WHY TEAMS SWITCH

WHY TEAMS SWITCH

Where Appsflyer gets problematic

Your measurement tool shouldn't eat your marketing budget

AppsFlyer charges $0.07 per conversion. At 100,000 monthly installs, that's $7,000/month on measurement alone, before add-ons. Linkrunner costs $800 for the same volume (and gets cheaper as you scale). The $6,200+ you save monthly goes straight into actual user acquisition.

Features blocked during trial

AppsFlyer gives 30-day trials of AI dashboards and advanced analytics on Growth. When trials expire, you upgrade or lose access. Linkrunner includes everything at every tier: Link AI, campaign intelligence, fraud detection, creative-level ROAS, cohort analytics, and unlimited data
exports.

Tier controlled pricing

With AppsFlyer, support responsiveness depends on your tier and contract size. Linkrunner provides dedicated, priority support to every paying customer. Direct access to the team that built the product. No waiting days for a response on a
critical attribution issue.
