Apptopia vs. Firebase Crashlytics

If your business revolves around technology in apps, revenue generated by certain apps that are industry specific, Apptopia is the way to go. You can see data like DAU, MAU, ARPU, market leaders, SDKs, geographics, analytics. Literally anything you would want to know about mobile apps or the market and technology around them, you can get with Apptopia.

Crashlytics is almost a defacto standard in the Android world for tracking crashes in the field. I've used it on the last 4 Android projects I've been on. It's not as helpful on iOS' stacktraces but I'm not sure if anything would be better because iOS stack traces are from ObjC code which is not as useful as Java stacktraces.

• Can get the device detail an actual state like RAM, Storage, Display Size, etc.
• Can get the class name and line number where crash occur.
• Its work in realtime so we can reduce the time of issue finding and resolution.

• Some of the data seemed inconsistent when we checked with existing partners.
• The lack of prospecting tool. Apptopia did not provide detailed contact info for companies.
• Apptopia provided revenue data for mobile apps, but we found there was inconsistency with that as well.

Incentivized

• Sometimes UI of Firebase Crashlytics is quit difficult to understand for new users.
• There can be a proper discretion for all the features that is offered.
• There can be api crash report also.

Because its fulfilling our basic and necessary requirements that can be an only and enough reason to renew the subscription.

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

As mentioned previously, the only realistic competitor to Crashlytics is Instabug (backed by Y Combinator in the W16 class). While Crashlytics is focused on actual crashes, Instabug's main innovation is in collecting feedback from users for non-crash bugs. While non-crash bugs are a substantial category of bugs, Instabug's pricing is quite steep. As soon as you go beyond the most basic features your monthly bill spikes to $124 - $499 per month, whereas Crashlytics is 100% free (for all usage levels and all enterprise features). Based on this, I've never tried Instabug because the ROI just wasn't there.
