Which one is for you
Pick AppsFlyer if
- Fits if you run a mobile app and pay per conversion rather than per seat
- Works for apps with only organic and owned-media traffic on the free plan
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you run paid campaigns and want to stay free, because Zero isn't for them
- Watch out: the 12,000 free conversions are one-off, in the first year only
- Pricey if you want fraud protection or raw data, as Protect360 and API access are premium
- Skip it if you need multi-touch attribution, which is Enterprise only and unpriced
Pick Singular if
- Fits if you run a small mobile app and want attribution at no cost
- Works for teams that need SKAdNetwork and fraud checks on iOS
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: the page doesn't say whether the 15,000 free conversions renew monthly or are one-off
- Skip it if you want a posted Growth price, because its button reads Let's Talk
- Pricey if you need ETL, since data warehouse exports are a paid add-on
- Not for you if you need cross-device attribution or SSO, which are Enterprise only

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
