What is Opt-in rate?

Definition, examples, and more

Definition

The percentage of users who consent to receiving marketing communications, push notifications, or tracking (such as ATT on iOS). High opt-in rates are crucial for effective lifecycle messaging and campaign attribution.

How to Calculate

Opt-In Rate = Users Who Granted Permission / Users Prompted x 100.

Example

A fitness app adds a pre-permission screen: 'Enable reminders to stay on track.' Push opt-in jumps from 42% to 68%. For ATT, explaining personalization benefits improves opt-in from 18% to 32%.

Why Opt-in rate Matters

Every opt-out cuts your lifecycle marketing reach. A meditation app found users with push enabled had 42% higher trial conversion and 25% lower churn. The opt-in rate caps your marketing effectiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I increase push opt-in?

Show a pre-permission screen explaining benefits before the system prompt. Time it after value demonstration. Use specific language about what users will receive.

What is a good ATT opt-in rate?

Average is 25-35%. Well-optimized apps reach 35-45%. Always explain why tracking helps the user before showing the prompt.

Does timing affect opt-in?

Dramatically. First screen: 35-45%. After first core action: 55-70% because users now understand why reminders matter.
