AppMetrica vs Sankofa Analytics

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.

Sankofa Analytics tracks product events and provides funnels, flows, cohorts, retention analysis, session replay, and heatmaps. Events reach the dashboard within seconds, with stated p95 freshness below 30 seconds, and a funnel drop-off can open its related session replay.
