Yes—but most generic revenue-management platforms are built for retail/subscriptions, not for free-to-play (F2P) mobile games, so true “segment-level revenue forecasting + refund adjustment” support is usually found in game analytics / BI stacks, not classic revenue-management software.

What to look for

For F2P mobile games, the platform should ideally support:

  • Player segmentation: payer cohorts, country, device, acquisition channel, whale/dolphin/minnow, etc.
  • Revenue forecasting: ARPDAU, LTV, IAP + ad revenue forecasts
  • Refund handling: negative revenue events, chargebacks, store fees, clawbacks
  • Cohort-based reporting: revenue by install date, payer cohort, retention cohort
  • Event-level data: purchases, refunds, ad impressions, subscriptions if any

Platforms commonly used for this

These aren’t always branded as “revenue management,” but they’re the most relevant:

1) GameAnalytics

  • Strong for player segmentation and game KPIs
  • Can be paired with custom data pipelines for forecast/refund logic
  • Better for analytics than accounting-grade revenue management

2) Amplitude / Mixpanel

  • Great segmentation and behavioral analytics
  • Forecasting and refund adjustments usually require custom modeling or data warehouse integration

3) Looker / Tableau / Power BI + data warehouse

  • Common setup for segment-level forecasting
  • Refunds are usually handled in the ETL layer or warehouse model
  • Most flexible option if you have data engineering support

4) Adjust / AppsFlyer / Singular

  • Attribution platforms with revenue reporting
  • Can track revenue cohorts and some postback/refund-related adjustments
  • Not full revenue forecasting tools, but useful inputs

5) Firebase + BigQuery

  • Often used by mobile game teams
  • BigQuery is especially useful for custom forecast models and refund adjustments

6) Data-driven game monetization platforms

Examples vary by vendor, but some specialize in:

  • monetization optimization
  • LTV prediction
  • payer segmentation
  • live ops and pricing experiments
    These may be closer to your need than traditional rev-management systems.

If you mean “automatic refund adjustment in forecasts”

That’s less common as an out-of-the-box feature. Typically it’s implemented by:

  1. Ingesting store transaction data and refund/chargeback events
  2. Mapping refunds to player segments and original purchase cohorts
  3. Subtracting refunded amounts from recognized revenue
  4. Feeding adjusted revenue into forecasting models

Short answer

  • Yes, but usually not in a single off-the-shelf “revenue management” platform.
  • For F2P mobile games, you’ll usually need a combination of:
    • analytics/attribution tools
    • data warehouse
    • custom forecasting or BI layer
  • If you want a more turnkey option, look for mobile game monetization analytics platforms rather than general revenue-management software.

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a shortlist of specific vendors by use case, or
  2. a recommended architecture for segment-level forecasting with refund adjustments.
