SplitMetrics Agency review
Shortlist-ready for Mobile / App Marketing, with the caveats below.
A full-cycle mobile growth agency with verified Apple Ads, ASO, paid-social, creative-testing, international scaling, and revenue/KPI evidence.
No published price we can link to. We do not estimate one — ask on the call, and see the pricing-transparency line in the scores below.
How it scored
Every dimension is scored against this discipline’s published rubric. Open one to see the claim it was scored on, what the rubric measures there and how much it weighs, and where the evidence came from.
How we scored this
We read the agency’s public record first-hand — its site, pricing, case studies and independent reviews — and score what is checkable: what is published, not how it is phrased. There is no keyword counting or sentiment scoring. The label is a judgment on those facts, which is why each dimension shows the fact that decided it, the band it was judged against, and the sources — so you can check the call, and tell us if you think it is wrong. The full method, and who pays, is on how we vet.

Verdict
SplitMetrics Agency is a strong fit for established apps that need Apple Ads and ASO integrated with creative testing and broader paid acquisition. Current G2 reviews describe more than 18 months of agency support, brand protection, country expansion, custom screenshots, Meta, Google, TikTok, revenue, and KPI improvement. The group also sells software, so define the human service scope, MMP and privacy responsibilities, fraud controls, data access, and pricing separately.

What we verified
Each claim below was checked against a named source, last on 2026-07-24. Follow any of them and check for yourself — that is the point of publishing them.

No independent reviews found
Current verified reviews consistently praise Apple Ads, ASO, analysis, communication, and cross-channel growth; commercial terms remain opaque.
Not finding one is not a mark against the agency and does not move the score. It does mean there is no third-party record to set against ours — so this verdict rests on the rubric and the sources above, and nothing else.
Red flags
- Software and agency scope must be separated contractually
- No public agency pricing
- Require channel-level post-install quality metrics
What we could not verify
- SKAN, ATT, MMP, and privacy operating details
- Fraud rejection, account permissions, and incident handling
- Agency pricing, minimum term, data ownership, and termination
