Apple Expands App Store Analytics With New Monetization Metrics and Insights
App Store

Apple has rolled out a significant update to App Store Connect Analytics, introducing new in-app purchase and subscription data, benchmarking tools, and advanced filtering capabilities to help developers better understand app performance. 

The update gives developers deeper visibility into how users interact with apps and spend money—marking one of Apple’s most meaningful improvements to its analytics platform in recent years.

New Monetization Benchmarks for Developers

One of the biggest additions is the introduction of peer group benchmarking metrics, allowing developers to compare their app performance against similar apps.

New benchmarks include:

  • Download-to-paid conversion rate

  • Proceeds per download

Apple says these metrics use privacy-preserving techniques to ensure individual developer data remains secure while still offering meaningful insights. 

👉 This is a major shift—developers can now understand not just their own performance, but how they stack up against competitors.

New Subscription and Revenue Reports

Apple is also adding two new subscription reports, which can be exported via the Analytics Reports API.

These reports allow developers to:

  • Analyze subscription trends

  • Perform offline data analysis

  • Integrate App Store data into custom dashboards or BI tools

This makes it easier for teams to build data-driven growth strategies without relying solely on the App Store interface. 

Advanced Filtering for Deeper Insights

The update introduces enhanced filtering capabilities inside App Store Connect.

Developers can now:

  • Apply up to seven filters simultaneously

  • Drill down into specific user segments

  • Analyze performance across regions, devices, or acquisition channels

👉 This enables much more granular insights compared to previous versions.

New App Store Analytics Guide

To help developers make the most of these updates, Apple has released a new App Store Analytics Guide.

The guide explains:

  • How to interpret key metrics

  • How to build a data-driven growth strategy

  • Which App Store tools to use for optimization

This reflects Apple’s push toward helping developers move from basic analytics → strategic decision-making
