Exceptional Technical Support: Many users have praised Branch.io's technical support, with multiple reviewers stating that they found the team to be exceptional in terms of timeliness and technical ability. The support team is highly responsive, always providing a reply within 24 hours, and they are able to solve problems effectively and efficiently in just one response.

Superior Attribution Analytics: Several reviewers compared Branch.io's attribution analytics to its competitor Appsflyer and found Branch.io to be superior in terms of accuracy and reliability. They mentioned that Appsflyer had multiple data errors in fraud detection and attribution, while Branch.io accurately reported all their channels and links. This demonstrates the high quality of Branch.io's attribution analytics.

Affordable Pricing: Many users appreciate the affordability and flexibility of Branch.io's pricing. As they gain more users, it becomes a no-brainer for them to pay for the low cost of the service. This highlights the value that users find in Branch.io's pricing structure.

Limited analytics: Some users have mentioned that the dashboard of Branch lacks features and has limited analytics, making it difficult for them to get a comprehensive view of their data and make informed decisions.

Difficulty in implementation: According to some users, newcomers may find it challenging to implement Branch correctly due to attributes like UserID and BranchID leading to ambiguity. This can result in confusion and potential errors during the setup process.

Issues on iOS: Several users have reported experiencing issues with Branch on iOS. These issues could include compatibility problems or functionality limitations, which affect the overall user experience on Apple devices.

Users commonly recommend Branch for small-scale app companies that need good attribution but do not have adequate resources. They suggest trying out Branch to see if it suits their needs, regardless of the number of users. Branch is considered a convenient and reasonable attribution platform, recommended for app marketing and app analytics, as well as for basic attribution and analytics of marketing campaigns. It is also recognized as a great mobile app attribution tool and a powerful tool for growing a new mobile app. Users believe that defining your use case before using Branch is important. Additionally, Branch is praised for its incredible data capabilities and being a cost-effective mobile measurement partner.

However, users feel that Branch could improve on the referral side and dashboard accessibility, as well as export to third-party systems. Despite these suggestions for improvement, users recommend Branch for distributing marketing links and unifying marketing attribution. They also suggest reading the SDK documentation for all platforms when considering Branch and using Branch Links for app development. Lastly, users highlight the ability of Branch to create in-app interstitials and deeplink them as a valuable feature.

Branch is the gold standard linking platform - other services like AppsFlyer or bit.ly aren't able to deliver the consistency Branch does. It is a developer platform as well, so your engineering team will be able to sink its teeth into many different use cases without worrying about how to "hack" it. I believe Branch can continue to become a simpler tool going forward, but the fact that it has a free tier and seeks to fit into YOUR tech stack makes it the easy choice

It is a very good MMP, but not as known as AppsFlyer or Singular. They have a very good support and agency access. The measurement is ok, and it works fine. It could improve on some other aspects such as the dashboard reporting. The only thing is that is not as known as other parters such as AppsFlyer

It has a lot of capabilities that can help with marketing, tracking, and reviewing crucial company data. It's quick and simple to use. It's also simple to understand for marketing professionals. On the downside, it could offer a mobile app to analyze the information when not on the computer; nevertheless, super useful.

For any apps that have content to be shared between users, Branch is a tool that I'll recommend always.For apps that are already looking to be built on the PWA side of the things, I think Branch will overcomplicate some things. This is where Branch can simplify things and improve the experience with custom libraries and plugins for the most popular Frameworks and Routing libraries out there.

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.

Mainly, the analytics that Branch provides about my links. It's really useful to keep track of, in almost real-time, what is happening with everything my business is sharing online. This helps my team to identify points of attention that we can improve and also things that are giving us a good return.

Branch is well suited when you need to deep link your content without being worried that the link will break and not work on other platforms. On the other hand if you are going to develop your own tech to do this it will take a lot of time and engineering. Branch is less appropriate when you are not targeting platforms and developing your app on only one platform.

Branch is ideal as a lightweight low cost solution to help analyse and optimise user acquisition strategies where the aim is to track attributions and manage deep linking. It is not as suitable for apps with requirements for a custom event and analytics since it will need partnering with additional analytics rather than being built as with some of the other attribution providers.

Referrals by Branch is another nice feature where one can see the influencers' as well as the referred user's count. Cross-channel analytics is very useful for tracking campaigns.

There are a lot of conversions that can often time be difficult for newcomers to implement correctly. UserID, BranchID and similar attributes can sometimes lead to ambiguity in understanding.

All in all, a brilliant experience with great results to be yielded by an implementer of Branch's resources.
