Chartboost releases global CPI heat map for iOS and Android installs
Plenty of mobile ecosystem companies are now releasing high-level market data.

And US outfit Chartboost has joined their number.

It's doing something rather different - and more graphical - than most, however.

Every month, it's releasing a global 'heat map' of the cost per install on iOS and Android on a micro-site.

It also breaks out the average value for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Android.

Heat, heat, baby

In terms of ranges, iOS CPI rates during June ran from $2.49 in Australia and $2.23 in Canada (popular test launch regions), to $2.23 for the US and $2 in the UK.

The total iOS CPI range was from $0.89 to $2.49.



For Android, the CPI range was from $0.50 to $1.20, with the Netherlands, Sweden, Canada, Australia, and Singapore all over $2.00.

In terms of methodology, Chartboost points out that its technology runs in over 16,000 games and it hosts over 8 billion game sessions per month.

"Given the size of our network, we believe the data can provide useful insights for developers looking to understand the mobile landscape," it states.
