@eriktorenberg thanks for kind words (hat tip to Mr. Magritte). Regarding your questions:
(1) Vessel vs "the other guys"
- We provide a powerful WYSISYG editor (Vessel Studio) that allows you to edit, deploy, and track your app, in *real-time* without having to wait for App Store Updates.
- Our Vessel Engage feature allows you to dynamically optimize (we've got algorithms!) the timing/content of your messages to deliver the best possible experience for your (mobile) customers.
- Our analytics engine lets you dig into user activity across retention, revenue, funnel (conversion) reporting, and more (get your data and get on with your life!).
(2) Regarding LTV, let's chat offline.
