What is Cost per registration?

Cost per registration is the ad cost of each new player account. For PC and console titles it often replaces CPI as the core acquisition metric.

Worked example

If spend is $10,000 and registrations is 4,000, then Cost per registration = $2.50.

Tactical application guide

Cost per registration links spend and registrations in a fixed ratio, so any two pin down the third. Planning backwards is where it earns its keep: enter the spend you have and the Cost per registration you are targeting, and the solver tells you the registrations you must secure. Or lock registrations and Cost per registration from a benchmark to see the spend that plan implies before you commit.
