While developing AppClix, we have did extensive research and testing of our competitors applications. In order to really understand these products, we also developed a number of iPhone applications that are now live in the iTunes App Store. Each of these apps have both AppClix and oe competitors analytics installed.
By actually creating mobile apps, and by being actual users of our own product, we learned far more than any of our competitors have about what the frustrations are that exist in the mobile app world. We used that experience to build the best solution available and are very proud of it.
The following is a simple comparison between AppClix and the 2 leading products Flurry and Pinch Media. These two companies have recently merged and are assumed to be integrating the two products together.
