Overview

The Partner Marketplace presents a wide range of partner types, such as ad networks, marketing partners, agencies, analytic platforms, and Email Service Providers (ESPs), from over 10,000 partners integrated with AppsFlyer (AppsFlyer partners).

DCR partners

DCR partners are tech partners that provide 1st-party and 3rd-party data. The AppsFlyer Data Clean Room (DCR) matches user-level data coming from the DCR partner with your user-level data, resulting in enriched combined data. Using this data, AppsFlyer creates aggregated reports, allowing you to obtain aggregated insights and optimize campaign performance while maintaining user privacy.

Note: If you don't have a DCR plan, you can submit a request via the partner page.

Active integrations
