In our latest update to the service, we introduced genres and subgenres (found service-wide) to Market Explorer and added a new game feature: Paid progression plan.

The Feature List is new and improved with added filters for feature popularity and indicators for differentiating features found for your segment(s).

New Feature Paid Progression plan
Alongside the update to Market Explorer we’ve added yet another game feature to the service to cover Paid progression plan IAPs.
Definition
In games with Paid progression plans, players that purchase the plan get extra benefits (often premium currency) once they reach certain player level thresholds. Usually, these plans are marketed towards players by promising an X-times return for their real money purchase, if they are able to complete the plan in its entirety.

Contra: the Return’s progression plan is only available for VIP5-level players and higher. For an initial investment of 880 premium currency, you get an 8-fold reward equaling to 7050 premium currency if the player passes all the level thresholds in the plan.
