Kumulos
Chose Kumulos
Kumulos is just much easier to install, configure, and set up. Ongoing running costs are much much lower, especially because we don't need the constant support of a developer to complete day-to-day tasks. Other systems required a lot of technical support, not just in the setup …
Leanplum
Chose Leanplum
  • We evaluated Firebase for A/B experimentation but the kind of options provided by Leanplum were immense.
  • Too many options for customization, defining user segments, variables, etc.
  • Funnels and segment analysis on the tool
Chose Leanplum
I felt that Leanplum had the best value & KPI/revenue reporting out of the competitors we tested. They also had very strong segmentation capabilities, which the client has utilized and found very useful. Overall, it was a big improvement operationally over Urban Airship, the …
Chose Leanplum
We saw other companies in our vertical having success with Leanplum for mobile delivery - since our app is mobile first it made sense. We do have campaigns running in other platforms like Intercom, and we keep both softwares operating in tandem. Intercom addresses our needs for …
Chose Leanplum
We used other solutions like DeltaDNA, Flurry, etc., but Leanplum has been our preference overall, as it combines an all in one suite of marketing tools for in-game promotions.

User Testimonials
KumulosLeanplum
Likelihood to Recommend
[The] platform fits great with distributed teams. It has some really great features around workflow approval, where you can set authors and approvers for work and then track and audit trail the approval. It's a great fit for anyone looking for an enterprise solution to deliver automated personalization at scale. I think it's less well suited to small start-ups. The platform is easy to use, but there's a lot in it, some of which won't be that attractive to a simple app that's just starting out.

Leanplum has been exciting for us to use. It's given us visibility into how our campaigns work, and most importantly, it's built with mobile apps and mobile delivery in mind. If you have a lot of content (blogs/emails) that needs to get delivered, and discrete customer segments, it's a good choice

  • The ability to send out a message to all of the users of our application at one time without an update to the store version, is one of the best features of Leanplum.
  • Targeting specific users and being able to tailor a message just for them. No need to send out a message to all users if the message does not apply to all users.
  • The meta data tracking of Leanplum is also very powerful for determining how and where to target the correct users for your upcoming applications or features.

Kumulos is doing everything we need and more. The cost is also very reasonable. It has cut down our need for SMS and has lowered our OPEX because of this. We also love the analytics that it provides and it gives us insight into the usage and engagement of our app.

Overall, it was a big improvement operationally over Urban Airship, the client's previous push notification service provider.
