Branch vs. Kochava

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

Kochava is effective because it is integrated with networks and publishers, making it useful for compiling a quarterly report of the best sources of high-quality campaign data for the company's marketing department.
Kochava is a handy marketing tool for running mobile app campaigns and analyzing data.
Kochava assists employees in completing their demanding duties while also ensuring the security of business data.

• Branch Link's Desktop SMS is a very good feature, we use it on our landing page such as: https://acetutor.io/smsBoarding
• Branch Link's cross platform support for redirect is another powerful feature. We use it on our main website to redirect users to the correct App Store or Google Play to download our app: https://www.acetutor.io

• Tracking of clicks, views, add to cart, order etc. Across various marketing channels.
• Attribution of channels basis last click, first click etc.
• Analytics, Insights, user CAC and LTV etc.

• To my understanding Branch uses a last touch attribution method. Being able to change this setting or view the data between different attribution models would be extremely useful (first click, linear, time decay, etc).
• Not like it's a con, but it would be great for Branch to keep running totals on attrition rate and daily active users. Also maybe look into more integrations with data export partners - Appsee, Smartlook, etc.

• Team members had a hard time getting started with this tool, setup was a bit challenging at first, but customer support has been excellent.

It's very usable. Multiple teams in the company are using it, and it never takes more than 5 mins to explain to someone how to use this.

Not user friendly, poor reporting.

We have never had any issue with support response yet. In fact, they have a local POC in our city too, who routes the urgent matters to their escalation matrix.

They have been a bit slow in responding, that's the only reason for the low rating. Otherwise, they are smart and helpful.

We used to use AppsFlyer but unfortunately, we found errors in their mobile app attribution reporting. Firebase on the other hand, is a basic tool that has a lot of features, but the features are not extremely robust - especially the attribution or funnel reporting. As a result we decided to give Branch and have been extremely pleased since.

It is a wonderful option
with favorable virtues to be applied in the company's marketing process, it
allows us to obtain information through consultation and analysis, they are attentive
and friendly when offering their service and support, it also includes
functions such as a fraud tool for the management of push consent, very useful
for additional reports in analysis teams, is also competitive because it is
providing adequate payment alternatives.

• It's improved sale attribution, which allowed us to spend on more effective channels and decrease spends on less effective channels.
• It's saved marketing spends, which were actual fraud through affiliate networks, as we were able to prove the fraud from Branch and avoided paying out to that affiliate.

Incentivized

• We have had issues with quality due to the poor reporting
• Lost several opportunities based on lack of visibility
• not user friendly dashboard, and therefore harder to use than other common platforms
