Comparing Appfigures to the Google Developer Console

Appfigures imports data directly from your Google Play developer console, so your downloads and revenue numbers are accurate. For importing purposes, we use the exportable reports through Download reports > Statistics > By Country/Region.

Google's dashboard allows for an easy comparison of data between Appfigures and Google without having to export the reports.

Each metric from Google is pulled from a similar but slightly different route, outlined below.
