Flurry Analytics (discontinued) vs. Google AdMob

I would encourage a colleague to use Flurry Analytics. Incorporating Flurry Analytics in an app is a simple and straightforward task, and will take the average app developer less than 15 minutes to understand and apply. This amount of time is nothing in the grand scheme of the development of the app, and the return on time invested to incorporate it is great. New tracking features can be added at any time.

Google AdMob is the best choice in my opinion for any developer or company looking for a reliable way to monetize their app traffic and generate revenue from relevant ads displayed inside their mobile app, and it can be easily integrated into any IOS or Android App.

• Flurry can track in-depth metrics across your app. This allows us to see every type of interaction our app users are performing.

• Provides a complete ad verification system.
• Integration with Google Analytics.
• Transmission customization
• Ad network mediation is a great feature to manage many ad networks at the same time.

• There is no option to choose a timezone which will allow me to compare their data over other systems in other time zones.
• Could be nice to have more reporting screening options.

• Admob has very low prices for impressions or clicks on Android.
• Admob has very low prices for impressions or clicks in many countries including Europe.
• Admob is still having certain security issues: allowing sensitive ads on G rated apps.
• Admob allows multiple-choice banners on G-rated apps while this is not allowed by policy.

Good user acquisition tracking
Sdk integration is super easy for both iOS and Android
Need it
Need to support more customized dashboards / reporting (example - set up a dashboard specifically to see users engaging with a new feature recently launched)

hard to use, no support

For my uses, Flurry is free which makes it way more attractive than the other platforms even on a very big number of monthly events. It also have set reports which are exactly the reports that a marketing person needs without any need of spending a developer time to create them for you, or holding an in-house BI person that works on creating reports.

No special reason for choosing Google AdMob. Out point is easy to gain appropriate knowledge from youtube.com and people who work with us. We won't have another similar application so far. However, we feel it works well and makes us happy because of easy function and experience. So I recommend this if we need to apply this for our company activity.

• Tracking the number of times a user taps a help button can help to improve the app design. Perhaps the app is not as intuitive as first thought, and improvements based upon where in the help feature a user taps will lead to improvements in the app design to make it more intuitive.
• Tracking the number of times certain app features are used, or the amount of time spent within a given activity in the app can help to streamline an app - improve upon features that are used more frequently while eliminating less popular activities.
• Tracking time spent within an app can give an idea as to how popular the app is.

• Before I got into it my other friends told me there are way better Ad providers. But being a Google fan I still signed up.
• Now I remember writing to AdMob, requesting them to give me earning rates... But they never replied. So zero return on investment. They just keep you guessing.
