What is App Efficiency Score?

The App Efficiency Score is a metric used to evaluate the performance of an application relative to its cost. It considers both usage data and associated expenses to determine how well an app is delivering value for its cost.

Why it Matters

App Efficiency Score allows businesses to measure the return on investment (ROI) for their software tools. A low efficiency score indicates that an app may not be worth the cost, while a high efficiency score suggests that the app is providing significant value relative to its cost. This helps businesses prioritize high–value tools and identify areas for cost reduction or reallocation.
