Adjust by AppLovin vs. Branch

According to my experience, I was able to integrate the Adjust by AppLovin to my marketing channels so that I made better and more detailed measurements for our apps. It was working with other 3rd party and marketing platforms very well. We analyzed the customer journey better after they downloaded or deleted the app. And user information is not kept inside the app makes it very trustable.

Branch well suited: Branch links are perfecting for embedding into our email service provider (SendGrid), paid media channels (Facebook, Google, ASA), organic media (Instagram, Facebook, content marketing, referral) and push notification platform (OneSignal) to be able to evaluate actions taken from users that clicked on those branch links. No matter the data from these links, they are accurate and are easily exported to our database and CRM to determine ROI, and find weak points in our major funnels.

• 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.

• Click tracking: it integrated well with Facebook, Google, Clevertap, product, etc. to allow multiple stakeholders to use this one platform for tracking.
• Sale attribution: it has a robust fraud detection and event deduplication in place to attribute sales correctly.
• Smart URL: it offers different deeplinks to support basic user platforms, thus making the URL behavior smart and personalized for users.
• Referrals: it's a ready-made platform to easily launch your refer and earn program, with all checks of fraud detection in place.
• Social sharing: it offers various goats and cards for how a link will appear on various social media channels if shared, which is particularly helpful for marketing teams.

• UI is very confusing and needs a refresh.
• Reports are very limited and need more granularity.
• Onboarding program for agencies lacks concrete information.

• Multiplayers redirection is important feature. In our marketing process for [our] Ace Tutor app https://www.acetutor.io, we have a referral reward campaign for which we want to aggregate clicks from lower level links to higher level links. For example, we created unique Branch Links for 10 marketing interns, and each intern wanted to create Branch Links for their own 10 delegates, the clicks of the Branch Links from these delegates would be automatically rolled up to the right intern's Branch Link, so we can make payment following the aggregation paths. Currently, Branch Links do not support this kind of multiplayer or multi-layer redirections.

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.

Branch's links are the most consistent in the mobile space. They work across desktop and mobile, where AppsFlyer and Deeplink's didn't consistently perform in both places. Branch's measurement is more consistent across all customer touch points as well, which gives our marketing and growth teams the answers they need without any struggle.
