Cost Overview

Contents

This feature is available only with paid Kochava accounts. Contact us to learn more.

The Cost Overview page displays a numeric and graphic overview for all of the cost data associated with an account.

Kochava Cost provides access to daily spend reports across all of your (Kochava Cost-integrated) network partners, all in one place. Once a configuration has been established with an API-connected partner (or a Manual Upload partner), Kochava Cost records and displays the daily spend in an easy-to-consume graphical representation – so your team can get a quick view of the overall Cost across apps, platforms, partners or campaigns.
