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
Fullstory
Chose Fullstory
Microsoft Clarity - good product, free.
Chose Fullstory
I think other tools are either too heavy or complicated to implement and / or understand. Full story has a super light weight feel to the system and works magically. I implemented Mixpanel once and the entire team struggled with it before replacing it with Full Story after …
Chose Fullstory
Fullstory is really the best at session recording. They are adding new and more features to become more competitive with other web analytics tools (like Pendo, Heap, and GA). But we ultimately keep them because they make it so easy to actually see how people interact with your …
Chose Fullstory
FullStory is a unique blend of product analytics + playback sessions.
Chose Fullstory
Hotjar is better for marketing websites. Doesn't have a native mobile component. Cheaper per session but doesn't have journey mapping.
Chose Fullstory
I have not selected or evaluated other products.
Chose Fullstory
Microsoft Clarity is not on the list. This one is not even close though. 4 years ago there was not much competition unless you paid a fortune for the big survey companies. I see there are many more out there now, and may start looking now that the prices are not as affordable …
Chose Fullstory
It's a good value for money as well and it works well on websites
Chose Fullstory
Most of the tools we evaluated just didn't have the depth of analysis that we needed. Content Square looked GREAT but it was a much higher price point.
Chose Fullstory
HotJar is built for marketers, whereas FullStory is for product teams, but the tool still stacks up well against HotJar. It has feature parity and is a little more intuitive to use.
Chose Fullstory
We don't use anything else that is close to what Fullstory does. If anything Intercom would be the closest however we use them together to offer the best support possible.
Chose Fullstory
FullSory is more advanced and the implementation with other tools makes it very convenient for us.
Chose Fullstory
FullStory is very easy to use and very comprehensive compared to it's competitors
Chose Fullstory
Based on the functionality & support we've scoped for FullStory, we have much more in terms of capability and expertise than we've had in the past.

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

It was extremely useful in identifying places in our product where things weren't functioning, or where it looked like action was available to the end user but in reality, it was not and therefore caused lots of confusion. It doesn't help as much in other scenarios to see what catches a user's Eye or where they go if they leave our application as well as an actual in-person interview would help with eye-tracking software.

  • 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.

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

  • Can be a little confusing to know the exact time something happened, in local time or customer time? That's helpful for engineering to look into log files.
  • When looking for a specific session, it would be nice if you have a easier list of sessions with a little more info to choose from
  • It would be nice to be able to save flagged sessions and annotations under my profile to reference later

AppsFlyer works well with our use cases already, and is working on addressing the gaps (of trackers UI)

The metrics are hard to understand at times and inaccurate to the point of being unusable. I stopped pulling them and solely rely on Adobe Analytics for them. So far, I've only used FS to watch sessions and determine behaviors

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.
Read full review
Yes, that is correct. FullStory has a dedicated support team that is available to assist with any issues or questions. The team is known for being responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful, and they are committed to ensuring that users get the most out of the FullStory platform. They helped us a lot to implement it with our web app

I was not involved in the initial implementation, but I have found it easy to pick up and use without any guidance, so it's very user-friendly, intuitive, and not difficult to get a sense of use, though it may be more difficult to master (I am not a Fullstory master... yet!).

Fullstory is really the best at session recording. They are adding new and more features to become more competitive with other web analytics tools (like Pendo, Heap, and GA). But we ultimately keep them because they make it so easy to actually see how people interact with your site. It is one thing to see a report that says customers fall off a page, it is another thing to actually be able to watch what they do as they fall off.

Return on Investment
  • Allows us to make sure that we're meeting our advertiser's performance and optimize accordingly. Which keeps our business on going.
  • Allows us to stop spend on inventory that's not performing well to save money on those placements.
  • Allows us to identify fraudulent inventory and get our money back from our traffic sources.
Read full review
  • We reduced our payment error rate by 20% using FullStory.
  • Our product design team is able to get initial designs approved 95% of the time using FullStory data in order to explain to our stakeholders the reasoning behind decisions. We also do a before-and-after analysis, and we either net out the same with the new designs (just improved visuals) or improve the metric of whatever was designed. More often than not, we improve the metric.
  • We decreased the time to A/B testing insights by 50%.
  • We can usually visualize a production issue via FullStory within 10 minutes.
