On top of that, it helps determine the ROI of marketing campaigns with easy digital integrations for Facebook, Google, and other display networks.

  • Easy setup: not too many lines of code for our developers.
  • Ads integration: easy 1 to 2 step integration for digital ad networks.
  • Dynamic Links are kind of ugly. They're super in-depth to set up and work fantastically, it's just that unlike Branch or Firebase AppsFlyer links are long, not customized, and ugly. I always need to hide them in a bit.ly which is a pain.
  • No automatic dynamic links -- we couldn't use it to share inside the app and measure the results of a referring a friend campaign.
To be relatively honest, AppsFlyer is a great service and an excellent platform. It's robust, and we still haven't gone insanely deep into some of its functionality. If it wasn't for using Appsee as our UI/UX and mobile app analytics platform, we would have gone with a free option, like Branch.io, but unfortunately, they didn't integrate well with Appsee. So out of the companies that did, AppsFlyer was the best and cheapest, as it's pay by install is a small cent amount.
If you for some reason can't use a free platform like Branch or Firebase, then AppsFlyer is probably your best choice for just attribution.

AppsFlyer has been part of the decision making in choosing and selecting install campaign partner. AppsFlyer is mainly used in the Internet Marketing team. AppsFlyer has the capability to provide raw data, which we can use to detect invalid install. Out there, there are lots of fraud installs, and naive marketers are charged for this.
  • Ability to provide raw data upon installation.
  • Customized funnel.
  • A vast variety of integrated partners.
  • Making a customized chart.
AppsFlyer has been our greatest source of data to identify invalid installs. However, it will need the users to have a good skill of data analysis in order to extract meaningful insights into budgeting and marketing optimization. But apart from that, just for basic data, AppsFlyer is pretty enough to evaluate the performance of mobile app install marketing channel.

  • OneLink is a great feature for deeplinking, I don't think any of AppsFlyer competitors offer anything similar
  • Attribution data is SUPER accurate
  • Amazing integrations and cross-platform support
  • Kind of expensive, especially for SMBs
  • I’m not a huge fan of the dashboard UI and the mobile app is still a little buggy, but it keeps improving with every version, which is great.
I would recommend this tool to any bigger company with a mobile app and bigger budget. This tool is extremely helpful when you're running multiple user acquisition campaigns and would like to better understand which channel works best, and why. In other words, this is great for mobile marketing initiatives and optimizations.

If you are doing marketing for apps and doing real-time bidding/price adjustments, then, AppsFlyer's integration will help you double the value (than if you did no integration - basically ran a cost-per-click campaign). If you wanted to do funnel analysis of how your users navigate your product, then use something else - like Flurry Analytics.

AppsFlyer Review: "Best SDK solution"

In my department we use Appsflyer in order to measure download campaigns.
  • Best SDK technology
  • A lot of suppliers integrated
  • Many KPI measurables
  • Is not possible to add adserving tracking (sizmek or dcm impression pixel or click command)
It's appropriate in all campaigns where you want to measure downloads and events inside the app, and you will run the campaign in some networks. It's less appropriate in campaigns where you won't measure downloads, or you have a low budget because the integration of the SDK is not cheap.
