Considered Both Products
Adjust
Chose Adjust
Because of the below reasons:
  • Very easy to use and the integration process moved forward smoothly

Chose Adjust
Each MMP has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. What I like about Adjust is that it blocks the postbacks for invalid traffic without triggering an install which helps reduce fraud, as the fraudulent party does not get paid. Other systems count the install and then …
Chose Adjust
I would recommend AppsFlyer over Adjust, as they have a better UI, clearer solutions, and better customer success than Adjust. Regarding Singular, Adjust is lagging behind the reporting tools and analytics.
Chose Adjust
We use a lot of platforms and I would say adjust is on the higher tier- but still not the most user friendly
Chose Adjust
- Adjust Attribution is easily better than AppsFlyer. Adjust Attribution since it includes both mobile site and Desktop tracking
Chose Adjust
Kochava is the most popular one and has a better dashboard, offering many options for visualizing data. Adjust has a poor dashboard in comparison to Kochava, but offers easier integration with SDK and is cheaper. I don't think adjust shares device IDs, though. Its attribution …
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

Likelihood to Recommend
It is very well-suited for big apps that have lots of users. They scale very well and are a little bit less expensive than other alternatives. They have API connections that are suitable for internal attributions and data. I recommend other solutions in some cases, such as cohorts and UI/Agency access.

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.

Pros
  • Tracking installs on mobile app campaigns on Android or iOS, as well as UAC campaigns.
  • Tracking in-app actions on our mobile campaigns.
  • Showing more accurate numbers, since it counts pure installs from new users only without counting re-installs,
  • Counts installs only after first opening of the app, while Google and Apple count also downloads even if the app doesn't get installed or opened after.

  • 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.

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
Adjust Attribution is great on Amplitude if tagged/integrated right.
Read full review
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.

Alternatives Considered
Each MMP has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. What I like about Adjust is that it blocks the postbacks for invalid traffic without triggering an install which helps reduce fraud, as the fraudulent party does not get paid. Other systems count the install and then you need to go into the logs to subtract it but Adjust does it automatically. However, Adjust is by far the MMP with the worst UI and UX.
