Branch vs. Toinsh (discontinued)

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.

Most Suited:

1. Users can gain free experience as start free option is available.
2. Links are shortened quickly, I mean there is no other nonsense fill this or that, etc , i have used another product earlier which took 10-15 min to fill a form after that the link got short.
3. The generated report is well-formatted.
4. Alias name of the link is a great feature

Less suited:

1. API formats for a developer are less flexible.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Provided data of potential Users.
• Provided Data of the branded link performance.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Feature related support need to be provided like a chatbot or something.
• In pixel feature, UI looks pretty old.
• Date format should be more flexible in API not just "Y-m-d"

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.

In simple words, I can say that Toinsh is a collection of features that are offered by two different software AppsFlyer for branded links data gathering and Bitly or TinyURL for link shortening. If you have both of those use cases and do not want to purchase high-end and high-priced software you can go for Toinsh. in summary, it is "Best of both worlds but some limitations"

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Gained 10% more clicks almost every month.

• You can gather the customer engagement data in less cost
