Attribution has enabled precise campaign decisions but pricing and support still need improvement
Pricing is a major area for improvement, as costs rise quickly as our app grows. The pricing becomes significantly expensive as event volume increases, so a clearer or more predictable pricing tier instead of a pure pay-per-event structure would be beneficial. Confusion around billing contracts is an issue, with several users feeling locked in and confused about pricing, charges, and contracts. Support is quite inconsistent, with no dedicated account managers available to resolve queries. Technically and functionally, Appsflyer looks good, but accuracy can sometimes face issues. Some users report inaccurate or inflated metrics that undermine trust, affecting the numbers recorded. We have faced this ourselves. We also experience dashboard issues occasionally, such as when the dashboard gets stuck in a loop and will not allow us to see it quickly during login, generally taking some time or requiring us to load the same page repeatedly. This happens occasionally, but Appsflyer is still a good tool.

Accurate attribution has improved budget allocation and guides daily campaign decisions
Branch integrates with my existing marketing technology stack by using MoEngage and Braze, so basically all the marketing campaigns automatically generate the Branch link, allowing us to track referral and deep linking from each channel. Branch handles cross-platform attribution for my campaigns pretty well; compared to AppsFlyer or Firebase, I prefer using Branch. Branch helps me streamline reporting for my marketing team by automating deep linking and referral links, so it provides me better views of my campaign optimization. Branch supports my mobile app growth strategy by giving me a better view of which channels work and which need improvement. With this data, I can rethink or change my strategies on budget allocation and marketing approach. Branch's deep linking capabilities have helped my user experience and conversion rates by allowing users to click links from ads or push notifications, directing them to the right page in the front end. On the back end, we as the company get a better view of which channel generated this user, so I can optimize the marketing budget. I would describe the learning curve for new users getting started with Branch as smooth; I would definitely recommend Branch. I use Branch's analytics and reporting features daily, every time. My advice for others looking into using Branch is that you should definitely consider using Branch; if you are looking for attribution apps or software, Branch should be on your list. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"From the Appsflyer dashboard, I would say the most valuable feature I use while developing is the real-time tracking feature, which is pretty good."
"Since implementing Appsflyer, we have seen a 30% increase in our total app installations and a similar percentage increase in our user base and revenue."
"In my opinion, the best features Appsflyer offers are reliable performance, very fast speeds, and a user-friendly UI."
"Appsflyer has impacted my organization quite positively, as we were also using Adjust, and I prefer Appsflyer."
"Appsflyer has positively impacted my organization by helping me quickly integrate with Facebook and Reddit without having to write a bunch of APIs or having to install the Facebook SDK into my mobile apps."
"Appsflyer has positively impacted the organization by helping increase revenue and reduce user acquisition costs, allowing for more users at a cheaper cost."
"Appsflyer is one of the strongest platforms for mobile attribution, deep linking, and ecosystem integration, and it actually delivers strong value for performance driven brands."
"The dashboard and real-time analytics are the main reasons I use Appsflyer when I am tracking order conversions."
"Branch has positively impacted my organization by helping me track better attribution, so I can allocate my budget to the right channel."
"Branch has positively impacted our organization by bringing huge changes regarding referrals; users come to our apps, and we have increased our user base."
"The impact of Branch on my organization has vastly improved our rate of return on our investment in the campaign department, so the user acquisition cost has drastically been reduced since we have started using Branch."
 

Cons

"Some clients also mention that the pricing for Appsflyer can become expensive as apps scale and attribution volumes grow, especially for high growth consumer apps."
"I would say sometimes the integration could be a bit tough, especially because I struggled when I was integrating Appsflyer into my Apple Search Ads and my iOS application."
"Appsflyer is a powerful application, but sometimes having a lot of reports and charts can become complex initially and has a learning curve to it."
"One challenge is attribution discrepancies; sometimes the numbers among Appsflyer, Meta, and Google internal backend events do not match, especially after iOS ATT changes."
"An area of improvement for Appsflyer is the large number of reports and dashboards."
"Appsflyer could improve its documentation so that developers can implement it better."
"I feel that a feature improvement would be beneficial. After performing all the user actions, we were supposed to wait a few minutes, maybe two or five, and then check Appsflyer to download it, as there is no UI or UX to display user journey actions and properties directly."
"Pricing is a major area for improvement, as costs rise quickly as our app grows."
"Branch can improve on debugging and downtime because sometimes when I click the Branch link, it is not redirecting to the right page; it is just some glitch."
"To improve Branch, there is an area for improvement in debugging and interruptions."
"Branch can be improved as customer support is not that great, and it takes time to get a response from them."
