Considered Both Products
Localytics
Chose Localytics
We have not used other products but are going to start exploring making a switch to a new platform.
Chose Localytics
Also used Adobe Marketing Suite for App Measurement. This was useful because it can be correlated with on site usage. But it required a more depth implementation and is more expensive.
Swrve
Chose Swrve
Localytics' Analytics interface was more simple to use, but we chose Swrve primarily for the messaging capabilities and the analytics were a bonus. We found Swrve's messaging to be far superior to Localytics and really benefitted from the Eloqua integration so that we could …
Chose Swrve
There's some overlap with other products, but Swrve's segmentation and push management are its key differentiators.

User Testimonials
LocalyticsSwrve
Likelihood to Recommend
It is a great product for a smaller team to integrate into their app to start getting some in-depth analytics. The web interface is a great analytics tool without the need for writing SQL. Lack of Unity support makes it a lesser choice for mobile gaming. Like many third-party products, once data needs become substantial, the business will likely outgrow Localytics and will move towards an in-house solution.

If you're looking for mobile segmentation, CRM, multivariate testing, then Swrve is the way to go. It's not a great analytics platform, but it's improving on that front.

Cons
  • The biggest thing I would like to see with Localytics is the capability for more correlations. The limited amount of correlations available does restrict the type of analyses that could be done with the data.
  • An easier interface to move data into Microsoft Excel would be very useful, rather than creating annoying workarounds.
  • More/better automatically scheduled reporting, as well as an Excel plug-in to access the data rather than being restricted to the Localytics interface.

  • Ability to customize the main dashboard

Likelihood to Renew
There is a lot of competition. I would renew if there isn't anything more exceptional that would justify the re-coding and implementation load costs

Support Rating
It would take several weeks to hear back from the billing team. It took 3 months to resolve an invoice last year. Their technical support is very responsive. I would typically get a response in under 24 hrs.
