How to use capping and pacing
Capping and pacing settings give you more control over your user experience while finding the right balance between ads, retention, and revenue. Capping limits the number of ads you serve, and pacing limits the time interval between ads.
LevelPlay gives you the ability to set your app’s capping and pacing by ad unit, ad placement, or both. When you use both, the more restrictive settings will be applied.
By ad unit: This enables you to control the number of rewarded video and interstitial ads delivered over a user’s entire session. For example, you could test capping interstitials at 2 times per 24 hours to see if it helps your retention rate.
By placement: This helps you ensure you’re serving the optimal number of ads at each location in your app. For example, if you define a placement at app launch and apply capping settings, you can ensure that a user who opens your app several times won’t always see an ad at app launch, which creates a better user experience.
