Quickstart

These steps take one app from a new account to its first recommendations.

  1. Request beta access and accept the invite email.
  2. Set your password and sign in at app.spenddaddy.app.
  3. Open Add app and connect Apple Ads, plus App Store Connect if you want download metrics.
  4. Choose RevenueCat or the SpendDaddy API for revenue events.
  5. Finish the guided setup and wait for the first import email.

1. Get access​

SpendDaddy is in private beta. Request access, then open the invite email and set your password. The setup link is valid for 48 hours and works once.

2. Add your first app​

In the Add app flow, provide:

SpendDaddy checks each connection and lists the apps it found, ranked by how well they match across services. Pick the app you want and review its name before selecting Create app.

3. Connect revenue events​

If you chose RevenueCat, authorize SpendDaddy and grant access to the project that contains the app. SpendDaddy creates the webhook for you. If the setup flow shows a manual fallback URL instead, add it as a webhook integration in the matched RevenueCat app.

If you chose the SpendDaddy API, copy the generated key into your server-side secret store and follow the event API guide. Never embed this key in a mobile app.

4. Wait for the first import​

After you create the app, Overview shows an import screen while SpendDaddy imports your Apple Ads history and, for RevenueCat, up to 90 days of revenue history from RevenueCat Charts. This usually takes a few minutes. You can close the window: SpendDaddy emails you when your first numbers are ready.

5. Check the connection​

  • Your app appears in SpendDaddy.
  • Each source shows as connected in Settings → Connections.
  • Active Apple Ads campaigns appear in Campaigns.
  • Metrics appear on Overview and proposed changes appear in Needs attention after the first data refresh.

If a source is not ready, confirm that its credentials have the required permissions, then see Troubleshooting.

6. Review your targets​

  • Set your target trial and paid CAC, minimum ROAS, and bid step sizes in Settings → Targets.
  • Confirm that the campaigns listed under Campaigns belong to this app.
  • Read the evidence and budget impact on each item in Needs attention before applying it.
