What is Layers?

Layers is a layer separation tool. Layers connects social, trend, ad, App Store, SDK and GitHub signals into one growth loop for app teams. It turns organic outliers into paid tests and creator briefs, then traces results back to installs, trials and revenue through a dedicated set of marketing agents.

Layers is a growth platform for app teams that treats marketing as a loop rather than a set of disconnected channels. It pulls signals from social accounts, trend research, ad accounts, App Store Connect, the Layers SDK and GitHub, then routes what it learns back into content briefs, paid spend and store page changes. The premise is simple: an organic post that beats its own baseline becomes a test, a test that repeats becomes a paid campaign and a creator brief, and the loop closes when the SDK reports which hook actually produced installs, trials and revenue. Seven connectors form the backbone. Social accounts are scored against each account's own baseline instead of a global average, so an outlier stands out even on a small following. Trend research surfaces what is climbing in a category before it peaks. Ad accounts are read per creative rather than per campaign, which exposes fatigue at the asset level. App Store Connect data breaks conversion down by traffic source and search term. The Layers SDK tracks what happens after the tap (install, first session, activation), and GitHub reads commits and releases so launches stay in step with the product. A wider set of integrations covers RevenueCat, Stripe, PostHog, Google Ads, Apple Search Ads, Google Play, Amplitude, Segment, Slack, ChatGPT Ads and Sideshift UGC. The product is organised around named agents. Content Agent turns one proven hook into a month of material. Strategy Agent decides what to make before anything is produced. Ads Agent pushes budget behind what already works. Social Agent posts, measures and retests. ASO Agent aligns the store page with the promise the content made, and Measurement Agent traces a post through to revenue. This is aimed at small product and growth teams at app companies, especially studios without a dedicated analyst. Onboarding starts with a single link: a website, an App Store page or a repository. Teams that already run separate social, paid and ASO tools will find the value here in the shared feedback path between them.

How do you use Layers?

  1. 1Start with a single link
    Enter your website, App Store listing or repository. Layers reads it and builds an initial picture of the product and its category before you connect anything else.
    Layers — Start with a single link
  2. 2Connect your signal sources
    Link social accounts, ad accounts, App Store Connect and GitHub so the platform can benchmark performance and spot outliers across channels. Each connection adds a new input to the loop.
  3. 3Install the Layers SDK
    Add the SDK package to your app and call the tracking method on key events such as trial starts, passing along properties like plan and source so installs can be attributed.
  4. 4Read the first results
    Once data arrives, review posts that beat their account baseline, trends climbing in your category and creative fatigue inside ad accounts. These become the candidates for the next test.

  5. 5Dispatch the agents
    Hand the strongest hooks to Content Agent for volume, Ads Agent for budget shifts and ASO Agent for store page updates, then let Social Agent post and retest on a schedule.

  6. 6Measure against revenue
    Use the measurement layer to trace a post or creative through to installs, trials and revenue, then feed the winning pattern back into the next brief.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Closes the loop between organic content, paid spend and store page changes instead of leaving each channel isolatedAI
  • Scores posts against each account's own baseline, which is fairer to smaller accounts than global averagesAI
  • Aggregate SDK and App Store data shows which hook actually produced installs and trials, not just impressionsAI
  • Named agents cover content, strategy, ads, social, ASO, listening, measurement and research in one placeAI
  • Onboarding starts from a single URL for a website, App Store page or repositoryAI

Cons

  • Value depends on connecting many sources; with only one or two integrations the loop reads as a standard scheduler plus dashboardAI
  • The Layers SDK must be installed in the app before activation and revenue attribution work at allAI
  • Built for app businesses, so web-only SaaS or service companies lose much of the App Store and install logicAI
  • No public pricing figures on the homepage, which makes budgeting hard before a sales conversationAI
  • Heavy emphasis on short-form social and paid channels; teams outside that motion get less from itAI
