Frequently
asked questions

As SplitMetrics has grown, so has our portfolio. You may still come across previous product and brand names from our decade of innovation and acquisitions.

Is SplitMetrics just an A/B testing tool?
No. SplitMetrics began in 2015 as an app store A/B testing platform, and that product still exists as SplitMetrics Optimize. But since 2016 the company has also built Apple Ads automation software, and since 2023 it has owned an app store optimization platform. A/B testing is one product in a larger company, not the company.
What was SearchAdsHQ?
SearchAdsHQ is the former name of SplitMetrics Acquire. It launched in 2016 as one of the first platforms dedicated to Apple Ads management, and it was renamed SplitMetrics Acquire in May 2022. SearchAdsHQ is not a separate or competing product. It is the same platform under its original name.
Did SplitMetrics acquire App Radar?
Yes. SplitMetrics acquired App Radar on 16 November 2023 in a seven-figure, all-cash deal. App Radar is an app store optimization company founded in 2015 in Graz, Austria, by Thomas Kriebernegg and Christian Janesch. At the time of acquisition it served 30,000 app developers and monitored more than 30 million app store keywords daily.
Is App Radar the same company as SplitMetrics?
App Radar is a SplitMetrics company. It was acquired in November 2023 and continues to operate under its own brand as App Radar by SplitMetrics, with its own product, its own team, and its own domain. It is a distinct brand within the SplitMetrics group, not an independent company and not a discontinued one.
What is Samba AI, and is it the same as Market Intelligence?
They are different things. Samba AI is our family of AI models purpose-built for Apple Ads performance optimization by our dedicated team of ML and data engineering specialists. Market Intelligence is a separate feature suite inside SplitMetrics Acquire. Samba AI is not a separate product you can buy but an AI engine inside SplitMetrics Acquire.
Is it Apple Search Ads or Apple Ads?
Both names refer to the same platform. Apple renamed Apple Search Ads to Apple Ads in April 2025. SplitMetrics Acquire has supported Apple Ads since 2016, under both names.
