    Singular
    Singular is perfect for companies that have limited BI developer resources. If you work with more than a few media partners, Singular aggregates all pre-install metrics and automatically connects it to your BI data / MMP provider. This use is perfect for executives/directors that want to have a quick snapshot of their marketing spend. Singular also works well for media buyers that want to export Singular report as a base for creating optimization reports.

    Very well suited for those getting started with SMS campaigns. It was easy for everyone on our team to pick up and get going without a lot of training. If you have mobile number lists in the hundreds of thousands I can see how it would be tough to manage with the lists, keywords, etc. I could be wrong as we are not in that space but that would be my assumption.

    Cons
    Singular
    • Providing a clear solution to cross-device attribution and measurement: no vendor does this well currently.
    • Ability to toggle advanced attribution models: first-last touch, time decay, etc.
    • Comprehensive deep linking solution (similar to Branch).

    • Easy to find resources for short codes
    • The current automation is nice for beginners but it's not terribly sophisticated for experienced users
    • Minimal integrations to this point but I'm sure more are on the way

    Very easy to use. Intuitive website that our entire team has been able to quickly pick up. In my opinion it is the most user friendly interface of all the software we did demos with.

    Support Rating
    Singular
    When we report about a bug or a problem the support usually responds quickly and try to provide a solution/fix in a timely manner. I wish that they had a monitoring tool to notify me about bugs before I spot them myself.

    AppsFlyer is the top of mind MMP, while Singular would be my second choice with Adjust. AppsFlyer has a great UX and customer support. While Adjust is still lagging a little bit behind.

    We felt SlickText was the most user friendly, budget friendly, and we liked the fact that they didn't balk at the fact we wanted to go month to month to start so we didn't end up in a long term commitment right out of the gate.

    SlickText
    • We are receiving a click through rate anywhere between 12-20% on our renewal reminder texts
    • Those people who click have a conversion rate of around 50% which is the best of any of the campaigns we run
    • One negative could be if we start to use the tool for promotional texts then there may be a negative impact on the member experience. Need to use it in moderation
