How we calculate this

Cost per Acquisition — your total ad spend divided by the purchases it drove. We report the median — not the mean — across a small cohort of anonymized marketing & advertising brands over a rolling 90-day window, refreshed daily. Medians resist outliers, so one runaway account can't skew the number. Every cohort respects a minimum-brand floor for anonymity. Read the full methodology →
