This helps users identify their top-performing channels, i.e. those with the highest conversion rates.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An MMP ensures accurate attribution of installs, empowering advertisers to optimize campaigns and maximize ROI<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nThe task of accurately attributing installs that we have elaborated on above holds significant importance for app marketers, as they rely on precise data to identify the most effective channels and ad networks driving conversions. Ultimately, this information guides their investment decisions, enabling them to allocate resources wisely to maximize their <a href=\"\/v1\/docs\/roi\">ROI<\/a>.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nIn simpler terms, MMP's help advertisers answer the question \"Which channels have the best ROI?\"\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nMMPs are able to do this using a combination of methods such as utilizing unique device IDs for individual user attribution, employing probabilistic modeling, and incorporating SKAdNetwork post iOS 14 for deterministic aggregated level attribution for all iOS 14.5+ users.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MMPs use models like last-click attribution, ensuring advertisers pay only the ad network credited with the install, rather than all different ad networks the user interacted with along the way.<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nThe average user usually clicks on ads from different ad networks. As an example, let's say the user clicked on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mintegral.com\/\">Mintegral<\/a> campaign, as well as a Google Ads campaign that led them to the same app. He\/she can only be associated with one of those campaigns. According to the <a href=\"\/v1\/docs\/last-click-attribution\">last click attribution model<\/a> used by Tenjin, that user is then associated with the last ad they clicked on.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":13102,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img class=\"wp-image-13102\" src=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image526.png\" alt=\"image.png\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nFor simplicity's sake, let's break this entire process down using a timeline (illustrated below). The user first interacts by clicking on a Mintegral ad. They check the app, but do not download it. Later on, they come across a Google ads ad for the same app. This time, they downloaded the app. According to the last click attribution model, this install is attributed to Google Ads, and all the events get tied to this Google Ads campaign through that user.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nExamples of such events are when that user buys something in the app i.e. makes an <a href=\"\/v1\/docs\/in-app-purchases-iap\">in-app purchase (IAP)<\/a>, clicks on an <a href=\"\/v1\/docs\/in-app-advertising-iaa\">in-app advertisement (IAA)<\/a>, or completes a level in a game.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":13103,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img class=\"wp-image-13103\" src=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image527.png\" alt=\"image.png\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nThe role of attribution is important here, because in such a case advertisers would only want to pay Google Ads, not Mintegral - because they did not give them the install.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":13104,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img class=\"wp-image-13104\" src=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image529.png\" alt=\"image.png\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nIn the past, when there was no attribution, advertisers would be paying both Mintegral, and Google Ads. So to revise, one of the key benefits of working with an MMP or an attribution provider is that they assign a user to a specific ad network.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":13105,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img class=\"wp-image-13105\" src=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image530.png\" alt=\"image.png\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An MMP eliminates the need for integrating multiple channel SDKs, since you only need to integrate one MMP SDK<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nAnother key benefit of using an MMP is that as an advertiser that is advertising on different channels, you only need to integrate one SDK--which is the third-party MMP SDK. You don't need to integrate different channel SDK's.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":13106,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img class=\"wp-image-13106\" src=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image531.png\" alt=\"image.png\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to find the best MMP for you<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nEven though the core functions of all MMP's (attribution) are the same, additional features that are often referred to as \"add-ons\" that they offer are completely different. This makes choosing the right MMP for your business seem like a daunting task at first, but it can be made simple by following some of our tips and best practices below:\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:list {\"ordered\":true} -->\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- wp:list-item -->\r\n \t<li>List your priorities and goals for the MMP, considering features, support, and budget.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>Explore different MMP websites, especially their pricing pages, for key information. At this point, it is important to understand that a lot of times it may seem like you are getting all the features and products in a specific plan. However, it is important to cross-check what you are going to have access to, and what you would need to pay additionally for. Are all the features you have listed in the first point being offered in a certain plan? Have you also considered the features you don't need right now, but may want to incorporate in the future?<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>Remember, a relationship with an MMP is likely a more of a long term commitment for most people. Therefore, it is important to think about what features you may need in the future as well. As an example, incorporating ROAS campaigns might not make sense for you and your business right now, but you might want to check with the MMP and understand the additional costs associated with it in case you want to incorporate them in the future. Most MMP's will charge additionally for a lot of these features.
