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 …

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
CleverTap
Chose CleverTap
Mo Engage is cost-effective, charges less price and delivery is awesome, also that is quite [a] user friendly compared to the current clever tap UI and UX.
Chose CleverTap
Integration is easier with CleverTap. All the features are in one product, doesn't require to buy add ons for Segmentation and analytics Few of the campaign features are quite advanced Value for Money if used rightly.
Chose CleverTap
CleverTap is better than WebEngage and MoEngage when it comes to mobile marketing -- it also has a much more advanced set of analytics and segmentation tools that actually work, unlike other tools that do not have such powerful analytics in place. Also, it offers insights and …
Chose CleverTap
Edit: Clevertap added attribution tools to its features, making it possible to track your user acquisition sources.
CleverTap is as complete as Localytics. It provides us good segmentation, analysis and engagement tools for a good competitive price. T̶h̶e̶ ̶o̶n̶l̶y̶ …
Chose CleverTap
Intercom did the messaging part to users within our app very well. However, its pricing is prohibitive for a B2B company and the USP is more chat focussed. However, it may work for some high-value B2B scenarios. At our scale, we need something much more in-depth and affordable.

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.

[In my opinion] It's [CleverTap] not appropriate for starter businesses. It's appropriate for businesses with very strong in-house tech teams to maneuver challenges on their own because after deep integration one can't expect Clevertap Support to be much helpful [from my experience]. It is good in the sense that you need one tool for all-around communications and analytics. However, they have moved away from the events container system, but those still on the events container are neither automatically educated nor transitioned into their new tiers of pricing. I find this a lack of effort of the sales team. So, you are on your own after the implementation.

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.

  • Helping us find out which users did a certain activity and in which order. The time gap between those activities is also an important metric. This works great with Clevertap because our backend pushes every relevant event with a time stamp to CleverTap so we do not have to maintain events or build the engine to analyze every small action the user took.
  • Helps us find out which actions our best users take right before they convert. Given the e-commerce like domain we are in, we end up giving a lot of information to our users. Knowing which of these convert what kind of users is very useful.
  • Helps us setup super focussed campaigns (pop-up, emails etc) to users who would be interested in a certain kind of activity. Our yield per message sent is significantly more when targeting is right.

Cons
  • Supports download of only 200K rows of raw data for in-app events
  • Supports download of raw data of in-app events for only 30 days duration max and for the last 90 days
  • Custom reports are limited.
  • Need to download raw data for deeper analysis
  • Cannot look into parameter level events without raw reports

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.
