Chose Google AdMob
AppLovin MAX has support and a website and ad demo/trial system that is a lot easier to understand and use.
Chose Google AdMob
Google AdMob provides more features and additional tools for assessments than other tools available in the market. Its automated tools make it extraordinary to handle. As it facilitates getting paid for adding ads to my app without any complications, I am so impressed with it.
Chose Google AdMob
No special reason for choosing Google AdMob. Out point is easy to gain appropriate knowledge from youtube.com and people who work with us. We won't have another similar application so far. However, we feel it works well and makes us happy because of easy function and …
Chose Google AdMob
It ensures that ads meet quality standards and that ads are individually screened for ad fraud and malware issues.
Chose Google AdMob
I like Google AdMob because it does payout on time and even though the final payout is sometimes less than promised it is better than Apple iAd because the latter takes a longer time to payout.
Chose Google AdMob
Facebook Audience stacked well against AdMob however this year due to recent changes introduced in Apple 14 and the fact that Facebook Audience has become bidding only platform - AdMob had succeeded to outcompete Facebook Audience and is better. Admob provides easier …
Chose Google AdMob
We have used a few other ad networks, but they are not suited to our requirements. Admob has the best fill rate for Indian apps, that others lack. For our few apps that target USA and European customers, we use Mobclix. Admob has also fewer configurable thresholds for payments. …

Used other dashboards like Steamspy or SteamDB for insights into the PC gaming market.

App Annie does not offer so many free webinars to potential clients as Apptopia. However, they are clearly the market leader, and their business proposition is very strong, and that is why I choose them over their competitors. Apptopia does more marketing and offers free …
Chose Sensor Tower
When comparing the free versions of App Annie and AppFollow, App Annie falls short. Not only is AppFollow more intuitive, it provides better data export integrations such as Slack (view and respond to reviews real-time), Google Analytics, multiple CRMs, etc. App Annie allows …
Chose Sensor Tower
We use Google 360 and are able to do a much deeper dive into the activity we see on our apps. I think App Annie is a great starting point product, but for more in depth analytics, something like a Google 360 or Adobe might be better.
Chose Sensor Tower
There aren't really any products out there that measure up to App Annie, because it does the job really well, and as far as I know, no other platform out there will allow me to import my apps and determine the daily analytics in such a unique and informative way.

Google AdMob is the best choice in my opinion for any developer or company looking for a reliable way to monetize their app traffic and generate revenue from relevant ads displayed inside their mobile app, and it can be easily integrated into any IOS or Android App.

I think that App Annie will be handy for the companies that provide service in multiple countries - so they have to deal with local competitors research and track the performance of the app (by the position and by the reviews) in different stores. I think that for a one-country app, many of the features will be less relevant. At the same time, App Annie offers custom plans, so I see how the user experience can be different.

Well the fact that the freemium features are all that I need right now, I will most definitely continue to use it on a daily basis. I might upgrade to the pro version in the future if I need more data than what I am getting now. But for now it works great for what I need.

I have not had to contact support a lot of times. The few times I did, I got correct and lengthy responses, but they took some time to answer. Their product is very complete, so unless you have a specific question, you will probably not need to contact support at any time.

Return on Investment
  • Before I got into it my other friends told me there are way better Ad providers. But being a Google fan I still signed up.
  • Now I remember writing to AdMob, requesting them to give me earning rates... But they never replied. So zero return on investment. They just keep you guessing.

  • App Annie has had neither a positive nor negative impact on our ROI or business objectives. Our team currently uses their free, very limited plan for data discrepancy with our main ASO tool. Otherwise, we have connected our apps and let the data flow in. We go in the account about once every 2-3 months.
  • With App Annie's data we have solidified that our other paid ASO tool we use has accurate data and that we will continue to pay for that tool. So in that regards, App Annie's provided us with a confirmation in our competitor ASO tool purchase decision.
