Branch vs. Moat Analytics

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.

Moat is well suited to implement into digital placements that are being served through third-party ad servers (Campaign Manager, Flashtalking, etc). It holds your publishers accountable from a viewability standpoint. If you are running high dynamic or site serving placements with 1x1 or click trackers, you aren't able to measure viewability and are at the mercy of publishers providing viewability metrics.

• 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.

• Breaks down how well each creative has done in a campaign.
• Allows us to see the progress of a campaign through its time live.
• Can easily be organized to pull the data you're looking for.
• Can export into an excel doc to then dig deeper and format and look at data outside of Moat.

• 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’ve experienced some issues exporting reports into an Excel doc and have to manually copy and paste data with can be very time-consuming.
• You have to manually wrap video tags with the MOAT pixel which can be a tedious process.
• Video and display are in separate interfaces so you have to export separately and then consolidate into one report.

It's very usable. Multiple teams in the company are using it, and it never takes more than 5 mins to explain to someone how to use this.

We have never had any issue with support response yet. In fact, they have a local POC in our city too, who routes the urgent matters to their escalation matrix.

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.

Moat gives our team more insight into how campaigns are running. They give a more detailed breakdown per creative whereas other platforms only touch upon the limited or more specific information.

• Branch had given a profound impact on the way our users share their content.
• Users now have more easy access to content created.
• Users feel more motivated in creating content because they know that it is easy to share and get their content in the eyes of the target public.

• It has given the media and analytics team more granular metrics to measure for campaigns that may have awareness objectives and no KPIs.
• Measuring view ability ensures that clients media dollars are being viewed by the targeted audience.
• Moat allows you to gain metrics that can be very insightful and how users are interacting with placements, creative, etc.
