We have some exciting news to share: We are happy to inform you that GameRefinery has acquired Reflection.io! As we continue to develop GameRefinery a big part of this is listening to you our customers and your data needs, this led us to decide to boost our revenue and downloads data significantly.
Reflection has developed its app store data platform focusing on revenue and downloads data since 2013, building a strong offering and extensive market coverage. By combining this revenue and downloads data as part of GameRefinery, we are able to boost what we offer significantly to provide you with an even more compelling dataset covering a broader set of markets.
The acquisition of Reflection.io will enable GameRefinery to provide additional revenue and download data for iOS and Android games spanning 35 markets, on top of its unique feature-level insights. Reflection.io’s platform uses statistical algorithms that predict revenues combined with download figures from publicly available data and transactional sales data shared by publishers and developers.
Having access to the right data and insights remains essential for any successful mobile game publisher. And bringing together Reflection.io’s data around installs and app revenues with our own rich data on game features and engagement will give publishers something they’ve not had before; actionable data connecting features to monetization. This deal is really exciting for our whole team, as it gives us a whole new set of capabilities to build on.
Since launching in 2013, Reflection.io has worked with an impressive list of customers including Square Enix, Miniclip, Sky, BBC, Wooga, Endemol and Sega.
The plan is to incorporate Reflection.io’s capabilities into the GameRefinery portal over the coming months. In the meantime, the current platform will remain fully operational and accessible to existing customers at www.reflection.io. As our plans develop in the coming months, we’ll keep you informed about the exact schedule to make sure that you know how the integration project is proceeding.
