ASOLOOP vs Branch.
ASOLOOP isn't an alternative to Branch — it consumes Branch to denominate experiment confidence in revenue and routes owned-channel experiments through Branch’s deep-link plumbing.
Verdict
ASOLOOP isn't an alternative to Branch — it consumes Branch to denominate experiment confidence in revenue and routes owned-channel experiments through Branch’s deep-link plumbing. Keep Branch for deep linking and attribution; add ASOLOOP to decide and run what to test next. The Branch connector is live today.

Where ASOLOOP and Branch actually differ.
Swipe to compare
| Capability | Branch | ASOLOOP |
|---|---|---|
| Primary category | Deep-link infrastructure + Mobile Measurement Partner | Operates the experiment loop + learning |
| Measures post-install revenue | Yes | Consumes the Branch feed — doesn’t measure attribution itself |
| Install attribution | Native — core wedge | Not offered — ASOLOOP consumes Branch-derived attribution |
| Deep linking and journey orchestration | Native — flagship surface | Not offered — ASOLOOP routes owned-channel experiments through it |
| Owned-routed (deep-link) experiments | Provides the deep-link plumbing ASOLOOP routes through | Native — owned_routed is one of the five experiment types |
| Decides the next experiment to run | No | Yes |
| Runs PPO / CPP / CSL on the store | No | Yes — automation handles all four surfaces end-to-end |
| Applies the winning variant for you | No | Yes |
| Denominates experiment confidence in revenue | Raw attribution only — provides the inputs | Workspace revenue band from connected AppsFlyer revenue today, on the Teams-tier stakeholder dashboard; the Branch revenue path and per-experiment CVR posterior → revenue range are in progress |
| AI traceability on every LLM-rendered surface | Not in scope | Evidence trail — every output source-traced + revocable |
| Branch integration | Native data source | Live connector today — cohort ingestion + owned-routed deep-link routing on Pro+ |
| Entry price | Tiered (usage-priced) | $49/app/mo Starter (3-app cap = $147/mo) · $89/app/mo Pro |
The right read of this table isn’t “ASOLOOP wins more checkmarks.” Branch owns the deep-link substrate and the attribution layer; ASOLOOP runs the experimentation cycle that decides what to test next — and for owned-channel experiments, that cycle routes through Branch’s plumbing. The connector is live today, so the two stack: one measures and routes, the other decides what to test and runs it. Denominating those results in your Branch revenue is in progress.

Different questions, in one line each.
Deep-link infrastructure plus a Mobile Measurement Partner — cross-platform deep linking, journey orchestration, install attribution, and post-install event tracking. The system of record for owned-channel acquisition and the substrate routed experiments run on.
An ASO experimentation system — it decides the next PPO / CPP / CSL test (plus owned-routed deep-link experiments), generates the claim-safe creative, runs it, applies the winner, and reports the result in revenue. Branch measures what your installs did; ASOLOOP decides what to test next and runs it.
When to pick which.
When you just need Branch
You need deep linking and attribution; experimentation cadence is thin.
If your team is solving deep-link orchestration, install attribution, and post-install measurement — and you’re not yet running PPO / CPP / CSL cycles — Branch alone is the right shape. ASOLOOP sits downstream of attribution; the experimentation cycle needs a cadence to compound from.
When you add ASOLOOP
Owned-channel experiments are part of your test mix.
ASOLOOP’s owned_routed experiment type routes through the deep-link plumbing Branch provides — the variant-routing layer Branch owns is the substrate for an experiment class that doesn’t exist on the store-listing surface. On top of that, ASOLOOP decides the next test, runs PPO / CPP / CSL, and accumulates per-app evidence. Denominating that confidence in revenue from your Branch data is in progress — the workspace revenue band rendered today reads from connected AppsFlyer revenue.
How they work together (the intended setup)
You run an experimentation program, you use deep links, leadership reads revenue.
Branch is the data-and-routing layer ASOLOOP reads to run owned-routed experiments, and the revenue-denomination source it will read for Branch-attributed cohorts. ASOLOOP ingests aggregated Branch cohort metrics through the live connector; today the rendered revenue figure is the workspace band on the Teams-tier stakeholder dashboard, computed from connected AppsFlyer revenue. Wiring the Branch revenue path — so the number is anchored to your Branch data, not a generic benchmark — and translating each hypothesis's CVR posterior into a revenue range on the card are both in progress. The two stack rather than compete.
Common questions
Questions buyers ask about ASOLOOP vs Branch.
Is ASOLOOP an alternative to Branch?
No — it consumes it. Branch is deep-link infrastructure plus a Mobile Measurement Partner; ASOLOOP is an experimentation system that routes owned-channel experiments through Branch’s deep-link plumbing and reads Branch cohort metrics to denominate confidence in revenue. ASOLOOP doesn’t do attribution or deep linking and doesn’t aspire to. The standard setup runs both.
How does ASOLOOP's pricing compare to Branch?
Branch is tiered usage-based pricing (sales-led for higher tiers). ASOLOOP is published per-app subscription pricing — $49/app/mo Starter (3-app cap = $147/mo) and $89/app/mo Pro. They’re additive, not substitutes: you keep paying Branch for deep linking and attribution and add ASOLOOP for the experimentation cycle.
Can I use ASOLOOP and Branch together?
Yes — that’s the intended setup. Branch provides the deep-link plumbing ASOLOOP’s owned_routed experiments run through, and it is the revenue-denomination source ASOLOOP will read for Branch-attributed cohorts. The connector is live today: ASOLOOP ingests aggregated Branch cohort metrics; the workspace revenue band renders on the Teams-tier stakeholder dashboard today from connected AppsFlyer revenue, and both the Branch revenue path and per-hypothesis revenue ranges on the card are in progress.
How does the owned-routed experiment type use Branch?
owned_routed is one of ASOLOOP’s five experiment types — it tests variants on your owned channels by routing through deep links. Branch provides that deep-link substrate, so ASOLOOP layers experiment design, analysis, and compounding evidence on top of the routing Branch already owns.
I already pay for Branch — what does ASOLOOP add?
The experimentation layer above your deep-link MMP: it decides the next hypothesis, runs PPO / CPP / CSL plus owned-routed experiments, accumulates per-app evidence, and reports a revenue-denominated readout you can defend in a leadership review. Your Branch data does more inside ASOLOOP than it does in isolation.
