Considered Both Products
AppsFlyer
Chose AppsFlyer
Appsflyer is generally a more comprehensive and robust platform offering advanced analytics, detailed attribution, and strong fraud prevention features compared to its competition in the market. Also, Appsflyer is a pretty old and well-known name in the market.
Chose AppsFlyer
To summarize, AppsFlyer has better end-to-end data processing and performance tracking. It also provides us with better integration for clients and their agencies for its use. We also found the possibility to work with SKAN attribution and retargeting campaigns which were not …
Chose AppsFlyer
i have not used any other platforms
Chose AppsFlyer
AppsFlyer places attribution as its #1 priority vs. a secondary priority for other companies such as Branch. The pricing structure of AppsFlyer is also very reasonable compared with other attribution solutions. Additionally, AppsFlyer's global footprint allowed us to launch …
Chose AppsFlyer
We preferred finding a third party that integrated with both Adobe Analytics and Google Analytics to provide flexibility in tools we chose to tracking our mobile apps. AppsFlyer also had the most affordable and transparent pricing than others we evaluated.
Chose AppsFlyer
AppsFlyer is by far the best one because of ease of use. They have great cost aggregation, are cheap to use, and have strong technical expertise and a good customer success team. Their solution is sophisticated enough, has great reporting views, and is a sound, technically …
Chose AppsFlyer
It was priced well with great support so it was a no brainer for us to go with AppsfFyer. Also, Appsflyer was integrated with everyone we wanted to use where the competition was not. This was the major deciding factor and also the price point is very startup-friendly for indie …
Chose AppsFlyer
AppsFlyer has a very good user interface, and very easy to set up.
Chose AppsFlyer
We read the software was in the higher tier of all used.
Chose AppsFlyer
AppsFlyer has the best fraud identifications against other attribution platforms out there. The dashboard layouts are easily one of the easiest ones to use.
Chose AppsFlyer
Adjust is the best, followed by AppsFlyer. The rest are a joke and should be ashamed of themselves for putting out products that don't give marketers the insights they need to facilitate growth or identify fraud.
Chose AppsFlyer
App Annie, Apptopia and Kochava
Chose AppsFlyer
The company selected AppsFlyer. I guess AppsFlyer offered the best deal.
Chose AppsFlyer
It's a one-stop solution for all our problems. Now we can focus on growing our apps and business. We are able to scale our business by managing our team bandwidth. The advance features like real-time data, and full-featured raw data reports are very helpful and time-saving. It …
Chose AppsFlyer
Again, AppsFlyer has an edge over others because of its 1. easy to use interface 2. brilliantly researched modules 3. the kind of support they provide in term of knowledge base records and human support both 4. innovations and new module launches they come up with to keep you …
Chose AppsFlyer
I personally recommend AppsFlyer over the other tracking software because it's easy to use and we can get all necessary details at one click. And especially the Protect360 feature is the best fraud tracking module that I have ever seen.
Chose AppsFlyer
AF is better than Adjust for the features, the partner integration, the usability, the UI of the platform.
Chose AppsFlyer
In my previous company I tested both Adjust and Branch, but always came back to AppsFlyer. It's easy to use, great support, very visual (which I prefer over Adjust and such) and the various tools such as 360 and audiences that are top notch.
Chose AppsFlyer
For the price and the usability.
Chose AppsFlyer
For mobile attribution, Appsflyer is the most recommended, as it provides easy integration to many advertisers and media partners.
Chose AppsFlyer
In my use, the client decided to use it (I'm agnostic), but local support and complete range of tools could be decision maker.
Chose AppsFlyer
- Better UI
- Easier Integration
- Better Reporting
Apptopia
Chose Apptopia
Apptopia has a much deeper iOS database than Datanyze, however Datanyze seemed to have more accurate SDK information in Android. Apptopia provided much more data on mobile traffic, revenue #'s, and demographics than Datanyze. These features are very appealing to an advertising …
Chose Apptopia
Overall it stacked up poorly against other competitors. The inaccurate info, limited coverage on apps and slow UI made it an unpleasant experience. I do not recommend using this program and think there are better solutions out there. The customer support also was not great.
Chose Apptopia
We initially went to Datanyze for email hunting and list building. As we learned more about the feature they offer we realized their data was not as accurate as we needed. During our evaluation of the product there were lots of promises of Beta features or things in the future …

Appsflyer is excellent for running numerous campaigns across many clients and keeping track of real-time performance. Attribution is top-notch and the platform is up to date with the innovations in the area while keeping its effective & trustworthy information. Exporting reports could be a bit more friendly but all in all, a truly great MMP.

At first the platform was great although after a while we noticed lots of inconsistencies when we compared with other platforms and confirmed when speaking with publishers. The coverage for iOS was also not great. Overall the coverage was not sufficient. The UI was beautiful looking although if it's not accurate it is pointless.

Pros
  • Appsflyer does deep linking well. It was reliable and works better than any past partner we've used. We no longer invest time and resources in fielding internal flags about broken links.
  • Appsflyer does particularly well at telling the story on industry landscape, identifying areas of opportunity for our brand to grow based on the depth and breadth of their experience in mobile.
  • The Appsflyer team offers best in class customer service. The account managers are knowledgeable, responsive, bright, invested and a pleasure to work with.

  • Apptopia not only allows you to see what technologies are being used in an app, but also when an technology is removed, inactive or installed.
  • You can create alerts to help you stay on top of changes in the market, SDK, revenue, user base and more.
  • The benefits of working with an SMB company is you get their full attention at any point in the customer lifecycle. Early on to our usage of Apptopia we had the Chief Product Officer getting on calls and video shares with us to hear our feedback, ask for suggestions and to showcase new/upcoming features. They have excellent customer support and are constantly updating and adding to their already amazing product.
  • The employees that work there are very receptive and helpful as well. I was reviewing another tool for my company to use and noticed one of their managers had left a review about the given tool. I personally reached out to her asking for her opinion and feedback before buying and she responded within a day.

Usability
The UI can be used by anyone with a little understanding of the business. However, may features are somehow hidden and the UI is a bit confusing for beginners. It's not so easy to know where each feature is. It is also not easy to figure out how certain values are calculated.

Support Rating
Overall support is good, fast to respond and helps us with both tool related queries as well as publisher related escalations when it comes to fraud or attribution, as they step in and help justify on our behalf. They have a very small team though in India, it's time for them to scale up the team probably and assign exclusive support folks to large clients.

We initially went to Datanyze for email hunting and list building. As we learned more about the feature they offer we realized their data was not as accurate as we needed. During our evaluation of the product there were lots of promises of Beta features or things in the future and not a ton of focus or confidence in what they offered currently. We did leverage and benefit from Datanyze for a decent amount of time, but when we evaluated a side by side comparison, Apptopia came out on top. Datanyze is a little different where they can pull lists of contacts, but at the end of the day we saw App data more important than those lists

  • Allows us to stop spend on inventory that's not performing well to save money on those placements.
