Top-up Frequency Insights:

Understanding the top-up habits of your customers is crucial. Cobalt users have seen a pattern of 46% of their user bases topping up once a month. Exploring these distinctions helps both our clients to identify patterns and create plans of actions based on those patterns, as well as helps us be able to tailor our services to meet each client’s diverse needs.

Preferred Platforms:

The battle of platforms reveals that mobile web reigns supreme, claiming 60% preference from Cobalt users as a whole. Additionally, we observe nuanced inclinations towards website usage on computers and native apps, providing valuable insights for platform optimization.

Customer Demographics:

Age brackets also provide an abundance of insight as to how to market to your respective audiences in the most optimal manner. Cobalt users show a strong presence in the 30-39 and 40-49 age groups, comprising around 60% of their traffic. Understanding each user base helps our clients to customize their offerings to diverse demographics.
