AppsFlyer is the leading mobile measurement partner, or MMP, used by app marketers to attribute installs and in app events to the campaigns and ad networks that drove them. Founded in 2011 in Israel, it sits between an app and the thousands of ad networks it advertises on, independently measuring which sources deliver installs and value, while protecting against fraud. For any company that markets a mobile app at scale, an MMP like AppsFlyer is essential infrastructure, since the ad networks cannot be trusted to grade their own homework.
AppsFlyer's distinction is its position as a neutral, comprehensive measurement layer with deep integrations across the mobile advertising ecosystem and strong fraud protection. As privacy changes like Apple's app tracking limits reshaped mobile attribution, MMPs became even more important for navigating measurement, and AppsFlyer is the market leader in that space.
AppsFlyer is best for companies that market mobile apps and need to measure which campaigns and networks drive installs and value, from growing apps to large enterprises. It suits any serious app marketing operation. It is not relevant to businesses without a mobile app, where web and product analytics fit instead, and very small apps with little paid marketing may start on its free tier before needing the paid plans.
The core strengths are mobile install and in app event attribution across thousands of ad networks, fraud protection, deep linking, and analytics on campaign performance and lifetime value. AppsFlyer adds audience segmentation, incrementality measurement, and privacy focused solutions for the post app tracking transparency world, plus a data clean room. Its neutral, comprehensive measurement and fraud protection are its defining advantages.
AppsFlyer offers a free Zero plan for early stage apps with limited volume, then paid Growth and Enterprise plans priced on conversions, or attributed installs and events, with features scaling at each tier. Because it prices on measured conversions, cost scales with your app marketing volume, so large campaigns reach enterprise pricing. Expect a sales conversation at scale.

AppsFlyer integrates with thousands of ad networks and platforms, including Google, Meta, TikTok and the major mobile ad sources, plus analytics, CDPs and data warehouses. Its vast integration catalogue is core to its value, since an MMP must measure across every channel an app advertises on.
AppsFlyer has invested heavily in privacy preserving measurement and AI, including incrementality and predictive analytics, and tools to navigate Apple's app tracking transparency and aggregated measurement. Its focus is maintaining reliable attribution as privacy rules tighten, which is the central challenge in mobile marketing.
AppsFlyer is a sophisticated platform that app teams generally find capable, with strong documentation and support, and onboarding at scale. Its G2 reviews praise its measurement breadth, fraud protection and support, with the complexity inherent to mobile attribution the main consideration.
For any company marketing a mobile app at scale, an MMP is essential, and AppsFlyer is the market leader, making it a strong default choice for reliable, neutral measurement and fraud protection. The main caution is that it is only relevant with a mobile app, and cost scales with conversion volume, so businesses without apps need web and product analytics instead, and very small apps may start on the free tier.
