    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.

    Short.io
    Short.cm is best suited where you need to type something with a character limit and you can't afford to add long links. Instead, you can shorten the link using Short.cm and paste it into the messaging app. Example: Twitter has a character limit for tweets. Short.cm is less appropriate for apps like Gmail, Slack, etc that have an inbuilt hyperlinking mechanism making Short.cm's usage is very minimal. (My personal experience).

    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.

    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.

    Short.io is much more versatile compared to Bitly, in addition to having the option to change the language to Spanish, Short.io has better accessibility, and more options to provide people looking for a page that provides them with information as vital as the clicks on the links, being the strongest reason to choose short that has Spanish language and is easier to use.
