The Linkrunner Alternative for App Attribution and Growth
Deeplinkly is a Linkrunner alternative for app teams that need reliable deep linking, deferred deep linking, and mobile attribution. Both products meter the same way — 25,000 free attributed installs, then a published per-install rate — so the comparison comes down to the rate you pay, the depth of the native SDKs, and the tooling you get for free.
Built for app teams comparing mobile attribution and deep linking tools.
Short answer
Deeplinkly is an alternative to Linkrunner for teams that want deep linking and install attribution on native iOS, Android, and Flutter. Both platforms start with 25,000 free attributed installs, and both meter per attributed install afterwards, so the models are directly comparable — the difference is the rate. Linkrunner publishes ₹1.00 / $0.010 per install for the first 50,000, falling to ₹0.70 / $0.007 above 500,000. Deeplinkly publishes ₹0.60 / $0.006 falling to ₹0.40 / $0.004, which runs 40–43% under Linkrunner band for band: 500,000 installs a month costs $2,600 with Deeplinkly against $4,150 with Linkrunner, and 2 million costs $8,600 against $14,650. Linkrunner covers more hybrid frameworks; Deeplinkly ships free Universal Links and App Links tooling that Linkrunner does not offer.

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.
Comprehensive Attribution Across All Channels
Measure installs and engagement from paid ads, social media, influencer campaigns, email, QR codes, SMS, web referrals, and organic search. Deeplinkly's attribution covers every channel you run, giving you a unified view of campaign performance.
Reliable Deep Linking and Deferred Deep Linking
Route existing users to the right in-app screen and route new users after install with deferred deep linking. Both work across native iOS, native Android, and Flutter with no custom URL scheme configuration required.
Free Tooling for the Parts That Actually Break
Universal Links and App Links fail for a handful of well-known reasons — a redirected AASA file, a wrong SHA-256 fingerprint, a stale Apple CDN cache. Deeplinkly publishes free, no-login tools that generate apple-app-site-association and assetlinks.json, resolve a live domain and show exactly which check failed, and validate a link before you ship it. Linkrunner's free tools are marketing calculators; none of them touch an AASA file.
Custom Branded Domains
Every Deeplinkly plan includes at least one custom domain with automatic SSL. Your attribution and deep links live on your domain — not a shared subdomain — improving brand trust and click-through rates across every channel.
Real-Time Analytics and API Access
Monitor click volume, install rates, and campaign performance in real time. Export attribution events and analytics data via the Deeplinkly REST API to integrate with your data warehouse, CRM, or custom reporting pipeline.
Privacy-First Architecture
Deeplinkly uses supported deterministic attribution signals and does not fingerprint devices to infer fallback matches. Installs without a deterministic signal remain unattributed.

Linkrunner figures verified against linkrunner.io/pricing on 16 August 2026: 25,000 free attributed installs, then ₹1.00 / $0.010 per install to 50,000, ₹0.90 / $0.009 to 100,000, ₹0.80 / $0.008 to 500,000, and ₹0.70 / $0.007 above. SDK coverage checked on the npm and pub.dev registries the same day (rn-linkrunner, expo-linkrunner, capacitor-linkrunner, cordova-linkrunner, linkrunner on pub.dev). SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 are as claimed on Linkrunner's pricing page; we hold neither. “Not stated” means we found no public statement either way and will not guess. Prices change — check both pricing pages before you decide.
When Linkrunner is the better choice
We would rather you picked the right tool than picked us. These are the cases where Linkrunner is the better answer, and they are worth checking before you read anything else on this page.
Your app is React Native, Expo, Capacitor, or Cordova
Linkrunner publishes and actively maintains SDKs for all four. Deeplinkly ships native iOS, native Android, and Flutter. If you are on a hybrid framework we do not cover, Linkrunner supports you today and we do not — that is the end of the comparison.
You need SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 on paper
Linkrunner states SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliance on every plan including Free. Deeplinkly holds none of those attestations today. If your security review requires the certificate rather than a description of controls, we will not clear it.
You run under 25,000 attributed installs a month
Both products give you 25,000 attributed installs free as a one-time allowance with no expiry, and both include the full feature set on the free tier. Below that ceiling the two cost the same — nothing — so pick on SDK fit and tooling, not on price.
You want an India-based team and INR billing
Linkrunner is built in Bengaluru, works Indian business hours, bills in INR, and publishes India-specific benchmark data across 77 app startups. If local support hours and local benchmarks matter to you, that is a real advantage and we do not match it.
