Which one is for you

Pick Branch if

  • Fits if you run a mobile app and want attribution and deep links from one vendor
  • Works for apps with a few ad partners on Basics

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want a price, since none is published
  • Tight if you use many partners, as Basics caps ad partners, webhooks and postbacks at 3 each
  • Not for you if you need connected-TV attribution, which is Enterprise only
  • Watch out: the trial is on Basics only and its length isn't stated

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.
