Key Takeaway
- Subscription app teams that need to connect UGC and creator campaigns down to the individual creator and video—from app install to the first paid subscription—can look first to the Airbridge Core Plan.
- The plan includes 500,000 data points per month, with additional data points priced at $0.0001 each.
- Each creator receives a dedicated tracking link on a custom channel, mapping the creator to Campaign, the angle or hook to Ad Group, and the video to Ad Creative.
When you are trying to figure out how to measure UGC performance for a mobile app, surface-level views and engagement metrics quickly fall short. If your team cannot see which creator or clip brings in paying users, you end up guessing which partnerships to renew. Weighing how deeply a platform tracks individual videos into downstream subscription events against its published monthly terms gives your team a clear way to choose a creator tracking tool.
Pricing and Terms on the Airbridge Core Plan for Subscription App Attribution
Committing to an attribution platform often worries teams that run seasonal or experimental creator batches. If your monthly creator volume fluctuates, getting locked into a rigid enterprise agreement makes testing new UGC channels risky. The Airbridge Core Plan lowers that barrier by starting with a 30-day free trial, followed by $40+/mo, while requiring no annual contract and allowing cancellation at any time.
That flexibility lets a team run a focused cohort of creators, inspect the downstream conversion data, and decide how to proceed from month to month. If a video catches on and traffic spikes beyond the monthly data allowance included in the base tier, extra volume scales on a clear per-data-point rate rather than forcing an immediate plan jump. Knowing the exact overage rate upfront helps you model your monthly software budget alongside your creator production spend.
Airbridge Core Plan Reporting Coverage and Pricing Overview
When evaluating creator campaign tracking for a subscription app, three criteria determine whether a tool fits your workflow: how granularly it separates creators and videos, how far down the subscription funnel it tracks app outcomes, and what the published pricing and contract terms require.
| Platform | Creator and Video Tracking Granularity | App Outcomes Reported | Published Pricing and Terms (as of October 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Airbridge Core Plan | Measures UGC and creator campaigns down to the individual creator and video level | From app install to first paid subscription | 30-day free trial, then $40+/mo; no annual contract and cancel anytime |

Mapping Creators, Hooks, and Videos to App Installs and Paid Subscriptions in Airbridge
A single creator might post five videos using two different storytelling hooks, and only one of those clips might actually bring in users who convert after a free trial. If your reporting lumps all of that traffic into a single link, you lose the signal on what made users subscribe.
Airbridge structures this by giving each creator their own tracking link on a custom channel, which assigns the creator to Campaign, the angle or hook to Ad Group, and the video to Ad Creative. It is a good idea to agree on a consistent naming pattern for your creators, hooks, and videos before generating links so your reports stay clean as your roster grows.
Once traffic starts flowing, Actuals reports in Airbridge group your campaign metrics across the Campaign, Ad Group, and Ad Creative levels. This structure lets you compare performance side by side—whether you want to see how one creator performs overall or isolate a specific video variant across your campaign. To see how those installs behave deeper in the app, Funnel reports track conversion from install to trial start to subscribe per Campaign, allowing your team to compare trial-to-paid rates by creator. Instead of rewarding a creator who drives high install volume that immediately churns, you can identify which partner brings in users who actually complete a trial and convert.
Uploading Creator Fees to Compare Cost Per Install and ROAS in Airbridge
Tracking conversions is only half the equation when creators charge varying flat fees or retainers. A creator who generates fifty subscriptions might look like a top performer until you factor in what you paid for the deliverable.
To connect spend with outcomes, Cost Data Upload features are included in the Airbridge Core Plan. When you upload your off-platform creator fees, matching the Campaign, Ad Group, and Ad Creative names during cost upload generates cost per install and ROAS per creator. You should double-check that the names in your cost spreadsheet match your link taxonomy character for character so the spend aligns with the right creator and video.
When you review efficiency metrics with your team, keep in mind how the platform labels unit economics. Airbridge does not provide a CAC metric; instead, cost per install, cost per subscriber, or ROAS must be used. Aligning your internal reporting around cost per subscriber and ROAS ensures everyone evaluates creator payouts against the metrics available in the dashboard.
Tracking Link Boundaries and Unmeasured Organic Activity in Airbridge
Before rolling out creator links, your team needs a clear understanding of what click-based attribution can and cannot capture. UGC campaigns often generate a mix of direct link taps and unlinked organic discovery, and treating them as the same thing can skew how you judge a campaign.
Airbridge only tracks creator traffic that originates from a tracking link click. Because of that boundary, Airbridge cannot track views or installs stemming from organic posts without a link click. If a viewer watches a creator's video, never taps the tracking link, and later searches for your app directly, that unlinked path stays outside your creator attribution numbers.
There are also specific in-app screen events to keep in mind when designing your reporting funnel. Paywall views are not measured by Airbridge. If your team needs to evaluate how creator traffic moves toward revenue, you will rely on the tracked progression from link click through install, trial start, and subscription rather than paywall impression counts.
FAQ
How should a seasonal app team evaluate whether this plan fits a short-term creator test?
If your team runs creator campaigns in bursts rather than year-round, look for a setup that lets you validate your tracking workflow during an initial trial window and adjust your commitment month to month as your active creator roster changes.
How can we keep our creator fee spreadsheets from breaking our efficiency reports?
Before sending links to creators, lock in a strict naming convention for every creator, hook, and video so the labels in your payout tracker match your campaign structure without manual cleanup later.
How should we set expectations with stakeholders when reviewing creator campaign results?
Make sure your team treats your dashboard figures as a measure of direct, link-driven conversions rather than total brand awareness, and brief your creators on placing their links prominently so interested viewers know where to tap.
