AppsFlyer is a mobile measurement partner, and a very strong one. If you buy user acquisition across dozens of ad networks, need SKAdNetwork handled properly and want fraud protection on installs, that is what it exists for.
Nohmo is not an MMP. It does deterministic install attribution from the Play install referrer and UTM-tagged links, which covers organic, referral and self-serve campaigns well — and then it answers what happened after the install, which an MMP does not.

Which one should you pick?
Choose AppsFlyer if…
- •You buy paid user acquisition across multiple ad networks and need every install attributed.
- •SKAdNetwork, install fraud and ad-network postbacks are core to your business.
- •You need agency-grade reporting on cost per install and ROAS.
Choose Nohmo if…
- •Your growth is organic, referral or self-serve rather than bought media.
- •You care more about activation and retention than about which network claimed the install.
- •You want attribution and product analytics in one bill.
Where Nohmo falls short today
- •AppsFlyer integrates with thousands of ad networks. Nohmo integrates with none — if you buy media at scale, you need an MMP.
- •We do not implement SKAdNetwork or handle iOS privacy-preserving attribution.
- •We offer no install fraud detection.
Why teams choose Nohmo
What happens after the install
An MMP stops at the install. Nohmo follows the user through onboarding, the funnel and the crash that lost them.
Priced for a product team
MMP pricing is built around paid UA volume. If you are not buying installs at scale, it is a lot of money for attribution you barely use.
One SDK
Attribution, analytics and crash reporting arrive together rather than as a third integration.
Frequently asked questions
Can Nohmo replace AppsFlyer?+
Only if you are not running paid UA at scale. If you are, keep the MMP and use Nohmo for what happens after the install.
Does Nohmo do install attribution at all?+
Yes — deterministic matching from the Android Play install referrer and from UTM-tagged short links, which covers organic and referral well.
The verdict
These are different tools. Buy AppsFlyer if you buy installs. Buy Nohmo if you need to know whether those installs turned into users.
