AppMetrica vs Crashpad

AppMetrica is a mobile-app analytics and growth platform from Yandex, with web, iOS, Android, and API access. It combines attribution, product and marketing analytics, reports, funnel analysis, retention reports, revenue tracking, crash insights, and A/B experiments. Teams can send push campaigns to defined user cohorts. Its SDK records device, session, referral, in-app action, revenue, error, crash, and ANR data. Documented interfaces include Management, Reporting, Logs, Data Stream, Post, and Push APIs. Apphud integration adds purchase and subscription tracking on Custom and Pro plans. The maker says AppMetrica is ISO 27001 certified and offers SDK controls to delay statistics collection until consent. Documented SDK data is encrypted in transit with AES-128, while depersonalized data is stored on Yandex servers in the EU and Russian Federation. The Free plan costs nothing, with stated event quotas and organization-wide limits.

Crashpad is an open-source crash-reporting system and client library for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. It embeds in an application, where a handler snapshots a registered process after a crash, saves a dump, and can send it to a collection server configured by the embedding client. Applications can also request process-state dumps on demand for diagnostics. Reports use the Windows minidump format with Crashpad extensions and generally contain loaded modules, thread registers and stack memory, selected operating-system state, and memory referenced by registers and stacks. Applications can add key/value annotations, application-specific metadata, and custom minidump streams. Uploads use HTTP or HTTPS through the Breakpad wire protocol, with a documented limit of one upload per hour and failed uploads aborted. The design requires applications to obtain and honor consent because process memory may contain sensitive data. Crashpad is a client-side component; a processor is planned without a completion timeline.