A Practical MMP for Every App Team
Deeplinkly is built for the practical layer of mobile growth: reliable deep links, accurate attribution, real-time analytics, custom domains, and fast integration. Whether you're building your first app or scaling an established product, Deeplinkly provides the measurement and routing infrastructure you need without requiring a dedicated implementation project or an enterprise contract.
Native SDKs, Documented in Depth
Deeplinkly ships official SDKs for iOS (Swift and Objective-C), Android (Kotlin and Java), and Flutter, each with full reference documentation covering install, platform key setup, deep link handling, deferred attribution, attribution levels, and event tracking. Linkrunner covers more hybrid frameworks — React Native, Expo, Capacitor, and Cordova — so if your app is built on one of those, they support it today and we do not. Where we overlap, our documentation goes deeper: every SDK page includes the platform configuration files, not just the API surface.
Built for Clean, Actionable Attribution Data
Clean campaign attribution data is the foundation of any effective mobile growth strategy. Deeplinkly matches deterministically wherever the platform allows, so the majority of your attributions tie to a real click rather than an inference. When your attribution is reliable, your team can make confident budget decisions — cutting underperforming channels, doubling down on high-LTV acquisition sources, and systematically reducing customer acquisition cost.
Free to Start, Scalable When You're Ready
Deeplinkly's free plan covers 25,000 attributed installs as a one-time allowance with no expiry, one custom domain, and the complete product — deep linking, deferred deep linking, install attribution, and analytics. Nothing is held back for a paid tier, so you can validate the platform properly rather than evaluating a cut-down version of it. When the allowance runs out your deep links keep redirecting; you add a payment method and pay $0.006 per attributed install, which steps down to $0.005 and $0.004 as your volume grows. There is no monthly fee and no minimum.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Deeplinkly as a Linkrunner alternative.
Is Deeplinkly a Linkrunner alternative?
Yes. Deeplinkly is an alternative to Linkrunner for teams that need mobile measurement, deep linking, deferred deep linking, app attribution, and campaign analytics on native iOS, native Android, or Flutter. Both products give you 25,000 attributed installs free; past that, Deeplinkly's published per-install rate is 40–43% lower band for band.
What does Deeplinkly offer that Linkrunner doesn't?
Two things. A published per-install rate below Linkrunner's at every band — $0.006 against $0.010 at entry, $0.004 against $0.007 at the top, which is 40–43% lower band for band. And free developer tooling: an AASA and assetlinks.json generator, a Universal Links and App Links debugger, and a Firebase Dynamic Links migration checker, none of which require an account. Linkrunner's free tools are marketing calculators — UTM builder, CPI, ROAS, LTV — and do not cover deep link configuration.
Does Deeplinkly support Flutter and React Native?
Deeplinkly ships an official Flutter SDK (flutter_deeplinkly) alongside native iOS and Android SDKs. We do not currently ship a React Native SDK. Linkrunner does, along with Expo, Capacitor, and Cordova — so if your app is React Native today, Linkrunner supports it and we do not. If you are on Flutter or native, both products cover you and the comparison comes down to rate and tooling.
How long does Deeplinkly take to integrate?
Most teams integrate Deeplinkly in under 24 hours. The SDK documentation provides step-by-step guides for every supported platform with code examples that engineers can follow without needing implementation support.
Does Deeplinkly have a free plan?
Yes. The Deeplinkly free plan covers 25,000 attributed installs as a one-time allowance with no expiry, one custom domain, and the full product — deep linking, deferred deep linking, install attribution, and analytics — with no credit card required to get started.
How does Deeplinkly match a click to an install?
Deeplinkly matches only when a supported deterministic attribution signal survives the install. It does not use device fingerprinting as a fallback, so unmatched installs remain unattributed.
Can I export attribution data from Deeplinkly?
Yes. The Deeplinkly REST API provides full access to attribution events, click data, and campaign analytics. You can export data to any data warehouse, BI tool, or analytics platform, and configure webhooks to push attribution events in real time.
When is Linkrunner the better choice?
If your app is built on React Native, Expo, Capacitor, or Cordova, Linkrunner ships SDKs for those and we do not. If your procurement process requires SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001, Linkrunner states both and we hold neither. If you need Meta iOS or Google Ads certified attribution, you need a certified MMP — that is neither of us, and you should look at AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch, or Singular. And if you want an India-based team on IST hours with INR billing and India benchmark data, that is Linkrunner's home ground.
