AppsFlyer alternative

The AppsFlyer Alternative Built for Lean Growth Teams

Deeplinkly is the lightweight AppsFlyer alternative for app teams that need accurate install attribution, deep linking, and campaign measurement without enterprise contracts, complex onboarding, or per-MAU billing. Same-day integration. Transparent pricing. A free plan to start.

Built for mobile marketers, app developers, and growth engineers evaluating AppsFlyer alternatives.

Short answer

Deeplinkly is a lighter, cheaper alternative to AppsFlyer for teams that need install attribution and deep linking without an enterprise contract. Deep linking is included rather than sold separately as OneLink, and pricing is published (25,000 attributed installs free, then from $0.006 each) rather than quote-based — against AppsFlyer's published $0.07 per conversion on its Growth plan. AppsFlyer remains the better choice if you need its full partner-integration marketplace, its fraud suite, or Meta iOS and Google Ads attribution, which require partner certifications Deeplinkly does not hold.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Deeplinkly gives app teams the core infrastructure for mobile growth: links, attribution, and analytics — all in one platform.

Accurate Install Attribution

Attribute supported app installs to the campaign, ad set, and creative that drove them — across paid social, search, influencer, email, and organic channels. Matching uses deterministic attribution signals and never falls back to device fingerprinting.

Deep Linking Built Into Attribution

AppsFlyer's OneLink requires separate configuration from attribution. In Deeplinkly, deep linking and attribution are built into the same link — every campaign link both measures the source and routes the user to the right in-app screen, including deferred deep linking for new installs.

Transparent Pricing

AppsFlyer billing is based on monthly active users and requires a quote. Deeplinkly publishes every plan and price on our website. You can evaluate, upgrade, and manage your plan without a sales call or procurement process.

Same-Day SDK Integration

Lightweight SDKs for iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native, and Web — with documentation written for engineers, not implementation specialists. Most teams go live with attribution and deep linking in under 24 hours.

Campaign Analytics That the Whole Team Can Use

Deeplinkly's attribution dashboard is designed for marketers and engineers alike. Create campaign links without filing tickets, view real-time analytics, and export data via API — no analytics specialist required to get value from the platform.

Privacy-First Attribution Architecture

No cross-app tracking or device fingerprinting. Deeplinkly uses supported first-party attribution identifiers and leaves installs unattributed when no deterministic signal survives.

Why Teams Look for an AppsFlyer Alternative

AppsFlyer is one of the most powerful attribution platforms in the market, but that power comes with complexity, cost, and a customer experience designed for enterprise teams. Per-MAU pricing makes costs difficult to predict at scale. Onboarding typically requires working with a customer success manager. Deep linking is handled through a separate product (OneLink) rather than being integrated into the attribution flow. Teams with lean engineering resources, startup budgets, or a preference for self-serve tooling often find themselves looking for a more accessible alternative.

What Deeplinkly Offers That AppsFlyer Doesn't

Deeplinkly integrates attribution and deep linking into a single platform and a single link. Every campaign link both measures the source and routes the user — with deferred deep linking for new installs included by default, not as an add-on. The SDK is designed to integrate in hours, not weeks. Pricing is published and predictable. And the dashboard is built for the whole team to use without specialist training, which means marketers can create campaign links and view attribution data without filing engineering tickets.

Deterministic Attribution Without Device Fingerprinting

Some attribution vendors infer click-to-install pairs from signals such as IP address, device characteristics, and timing when no deterministic signal survives. Those inferred matches are less precise and can raise platform-policy and privacy concerns. Deeplinkly does not use that fallback. It attributes an install only when a supported deterministic signal survives — such as a Deeplinkly click identifier or the Play Install Referrer on Android — and otherwise leaves the install unattributed.

Making the Switch From AppsFlyer

Migrating from AppsFlyer to Deeplinkly involves three steps: setting up your Deeplinkly project and configuring your attribution domains, replacing the AppsFlyer SDK with the Deeplinkly SDK in your iOS and Android apps, and recreating your campaign link templates. Most teams complete the technical migration in two to three days. Historical attribution data from AppsFlyer can be exported and archived before switching. Our migration guide and support team are available throughout the process.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Deeplinkly as a AppsFlyer alternative.

Is Deeplinkly an AppsFlyer alternative?
Yes. Deeplinkly is an alternative to AppsFlyer for teams that need app attribution, deep linking, deferred deep linking, and campaign measurement — with same-day integration, transparent pricing, and a free plan to start.
How does Deeplinkly's attribution compare to AppsFlyer's?
Deeplinkly uses supported deterministic attribution signals and does not fingerprint devices to infer fallback matches. AppsFlyer offers a broader feature set for large enterprise teams, with correspondingly higher complexity and cost.
Does Deeplinkly include deep linking like AppsFlyer's OneLink?
Yes — and deep linking is included in every Deeplinkly plan rather than being a separate product. Deeplinkly's deep links support deferred deep linking for new users and standard deep linking for existing users, all configured from the same dashboard you use for attribution.
What is Deeplinkly's pricing model compared to AppsFlyer?
AppsFlyer publishes $0.07 per conversion on its Growth plan and quotes everything else. Deeplinkly publishes its whole rate card: 25,000 attributed installs free as a one-time allowance, then $0.006 per attributed install, stepping down to $0.005 and $0.004 as your volume grows. At 500,000 installs a month that is $2,600 against AppsFlyer's $25,000 — the difference being that AppsFlyer measures Meta iOS and Google Ads campaigns and Deeplinkly does not.
How long does it take to integrate Deeplinkly?
Most teams integrate Deeplinkly in under 24 hours. Our SDK documentation provides step-by-step guides for iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native, and Web, with code examples that engineers can follow independently without needing implementation support.
How does Deeplinkly match a click to an install?
Deeplinkly uses supported first-party identifiers and attributes an install only when a deterministic signal survives. It does not use device fingerprinting as a fallback.
Can I migrate my existing deep links from AppsFlyer to Deeplinkly?
Yes. Deeplinkly supports custom domains, so you can configure your existing deep link domain to serve Deeplinkly links. For Universal Links (iOS) and App Links (Android), you will need to update your app's entitlements and intent filters to point to your Deeplinkly domain — our migration guide covers each step.
