We have a platform that is similar to what you need, but geared to the web. The advantage is adapting to your use case would not be a huge issue and I've been intending to go that direction anyway. Hit me up if you would like, my email is in my profile.

Interesting- do you guys have a mobile SDK already? We'd need both iOS and Android.

Replied to you with details :)

A few thousand dollars a month is a modest budget if you want to outsource this. Try negotiating price if there's a vendor that does everything you need.

If you only need to analyze Bigger mobile publishers will usually consider analytics a core competency and handle it in-house; if you continue to grow you'll quickly reach a point where it's no longer possible to outsource this.

appfireworks.com is launching soon - apply for beta.

It looks like you guys are more on the attribution analytics side similar to Mobile App Tracking. Do you guys do funnels/retention/segmentation analysis like Mixpanel/Flurry?

We (Heap) recently launched our iOS library. In addition to retroactive funnels and arbitrary key/value pairs, we let you retroactively define events without having to ship new code to the app store.

For instance, you can define an event as a "Touch on a UIButtonView". Then, we dig into your users' entire past activity to let you instantly segment on that event or include it in funnels. No new code is required.

We haven't publicly launched our Android integration yet, but we should be able to figure something out - ping us at team@heapanalytics.com. We're flexible on pricing and would love to help.

My company ( PushSpring ) has a product that lets you track arbitrary data and events about your mobile app users and then segment them. We also offer the ability to send targeted messages to segments you define via Push Notifications, as a way of keeping them engaged (or re-engaging groups who've left). We're working with some of the largest publishers in the app store.

Love to chat about your requirements -- hello@pushspring.com if you'd like to discuss.

Hey,

at http://Trak.io we can definitely handle that data volume, all data analysis is done retroactively and in realtime.

Note: However we don't automatically track any events, as we found most people were collecting a ton of garbage event data that they would never use. So you'll need to setup the events to be tracked at the beginning of the integration.

We don't have iOS or Android SDK's, but a raw REST http API (and JS) but we'd be open to discussing what we could sort out to win your business ;)

A/B tests: date vs. date cohort segmentation, event vs. event cohort segmentation, property vs. property segmentation. And groupby (breakdown by) view.

Trends

Linear funnels are in progress, but again for an app this size let's talk about what we could do.

The main way we differentiate ourselves from Mixpanel (and similar) is that we're trying to go for as simple interface as possible. Essentially, if analytics tools or reports are complicated, they just wont get used. So we're sticking to a very design-led product which may or may not suit you, depending on what exactly you're looking for.

Email me on liam@trak.io if you want to chat further :)

What does "we're now at scale" mean? I realize this sounds snarky but I am asking sincerely. Maybe it would help if someone could finish the following sentence in such a way that it's equivalent to "we're now at scale": "We have so many customers that ..."
