Picture two apps, side by side — same number of DAUs, same region, same ad partner, same creative. One would think they should be making roughly the same in annual revenue, right?
What if we told you that one earns $584,000 a year, and the other makes $1.11 million? What makes the difference? It all comes down to user consent.

The gap between a 65% and 90%+ privacy opt-in rate can mean $525,000 in lost revenue annually for a 100K DAU app — and most teams have no idea where they stand.
This guide breaks down the true cost of consent debt, why the average app sits at just 80% opt-in, and the exact tactics top performers use to consistently hit 90%+: prompt timing, banner design, vendor list optimization, and more.
Usercentrics shares this real-world scenario in their latest report, How to turn privacy into a growth lever for mobile games and apps, now available to download directly from Business of Apps.
In the report, Usercentircs explores the link between user consent and ad revenue, drawing on a landmark 2024 analysis of billions of ad impressions across 19 countries.
According to the report, trackable impressions command a significant premium over un-trackable ones. In the US, for example, a consented user generates roughly 50% more ad revenue than a non-consented one. Simply put, every percentage point of opt-in translates directly into revenue.
A separate large-scale analysis corroborates these findings. Analysing 218 million ad impressions across more than 10,500 publishers, researchers report a 23% average price drop when user tracking is unavailable.
The report also benchmarks apps according to opt-in rates, with average apps having an opt-in of around 80%, while top performers sit at 90% and above.
Beyond the data, the report also features a plethora of proactive strategies and advice for improving opt-in rates.
