Is it worth it to buy incentivized downloads on Google Play?
Google publishes the number of downloads you have for your app so it’s advantageous to have high download numbers. If you have a bigger budget, it makes sense to buy incentivized downloads purely to move the number up and down. You don’t want to lose a customer just because they judged your app by the low number of downloads.
For one of my clients, we bought 5,000 downloads for $500 (about $.10 CPI) and we did through the Philippines. We drove the 5k downloads on Sept.19 but almost everybody uninstalled eventually so you need to foresee that you are not really going to get good users through this method. But the idea about buying incentivized downloads is that you can get cheap downloads while running other campaigns. You can combine the two to spike the stores. This is the approach which you need to take.
I also checked data from App Annie to see if our drive for downloads improved our keyword ranking and saw that there was a slight increase, albeit as very small one.
Can you elaborate what you mean by “working with an influencer?” as I see it – that part provided far more downloads and reviews than the purchased downloads?
We worked with a YouTube star who shared the game and that drove more downloads.

1k Android app installs for $90
I’ve wrote an article about how to use incent app installs in 2018 for more success, basically, yes, it is like you state: it is a cheaper way to get a higher install count, but you forgot about one thing – if the app that is marketed with incent app installs has a good quality, some users may stick. This way you get not only the higher app installs count, but also some users for a relatively low price. For example at https://richtech.solutions you can buy android installs with free geo targeting for $0.08 – if only 10% of the users stay, you would be at a price per user of $0.80 which is competitive in pricing terms for user acquisition to adwords and facebook as they also have a churn rate that needs to be considered.
