Considered Both Products
AppsFlyer
Chose AppsFlyer
We actually did an integration with Kochava. Our integration was Server To Server. It did not work out - we never got the right attribution. It was also a challenge to verify a real end-to-end campaign with a mobile network. To be fair, this was done 3-4 years ago, and Kochava
Chose AppsFlyer
Kochava was bad. A lot of bugs at that time, and it charges for every event triggered. We used Kochava for only around 6 months and we moved to AppsFlyer.
Chose AppsFlyer
Branch is good but they have limited attribution and integrations with publishers. Also, the dashboard is not as comprehensive and requires a lot of manual work to do analysis. Kochava is much more expensive for the same type of services, hence we prefer AppsFlyer which is the …
Chose AppsFlyer
Both were entirely bad, especially Kochava. Poor CSM support and very little attention given to their clients. We use Firebase for all other in-app analytics and measuring the success rate of any given feature.
Chose AppsFlyer
We read the software was in the higher tier of all used.
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
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
The company selected AppsFlyer. I guess AppsFlyer offered the best deal.
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
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
Kochava
Chose Kochava
Kochava is good from pricing point of view when you scale up. Both are equal in terms of core features and attribution. However, UI wise AppsFlyer is better.
Chose Kochava
Honestly, Kochava is at the bottom of the haystack as an MMP, and we often only use it when it is suggested by our clients. However, if we start to see improvements we will consider using them more often. As of now, it is not competitive with the aforementioned platforms.

AppsFlyer
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.

Usability
AppsFlyer
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
AppsFlyer
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.

They have been a bit slow in responding, that's the only reason for the low rating. Otherwise, they are smart and helpful.
