It is quite suited for all the SMS, emails, and other in-game campaigns, but wherein the delivery rate I personally feel it is less, and it has [a] limitation on 5 pins for the day for 1 user, it should be unlimited.

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.

Pros
CleverTap
  • User communication: it provides a single dashboard to help us reach out to our users via email, push, web push, SMS, in-app and now even WhatsApp. Not just that, we can set up various types of targeting, such as one-time, recurring, date/time based, etc.
  • Analytics: it offers various views and cuts to analyze the user data, be it in the form of trends, funnels, recency-frequency, user cohorts and segments, etc.
  • Tracking: it helps us track the impact of various paid and organic marketing channels, through which we can adjust spends and focus on the channels that make an impact.

Cons
CleverTap
  • Customer service isn't that great [from my experience], most of the time the team is puzzled or will leave the client puzzled.
  • Price is very high with respect to the features available. MAU based pricing with a flawed sense of MAU calculation.
  • The way they calculate MAU is morally wrong. If a customer opens my email that I am sending via AWS, and they don't even come on my app, how can you consider them as active user?

  • AdMob bans people unnecessarily.
  • Earnings is significantly less if you use it as a small business owner.
  • Onboarding needs some major work in my opinion.

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.

This kind of careful attention is really appreciated.

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 experience. So I recommend this if we need to apply this for our company activity.
